My New Off-road Camping Trailer
« on: September 22, 2008, 08:58:35 AM »
Most of you folks are into the rocks and mud; I can dig that but, our focus is on overland travel.  Going places, tourism in the elements, remote areas.

Our last trip took us to the Rockies and Canada; we brought some gear and looked for rustic cabins to stay in --- they often cost more than motel rooms.  So we stayed in motels for the whole trip.  It was a great trip; lots of dirt, lots of wildlife.  We stayed on an Indian Res in Montana, ate alot of buffalo, elk, & caribou.
/>
But next time, we'd like to take the dog and camp the whole time.  Not in campgrounds often either (only to get fresh water and recharge battery pack).
And we want to get off-road as much as possible.

Toward that end, I've been researching vehicle-dependant overland travel for several months.  There are a few American companies that make tough trailers that can follow a Jeep; they are all quite expensive.  There's one Canadian company; they are more expensive still.
Lots of companies in Australia and South Africa; they cost less sort of.  The dollar is very weak right now...

We'll be camping up near Dahlonega/Amicalola again in two weeks.
Friday after work until Sunday --- October 3-5.  PM me if you feel like coming along.

A little over 7300 miles.  Took all the mileage by gps rather than odometer; averaged just under 21 mpg.
Only 4 bears, one griz.

I don't sell these things or make money from referrals; I was just trying to provide information to the other members...   
What the dip?

Sorry,

This looked like a pretty strong advertisement, before my edit. You were showing these things off in your very first post. We have rules set in place for everyone. If the manufacturer is interested in selling them to the members then he can sign up with the rest of the sponsors. This is a club website not ebay/craigslist/roadside billboard. No hard feelings, just informing you of the rules.

Thanks,
Matt
