Tents to RVs, Backpacking to Car Camping.
On some farmland in southeast MO. Big weekend with friends we do every year. We were the first ones in and last ones out.
How much does that pop-up weigh and do you tow with the Subaru? I have a similar setup and I'm always worried about overloading.
It's 1800lbs dry, or at least that's what I told the state of Kansas. My Outback Wilderness is one of the trim levels that can tow up to 3500lbs, so it handles it just fine.
Pretty puppy!
His name is Hermann. 😄
Hermann the German! Love it!
That's a sick pop up. Long term I think we want to get one or build a camper van - until then tent life is just fine.
It was a years-long progression through bigger and better tents before we got here.
A GSD and a ball. Dog and dog's best friend.
He is 110% toy-driven.
How do you like the popup? Debating getting one currently, 2 adults + 2 kids. Anything to look out for?
We love it. It's a game changer as far as comfort and general campsite vibe.
I don't really know anything that you won't find in all manner of popup-related youtube videos, but I will say that the one thing that caught me off guard was that the lug nuts on the camper's wheels are a different size than the ones on my car. Anyone who pulls trailers probably knows this (and I know it now...) but I didn't know it before we got a flat tire 300 miles in to our very first trip with it. We had to unhook and leave the camper on a county road while we drove 9 miles to the nearest AutoZone to get a socket that fit. And this leads in to the other lesson I learned quickly - when jacking the trailer up, make sure it is attached to your tow vehicle, or else it is not stable enough to do this repair.
