How I Watch Videos Hands-Free on My Tablet When in My SUV [VIDEO]
I mentioned in the last post that I rigged up a system that lets me hang my tablet from the ceiling of my SUV so that I don’t have to hold it up with my hands.

Using a Laptop vs. Using a Tablet on Trips
In my day-to-day life, I use my laptop pretty much all day, every day for work, entertainment, and communication purposes, but I’ve found that it was less than ideal for using on the road.

Attaching a Tarp to an Awning to Make a Shade Wall
I cover in the SUV RVing book how I use a small tarp as an awning. It works great in the rain or when the sun is overhead, but it’s less useful early or late in the day when the sun is coming at you from the side.

The Book Is Now Available in Paperback
SUV RVing the book is now available in paperback on Amazon!
Also, I’m leaving today for a month-long SUV trip through northern Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. The main focus of the trip will be hiking and backpacking, and I’ll be in the mountains for days at a time. But I’ll also post here about the campsites and interesting things I find along the way. I’d also like to take some videos of my rig in action, so stay tuned for that.
