My very first solo camping trip: All alone on a river in the trees (both peaceful and terrifying!)
My first real solo camping trip in the minivan before I go full time :). It wasn't perfect and learned a lot. BUT the one thing I know for sure is that this little summer adventure will only be the first of many, many more. This feeling of freedom is something I've been chasing all my life. I'm already planning my next, much longer, trip (like 3 months longer) for next year!
I love having you here with me, thank you :)

    Found you on Reddit! - I live in Japan. But I’m moving back to USA in like 2-3 years. And I want a camper van/truck. But I want one that I can take back to USA ! Do you have any guidance or people or companies. Maybe we import from USA to Japan then we can import it back to USA later. I don’t know.. but trying to think of something :) Thank you in advance !

    Pretty darn killer. 😊. I’ll be interested to see what that huge bump is on the door. 4WD is super. Five lug wheels are part of a recall. Check on that for sure. Over a van, the shell expands on the truck chassis by an order of magnitude. The storage, kitchen can be home built but hardly to the extent you have here. And a toilet is so much better than my Vanagon.

    Sold a house and hit the RV road 2 years ago. The house's value jumped 70K in the first year, but i put the $ in a bank when deposit ratees hit 5.4% , so im not falling too far behind the houssing market. Home prices might dip in a recession and I can always get back into one then. Having too many adventures for now.

    where were the camping stuff laying around, was it like a camping spot? maybe they were left for a puropse :D

    • @CarolynJoAnn
      @CarolynJoAnn 9 місяців тому

      They had placed all the stuff by the road at a free camping area. No signs of life, we camped by the spot a few days and no one ever came back. Unfortunately we see stuff left at free campsites often, but usually junk. I think someone probably bought stuff for their trip and left it there before catching a flight home.

    So interesting! I wonder why there’s that little dead space back there between the bathroom and the closet and why you would have a little accordion door to close that off. Addressing room maybe? Seems like that Cspace could’ve been better used.

    My condolences. I had a 1998 Toyota truck. True it will take you anywhere, however you will have to seek your way back yourself. Never had a truck that broke down so often, cost so much to keep and repair and was so uncomfortable and un reliable.

      That’s too bad. We got really lucky, took this thing across North America and Mexico for a 2 year road trip and aside from having to invest in a turbo for higher elevations, we never really had any issues.

    I really like the exterior of your motor home, it has a rugged look to it. There are air conditioner hoses and an compressor in the engine compartment. A generator speaks volumes for energy capability’s. I hope everything functions properly now so you can begin to enjoy your, new to you, great motor home!!!

      Hey there! We are planning another renovation and will upgrade the insulation. The Reflectix was much better than nothing (which is how our camper came) but there’s definitely better options out there. I’m sure every JDM camper will be different, but unfortunately it’s hard to know until you have it
