I Rented a Jeep to Camp In

While my RAV4 was at the body shop getting fixed, my insurance company provided me with a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I took it on a little overnight trip and slept in it. This video is about that trip. Sorry for the video and especially audio issues with this video, but all videos after this one were filmed with the new camera. It looks and sounds great. Stay tuned for the next video to come on Wednesday. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)
