How far will you go with your wagon (2 Viewers)

what would be your preferred sleeping arrangement assuming two people… in bad weather

I think the awning tent can accommodate 2 people, and would probably be okay during a little rain, not sure about how it would handle continuous, hard, down pour. There isn’t a lot that can. Out on the river, you’re restricted to a tent or a tarp during bad weather, so what you have better be suited to deal with it.
Gonna be a lot of trial and error, I’m sure.

My next shot in the dark for —>the perfect setup<—- is a small Offroad trailer. Pull it beind anything. Won’t limit Pig Offroad much, or if it does, leave at as a base camp. Nothing fancy, place for 2 to sleep, cooking stuff, maybe a tent on top for 4 of us, but probably let them sleep in Pig or in a real tent, could stay in it for weeks and inclement weather.

The wife and I were very comfortable in our awning room. We have a queen size, self inflating, massively tall inflatable mattress with a head board. It was a little tight spaced with that thing but we slept like we do in a hotel bed. It could definitely handle heavy rain and has. The roof is double roofed and as long as you give the awning a bit of a slope, the water will not run in. The sides are water proof and the floor goes up the sides about a foot. So it could be in standing water without the water coming in. In case you wake up in a small river like we all have being in a tent. There is no need for a ground sheet or footprint, but I could see the appeal with one to give you something to step on before climbing in the tent room. I just don't know where I will put one just yet.

@fj55tlc
Looked those up. Actually seem to be pretty reasonably priced. Being able to stand up is so so nice.
Hummmmmmmmmm

WE will be traveling with dogs most of the time. Of course they sleep the bed a ton of the time. We have always used the Cabela's 6 person guide tent and it has handled crazy weather and never failed us. We recently purchased a Big Agnes 4 season tent but the awning tents are intriguing for sure. There is no way my fat ass is going to climb up into the roof top tent.
How long does it take to set up and take down awning tent?

Time feels like a scarce commodity right now. When I have it (time) I am usually fixing or upgrading things vs. road tripping. I look forward to changing that equation...

you just got home!!

How is everyone doing?

Over the last 30 years they (as in wildcatters) have drilled two wells and somehow managed to screw them both up after striking and pumping for a few weeks. Maybe one day And up from the ground came a bubblin crude!

Trial and error is right. I've towed a military trailer around and got in places you don't want one behind you, but solves the extra space issue. I bought an OZ Tent that goes up and down in a couple minutes, but weighs #57 and is long. I threw my back out pulling it off the roof rack, but it is easy to set up which I really want and I can stand in it. So, now it's the RTT. I guess I'm covered for any trip now.

always adjusting as the years creep up, cant do everything the way we could when we were 25

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, I used to sleep under my 40 with just a sleeping bag on the gravel bars. I might be able to do it now, but you'd have to help me out from under it in the morning.

I like sleeping in the Pig with air mattress ☺. Only thing that Sucks is da midnight Pee,Pee. I think a used Military tent would be awesome for a Rainy camping social event for all !

Faster than setting up a tent. Arb has videos on YouTube. You set up the awning. The tent room has a part that slides into a groove in the awning aluminum casing. Then clip the tent room on either side. Zip the front and you are done.

These trucks ride slightly better than a tractor IMHO and putting them on the highway is a dangerous proposition at least for me.

I'm with you Big Sexy.... Fast driving is scary. All these men's like @wngrog with their fast driving videos is just silly.
55's save lives boy's. be responsible!

It's mostly dry by the morning, just go stand by the camp fire and dry the shorts then call it a day. If you cant see the pee spot it didn't happen!

True! I think with the boy starting high school, and that Dad will not be around forever have me thinking about priorities and values, and time...

The next 4 years will be time for some important memories. I don't think the boy, or Dad really care how much I wrench on the pig.
