Looking for ideas for a family camping rig. We are contemplating purchasing an FJ80 and trying very hard to talk ourselves out of a Eurovan.
A little bit about what we are looking to do. This would strictly be a spring/summer/fall weekend rig based out of VT. It would be in storage during the winter. Everything would remain packed in it while not in use. Some needs:
-Sleep 2 adults and 2 kids.
-Car seats would ideally remain in the 2nd row.
-Some combination of RTT, awning room, sleeping platform inside, or 4 person RTT??
-Cooking/dining setup that stores away.
-Table and chair storage
-Refrigerator
-Water storage
-Extra storage for toys, games, sports equipment.
-Bike rack for up to 4 bikes
-Awning for hanging out in rainy weather.
-We would prefer to limit the amount of loading/unloading of bins or other storage devices.
I'm curious what other families have come up with. We want to be quickly mobile every day or two. Basically, for a weekend or week, we want to be able to throw a few clothes and some food in and be ready to roll.
Thanks for any ideas/suggestions.
