OMG...that is a buttload of gear!

Anyone ever take pix inside and out of their cruiser loaded and ready for the adventure!!!???
 
The real deciding factor is if you have dogs in the back.
If you don't then you may fit for a one week expedition with roof rack only.
If you have big dogs consuming the rear then you should not waste time or money on that and go for the ultimate trialer.
I have 2 kids and 2 big dogs. Its tight

Here's ours with 7 adults, two rafts, two catarafts, 4 frames, food and gear for 5 days...and I'm pretty sure the kitchen sink is in there someplace.

Ditto. Our two dogs take up more space than three kids.
 
The M416 is really nice. I want to get one myself soon.

If you want to camp out get a Coleman (or comperable)pop-up camper. We used one of these from the time I was 5 till I was 18 in my family of 7. Plenty of gear packing room in the camper including a field kitchen complete with sink, toilet, stove, shower that my Dad made from spare lumber and pipe.

Cheaper than hotel rooms, and much more accessable on road trips in remote areas. We added AC to our last one. Most come with it now.

Be sure to invest in plenty of memory for the camera, and always have it in your hand, you won't regret it. I have pics of all my childhood trips thanks to parents who thought to do that.
 
The hitch cargo carrier is from walmart. Yep it is crap, but effective. I added a light setup the the carrier to improve sight for other cars too. For my current use the setup works well. Long term I would go cargo trailer like a CND M101. I would fit tires to be the same as the cruiser.

It would be hard to lose money on a cargo trailer, it can be sold quick.
