Lets see your rigs packed for a trip (1 Viewer)

Good to see someone carrying this much like a lot of stuff so smartly. I could never do that as i find it very difficult to carry when moving around.

Thank you! That's what's great about this forum. Hopefully looking at another person's slant on how to pack or how they accomplish a task, can give folks ideas on how to pack their rig. I've learned a lot this way. Expedition Portal is another great source!

Drawers, Alu-Boxes and a Speski rack keep me sane.

Love the 1UpUSA rack on the front!

AWESOME CAMPER!!!

Thanks! Lived in it for two years, took it all over. Hasn't seen much use in the last year though

I am going to reorganize it a little after I stick my fridge in the left drawer. That way I can get a little more vertical storage efficiency.

How wide are those crossbars? I am looking at the 78" bars and wonder if they are too wide.

 

[jsharrell]

Crossbars on truck are only 48" and on my trailer only about 60"

Cool trailer, what is it ?

 

[Fj81]

Making room in the rear for fire wood. This way I can tie it down on my Drawers. After we get groceries I will tie down all the stuff up front. Going to Death Valley

Nice set up especially with the pooches. Do you have any pics of your rig? Loving it. Love your tailgate lid too.

Thanks...
the cot i bought on line...
works great (in the rig & at the campsite) for my pooches...
I have posted pics through the many moons on the "random pics" and "60 series porn" threads...



BTW set up seems to change every other year...

Here is a pic with the firewood for those of you who dont frequent the 80s section.

Good lord but some of you pack a LOT! I'd never go anywhere if I had to take so much stuff but when I travel in my Cruiser, I'm alone and usually for no more than two nights. At 6', I just sleep on the floor with the middle seats tumbled forward which only gives me 5' of length but in decent weather I open the tailgate and use magnets to secure one of those Coughlan mosquito tents (it's a box shape and works pretty well). In inclement weather, I sleep curled up and turn diagonal if I need a little more length. I'm always packed for an overnighter. The photo actually shows more stuff than I normally take:

The green box is kitchen and dry food. The duffel is clothing, light down bag, bath, sharps, first aid, mosquito net, etc. The red day pack (paper plates, plastic cups, corkscrew, and, plastic bags), blanket, little green bags (Trekology chairs), and folded table underneath are picnic stuff for my wife and I. I usually pull it all out save for one chair when I'm camping. On the left, rolled up, is a comfy 25x60 sleeping pad. Misc. pillow, back cushion and two foam pads complete the load for inside seating at night. I also carry a little Anker BT speaker and LED lantern in the duffel. The Yeti is for when I take cold items but I don't always carry it.

I almost never make campfires and often toss a small telescope or spotting scope in the back. As I'm usually wearing boots when camping the shoes in the back are traded out for boat shoes (great moccasin for camp), there are a couple of trekking poles, and a lithium jump starter as well hidden in the pile on the right.

Basic homemade setup both practical and affordable....works well and is functional. Being first first setup kinda happy with the setup for now camping for 1-3 days mostly for now.

Running a 105 amp third car battery behind the 40 litre Engel fridge freezer with a relay at the engine fuse box to allow starting with 3 batteries and then isolation to the third when ignitions off. Large draw fits all gear for kitchen inc Colman petrol stove and all accessories. Side draws for tools and spares inc fire extinguisher. Food box clear container, black case for clothes and a 3 gallon drinking water setup up top. 12 volt Usb & 12v sockets on both draw sides for all electrical needs including a basic battery monitor.

Camping Chair and side foldable table works well. Awning an RTT perfect for travels as well.

Better than the holiday inn

My custom and very overbuilt drawers. Likely going to rebuild in 1/2” ply this spring. The lower drawers are 37” long. I also have a 41L water tank sandwiched between the back seat and the drawers. 12v pump to bring the water to the back of the rig. The looks I get making an ice tea, complete with ice cubes, in a parking lot are hilarious. Just enough room for a bottle of scotch in the lower left corner.

Great thread. I feel like I pack a little differently each time - hopefully learning along the way...

Packing around this particular 120lbs dynamic load always presents some challenges....

He's a great road dog and enjoys exploring - so I take him whenever possible.

I've tinkered a bit with different configurations of my drawer system - most recently built enclosure around fridge (with tie-down points), added wings for full dog platform, and removed small drawer under fridge slide to lower height (I like to see out the rear passenger quarter when possible). These are load outs for five days with two people. Food, stove, and truck fluids/tools in the big drawer.

The Zarges box goes up to the roof when the dog is inside - and keep it light-ish with sleeping bags. The truck has an auxiliary fuel tank built in giving approx 400 mile range. The red Wavian can here is extra group fuel. Also shovel, awning, maxtrax and RTT on roof.

I work to keep heavy items low - water, recovery gear etc and secure the load with straps.
