1. As Nate was alluding to, much of what I see in what is called , “adventure mobiles” is overkill. Been doing this since 1978 on my own. Was brought up in a hunting and fishing family that spent many weekend and weeks camping out of a 1960 Ford station wagon. I’ve spent many summers living out of a Saab 900 then a 1987 4wd Toyota converted panel van and the last 25yrs out of 2 different Subaru Outbacks. I understand that times are different but it is hard to watch the antics that folks are reaching at to call it adventuring. Keep it simple ! A sleeping bag, a thermarest, a one burner stove, cook kit, cans and dried foods and carry 5 gallons of water. OK a smartphone and 2 battery banks. What has made the big difference for my life on the road is the Yakima Rocket Box. The proverbial junk drawer. Garbage, dirty clothes, boots packs and wet gear. Again keep it simple ! You don’t need to drive around with your bed all laid out and the space you save by not having a cooler is well worth the sacrifice of dealing with ice and floating soaked vegetables. Jackery, 4 inch foam sleeping pads window coverings, poop buckets, “recovery plates ” diesel heaters, stools …. ? I guess this is where the RV starts entering the picture, eh ?
