Is this your daily driver or getaway car?

We use it as a truck for hauling but mainly it’s the traveler

 

What do you like most about your rig? 

We can go anywhere at any time. It fits a family of 4 and 2 dogs comfortably. We love to camp off grid and it doesn’t get any easier or more comfortable than this. Our family camping trips are so important and being able to get anywhere easily and be so happy doing it.

On your average weekend adventure, what is the gear set up you bring with you? How did you navigate gear storage needs into your rig set up?

We try to keep it simple but with kids and dogs it’s not the most minimal. We bring chairs and a table that we store in a waterproof luggage carrier on top of the truck. Inside we have all of the essentials like clothes which go under the bed, food which packs in the fridge and cabinets, a container for cookware and kitchen items so we can cook inside or out, a box of firewood, and everything else we need we pack around the table so we can still get to the fridge. We also use our Mule Outfitters flatbed storage for things like the stove, straps, blocks, hoses, tools and outdoor bathroom setup.

Any custom details? 

We are the second owners of this rig and have to give a shout out to the original owner who built it out. 

Coolest place you’ve taken your rig to?

We usually head to Utah or the mountains of Colorado. We have to keep the coolest places we have found to ourselves :) 

Any projects in the pipeline to get your rig even more adventure ready? 

It is pretty dialed in. There may be a few things here and there but overall it’s set and ready to go.

Biggest challenge in your build out?

There are a lot of individual items in the truck so it can be a challenge to troubleshoot if something goes wrong. 


Tips for others looking to do the same to their vehicle?

Four Wheel camper is an incredible company that builds incredible rigs. They have my full recommendation. We also love our Mule Outfitters flatbed setup. Those guys really know what they are doing and the extra storage space is amazing.
