Wow, it's been a while since I have provided any updates. Here is a summary.

Troopy got new Kenda Klever RT 33x9.5 tires

We also did another camping trip to the Tetons

And this last couple of weekends I managed to do a little more work on the camping set up, adding a long drawer that goes under the bed. Lot of detail work still to do on it, but taking shape.

Did a solo trip to Moab for 3 days of mountain bike riding followed by 3 days of racing (Moab-Rocks). Some nice weather as well as some wind.
Here are a few photos of the trip.

So jealous. My kids lacrosse season has me tied down this spring. Usually, I can sneak out somewhere in April or May for a desert trip. Looking slim this year. Fingers crossed.

And now with running hot and cold water.
Finally made time to add a water pump and hot water heater. So now we have a running faucet / sink, with an additional faucet for purified water (carbon filter plus UV light) and an exterior shower with hot/cold water.

Nice set up. What pump did you go with?

I went with this one,

Amazon.com

but It's a bit overkill, I wanted to have good flow at the shower, but you could probably go with a 3 gpm pump and be ok.

Just a cool photo from this weekend.

So, I have taken several trips with the Troopy this summer, but I am really bad about taking photos and posting. Also added solar panels on the hood. Below are photos from the last year.

And a few more photos.

I have same set of pots/pans, love it, the clip handle takes some getting used to but works great.
I did a shower/kitchen set up that fiys in a 5 gal bucket, same pump, it is great to have 30+ psi water pressure for dishes, showers, whatever. I learned not to leave the hose in the sun from creek, it swells ALOT under 32 psi, gotta run em under bushes or cover with sand. Having that little carpet square makes such a diff , just that little bit of barefoot area is so nice when camping for me.

Your back yard is pretty I was in Lolo helping with a youth Mountain Bike Race. I should be going back next year, I'll reach out if I go with the Troopy.

Reach out next time you’re in the Valley. Teton are my front, side and back yard. Would love to check out your Troopy. I’ve got a Troopy as well and I’d be fun to have two in the same place, maybe a bit of wheeling or camping.

Will do. Typically make it to the Tetons a few time a year. Typically once or twice with the Troopy.
