Very nice.

We are headed down Tomorrow if anyone wants to convoy. Meeting a buddy at the Maytown rest area on i5 south of Tumwater Wa. at 1130-12ish We are both pulling trailers and will be on the truck/RV side.

Welcome Stephen. Great choice in starting platform. Nice looking LandCruiser.

Sounds epic! cant wait for the pics and write up.

Welcome to the club.

Looks like a blast.

Just reserved a spot at a local campground. Will be bringing the mobile command center.

No alternate routes were necessary. Trailer handled all that was thrown at it. The difference is this trip was mainly washboards instead of PNW potholes. Only damage to the trailer was we had a window valence fall down and a drawer settled on its track causing the catch to not hold the drawer closed. Both were fixed easily on the trail. Most definitely have to get the Glamping overland trip together.

Welcome Justin. Full size guy here as well. What kind of pick up you running?

It's officially an Overland trailer now boys and girls! Old antique Trasharoo installed.

Welcome Jeff.

Welcome guys.

@T.J. Purdy No doubt! At this stage in my life it's all about just getting out and being comfortable. Now that the retirement window is starting to get closer, I have become facinated with the full time RV lifestyle.

First trip is in the books. I can get used to this. Are we overlanding right? Spent the week on a shakedown campout with the new trailer. Everything performed flawlessly and now just have to work out the organization bugs. It was a mission success as Janel was comfortable and enjoyed being warm during the night.

Thanks for the update. We snagged a spot in the Redmond OR KOA...yeah yeah, one night of glamping, for Thurs the 15th so we can either pick up the convoy in Bend or meet up on the Alvord on Friday. Now looking forward to checking out the ghost town and the Rat runner garage.

I ended up with a bottle jack and the Hi-lift jack base. If you want to go all in, get the Safe Jack kit. Starter Bottle Jack Recovery Kit with 6 Ton Bottle Jack – Safe Jack (safejacks.com)

I've ran the ARB deflator for years however recently I got a set of Boulder tools deflators Amazon.com: Boulder Tools Tire Deflators and 80 PSI Tire Pressure Gauge - Adjustable, Automatic for car, Truck, Motorcycle: Automotive They work great but I think the ARB style is faster. It's just hard on the knees having to stay crouched down the entire time.

@Mark Sjolin I've never really charged it off 12 volt from empty. It takes about 6-7 hours from empty on 110. It does have 12 volt pass through charging so I can still use it when charging in the truck. My truck has a built in 110 inverter, it's a little faster to top off the Rockpal during driving. The biggest differences between the RockPals and Jackery is the display. RockPals does not have the input/output wattage display and the 12 volt regulated output. Jackery puts out 12 volts until total discharge, Rockpals does not. The main reason I went with the Rockpals was the price and the fact that it's flat, meaning I can stack stuff on top of it.

@Mark Sjolin Not a Jackery but I'm running a Rockpals 500 with a 100watt foldable solar array. The nice thing about the portable pack is that you can move it between vehicles, bring it into the tent to charge stuff and use it in the house when the power goes out. I can get a good day maybe 2 running just my fridge on the RockPals unit. It is not 12 volt regulated so once it hits about 60%, it trips the low voltage shut off in the fridge.

Welcome back Geoff.
