Those are some great rigs. I ran up last year, but only stayed for maybe three hours. I was planning to this past weekend until a last minute soccer tryout for my son popped up Saturday.
Regarding some of those larger trucks, does anyone think they would be very practical for the types of tracks we see in AZ? Me thinks too big.

Edit- Phil, how did the CampTeq treat you? Any update reviews you would care to share, +-?

CampTeq is nothing short of a win-win for me. The convenience is unparalleled with anything in its class. The comfort level is higher then anything I have slept in away from my home. Stopped on my way home from EXPO for a short nap. Something you wont do with other options.

I got one of the Ironman bush toilets at the expo. It is the strongest most compact flat storing toilet I have seen. I also got an Oztent for the times I dont want to haul the pop up or want to camp in more remote areas. I have read mixed reveiws on the Oztent but it sure sets up fast. We set it up in the living room and the kids have been sleeping in it since Sunday. We did not stay at the expo long. We hiked West Clear Creek and then spent several hours at the Beaver Street Brewery. On the way to Morman lake we took the back way from the Stoneman Lake turn off. It is a very scenic drive and saves you time to Mormon Lake.

You should that thing up when you have a tailwind. Sailboat, no water needed.:princess:
 
I'm still trying to figure out how you get IN it, LCP!

Looks like you slide open the PS rear window, climb on the back bumper, swing your leg over to the window, get a leg up on the spoiler, throw your weight into the tent and hope for the best. Or is there a ladder I'm not seeing?

I use a ladder, set up time is about ~30sec

Who was up there with the earthroamer rig? I worked at their facility a few years ago, and am still in contact with one of the guys still there. I know he wasn't there, but wasn't sure if anyone talked to them. Very nice rigs. I've heard they've only gotten nicer. Not for me, too pricey and cumbersome, but very nice, and well thought out.

A couple action photos for you

For the same money I would go with the designed to fit in a container Fuso.
