I also sold my truck camper for an Outback. In order to compensate for the lack of bug free indoor space I purchased a Clam (small 6'x6') screen house that pops up. It's a nice addition and fits easily in the rooftop box. Just an idea for you.

@jomicheleseidl2033 14 дней назад

Thanks for the recommendation. I've bookmarked that for future reference.

@larryhunter8245 14 дней назад

We got one too. Love ours!

@theicangram 13 дней назад

I have thought a lot about getting one. Can you set it up by yourself?

@larryhunter8245 13 дней назад

@theicangram its possible easier with 2 (even if ones my wife who isn't very good at this type of stuff

@stevec2665 12 дней назад

@@theicangram I did it by myself.

21 liter iceco fridge with cover has been a game changer in my outback camper. It’s energy efficient and worked well in an outback. Yakima awning fits right on top with the Yakima carrier for an extra room. It’s been up in crazy winds and has been a champ. I had to change out my raised platform for a low platform with just room for a pullout table under. My kitchen and food storage is in a target 3 drawer storage bin fits right back the back hatch and holds everything I need. My Irish setter and myself needed the headroom and now the back has plenty of sleeping room for both of us. Happy travels to you and Tara❤

There's a tent/tarp with "mosquito net" all over it you can purchase so you sit out and bugs will not bother you. Hopefully. I saw a guy with that.

@mouadtaoussi1 8 дней назад

I’m in love 😍

@peterdement 14 дней назад

To mitigate the bugs, rain and light wind consider a "tail veil" type car camp tent.

Took my pup backpacking near Tahoe this weekend and the mosquitos were awful there too! Terra is so sweet, I hope she's doing better/ok.

@larryhunter8245 14 дней назад

Get a Thermacell. They really work. I got the backpacker model that runs on the standard backpacker butane cartridges. I took a pretty much empty one and it worked for quite a while as it uses so little butane.

@simply.leen. 14 дней назад

I've been eyeing the thermacell mosquito repellent. Good to see an unbiased review.

@larryhunter8245 13 дней назад

@simply.leen. the bugs drives my wife crazy so I know they work! Lots of models to chose from these days.

@scmb7665 13 дней назад

Hi Tara ❤ Even with all the different camps you look great and found a little humor use bug candles or oils ❤🐾

@theicangram 13 дней назад

Honing in on a great setup. I have had a skoolie, a tiny Ford Transit Connect, and now have a Subaru Ascent that I am learning to camp in. They all have their pros and cons but I am having a blast right now.

@georgelee9791 13 дней назад

I have a question, and my question is do you still keep in touch with Maddie Taylor who happens to be living at her new place in Germany? let me know if you’re planning in visiting her and can you do a video on that 🙂

@dawnisedge797 14 дней назад

Good job adjusting to the changes!

@lisaemery622 9 дней назад

Hi! I'm new and I found you because I just purchased an Outback this spring and we have outfitted it for camping. The Sky box and a Yakima awning have made it my dream camper ;) We also have screens for our windows and moonroof! Our first few voyages have been successful and I'm glad yours was too! It's all trial and error, right? Looking forward to following along!

@marthabradas8873 12 дней назад

great video, very informative. I live in Colorado and I have a Subaru , lol, so you definitely are giving me ideas! Thanks for sharing, have an awesome week!

@cynthiagraebe8121 14 дней назад

Would you consider getting some of pop up screen house/pop up tent like The Clam? I think it would be important if you smaller rig.

@barbarajomullen79 11 дней назад

We have a Subaru Forester and tent camp with it. We are considering upgrading to a van or small class C. I'm wondering how you manage so often breaking down and setting up. It is more difficult in a car, I think. Also, not knowing where you are going to sleep night to night. We are wondering if we should be doing the upgrade. Something that helps us now when weather is bad is having a pop up outdoor room. We have a gazelle. If the weather is bad we can pop that up in just a minute or so and then have a space outside the car that is bug free and ok in the rain.

I put the Yak Skybox 16 (best secure storage ever) on my Jeep Grand Cherokee too, also the Skinny Warrior Basket. We just came off a 2 week test run and love the setup. Instead of a full platform, I got a half platform and then a kitchen box with a pullout drawer. I added legs to the box so a bin could fit under it and it's now at just the right height for the dog to sleep on. In back of the box I put my car fridge (hate using ice) and power it with a Bluetti AC200max charged by a skinny 100watt solar panel mounted to the Skybox. Only problem I have now is I can't really carry a kayak. You're getting it dialed in pretty good. I love Colorado and can't wait to get back sometime.

@SheRoamsWild 5 дней назад

I'm sure! Since I wasn't carrying any recovery gear though, and just have stock 'city' tires right now, I thought it would be good to be cautious :) very soon though!

@katlynncok2 14 дней назад

I believe you could have just filmed driving down the road . That place is gorgeous . Do you ever sleep with the hatch up ? It's good to see the difference between car camping and your big rig .. ❤❤

@jomicheleseidl2033 14 дней назад

Those mid-day thunderstorms around Denver do present challenges for campers. I'm so happy that your little rig is functioning well and that you and Terra are resting well at night. I've done short car sleeping trips for years and the one thing that I always wished for was screened ventilation, whether a intake/exhaust fan or even good screened windows. It would make it so much easier to deal with the nighttime humidity and the daytime heat while giving me some protection against the mosquitos who seem to love my Type O blood. I'd be very interested to see if you come up with a solution for ventilation. I love your water jug and pump. It seems like a very good investment in terms of convenience and avoiding water leaks. Question: Is there a way for Starlink subscribers to quickly check for connectivity without having to set up the dish and battery etc? If they don't make an app for your phone to check connectivity, they really need to do that! I'm sorry you encountered some frustrations as you moved again and again. But it will be better next time.

@GK49245 13 дней назад

Nice 40k subscribers. Good realistic car camping experience. You live outside, so you may need a screen room. Look forward to more car camping adventures.

@jasperjenkins3290 13 дней назад

I bought a coleman 10x10 pop up screen house, it comes in a bag and only takes a min yo setup and take down....it would be perfect for you guys!

@ilka340 14 дней назад

It would be useful to know what minimal good survival things one should pack for a vehicle on the road

Consider a car door jamb foot step for more convenient roof box access: TOOENJOY Universal Fit Car Door Step, Foldable Roof Rack Door Step Up on Door Latch, Both Feet Stand Pedal Ladder, Easy Access to Rooftop for Most Car, SUV, Truck, Max Load 400 lbs

@Banagal 14 дней назад

Have you used anything to keep the mosquitoes away? If so, what did you use? I checked out your website and didn't see anything listed. Also, I saw Jackery listed.

@anne-mariegaglio1461 14 дней назад

Hi, how is Terra doing since her last health issues?

@SheRoamsWild 14 дней назад

hi! we are just going back to the vet for a recheck this week, which should give us more information about her status. re: her happiness - she is the sweetest most cuddly girl these days, and I think som stability for now has been really good for her
