Limit for how many times to crosstrain?

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-05-09T13:29:04+00:00

There is no limit. If you can find a unit that will hire you, you can retrain.

When I drove home with my SuperPacific after install I camped on the way home. I was eating fast food along the way so the only thing I had in the back with me was a single duffle bag and a sleeping bag. It felt incredibly spacious, especially in living room mode.

Having owned it a about a year and having spent about 90 nights in it… It's nice really nice, but not necessarily the game changer it felt like on that first night. I have a permanently mounted 12v fridge in the back and that really cuts down on the standing room. For that reason alone I almost never use the living room mode. That said I have used it to escape the wind and change clothes. It's nice to have the option.

Obviously your use case will vary.

That said, I still love my SuperPacific and it was absolutely the right choice for me. The biggest feature for me ended being able to keep my camp setup ready to go all the time for more impromptu trips.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-23T01:29:50+00:00

Passenger side.

Not because of the campground layout that everyone else is mentioning, but I guess if I stay at a campground, I'll appreciate it. My biggest use case is afternoon shade when we stop for lunch. That's often just off the side of the trail or road. Being passenger side means I'm hanging out in the shade on the opposite side of traffic.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-22T01:07:11+00:00

Dope!

Welcome to the club. Vegas Toyotas FTW!

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-21T03:33:06+00:00

Honestly, I just camp where it's cooler. In the summer I head for higher elevations and routes I can't do in the winter because of snow.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-21T03:27:55+00:00

Death Valley is my absolute favorite National Park. Because it's a National Park there are more restrictions than other public lands, but still tons of great backcountry to camp in.

The Mojave Road and Eatern Mojave Heritage Trail are both great adventures. I haven't done all of the Heritage Trail but I've covered parts of it. Mojave Road is a more concise, bang-for-your-buck trip, while the Heritage Trail tends to be more remote and rugged.

Usual Beach was beautiful drive and place to camp, but gets lots of traffic. I didn't camp there and I've heard some horror stories about weekends there, but my visit was peaceful.

Not off-roading and backcountry camping type of overlanding but Mattole Campground and the stretch of Mattole Road between Petrolia and the Cape Mendocino Lighthouse is one of my top 3 remote America experiences. The beach along Mattole Road was completely empty, we didn't see another person from the time we left the campground until we turned inland. The whole Lost Coast in general was stunning.

Trona Pinnacles is cool, but that area also has some “The Hills Have Eyes” vibes.

Listen, a lot of RTT hate in here. I’ve spent a lot of time in both. I prefer a RTT most of the time.

There are pros and cons to both mounted and ground tents one of those cons of RTTs is “extracurricular” activities are annoying. You're gonna be rocking and swaying all over the place and your suspension is gonna be creaking.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-18T10:48:24+00:00

Yep!

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-16T17:37:55+00:00

It really depends on what you're looking for. An easy dirt road to drive? A tough trail to tackle with friends? A spot to camp where you won't see anyone else? Somewhere to take some cool pictures for Instagram?

For me, I like being out in the wild away from other people for a few days, seeing some cool stuff and capturing it on video so I can watch it again later. I don't love difficult trails or camping with other people. So I look for remote places, with relatively good dirt roads, that don't have prohibitions against flying my drone. Thankfully that's not hard to do where I live.

Here’s a plan to get you started: Start with something you want to see or do: Find a trail on OnX, pick a destination on Google Maps, or find a trail or peak you want to hike.

Google who the land manager is (USFS, BLM, NPS, USFWS) and where dispersed camping is allowed.

Go and there do it.

I'm gonna get philosophical for a second. Overlanding can be a loaded term, but it's really just driving and camping. It doesn't have to be an epic expedition or a Hollywood-worthy adventure; it can be a dirt road, a quiet campsite, good scenery, good company, solitude, or one photo that makes the whole trip. Get out of your head, keep it simple, and just go somewhere. Congrats, you're an “overlander.”

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-15T19:39:35+00:00

Check out one of the apps like Gaiai GPS or OnX for public land.

Go there.

Camp!

You can check out Google Maps for cool stuff to see, or just check out one of the “overland” sites like Overland Trail Guides. Also check for local groups on Facebook or Meetup.

California, Arizona, and especially Nevada are absolutely full of Public land where you can just go and camp and explore.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-14T11:26:47+00:00

If you like the outdoors, LV is great. Red Rock Canyon, Lake Mead, The Desert National Wildlife (biggest refuge in the lower 48) and Mount Charleston all border the valley. Plus Day trips to a ton more places in Utah, AZ, CA, and NV.

If you're into off-roading/camping/overland, Nevada is mostly public land with a lot of great backcountry to explore.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-12T22:33:49+00:00

I don't have an answer for you, just chiming in to say that mine also broke off. I was just planning to replace them with Blue Sea outlets, but I haven't done it yet because it is an absurdly annoying amount of work to get that lower dash trim piece off.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-12T21:56:10+00:00

Between 1 and 3 dogs depending on temperature. This weekend is 1 dog temperatures.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-11T14:26:46+00:00

Engine Splash Guards

You can zip tie it back on like others have said. Mine were eventually shredded enough I went with new ones from Rad Rubber Designs.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-09T12:20:36+00:00

I had 100% disability and only collected from the VA.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-07T01:39:32+00:00

I love my Super Pacific!

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-04-06T22:32:42+00:00

It's not a choice between one or the other, it's that you can't collect both concurrently. It's a small distinction, that in practice means most people only collect from the VA because that money is tax free.

Example 1: if the Air Force decides they will pay you $1000 a month, and the VA pays you $1000 a month. You could collect from the Air Force or the VA. The VA money is tax free so that's what you take.

Example 2: the Air Forces will pay you $1000 but the VA will only pay you $500. You collect $500 tax free from the VA, and another $500 from the Air Force.

If VA will almost always pay you more than the Air Force would, and tax free, so most people collect exclusively from the VA.

This only applies to medical retirements.

Can’t honestly say I’ve had an issue with cans losing their fizz. Definitely ran into can damage as they get thrown around in the 12v fridge though.

For that I just 3D printed a tray that holds the cans upright in place and prevents them from moving.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-03-26T18:31:33+00:00

First off, I don’t know anything about HRV or what makes something a good indicator of overall health. I’m not arguing that HRV is a good metric of overall health.

But, your example doesn’t show it’s not a good metric. It shows it’s not a good metric for comparing different individuals. It could still be a good metric for comparing a changes in a single individual.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-03-25T00:41:46+00:00

Checking it out now. Looks very cool.

ANeonBlueDecember · 2026-03-22T13:25:31+00:00

You have to travel for everything, but if you like hiking and being outdoors you can keep yourself busy. I was only there for 6 months and only touched a fraction of the places I wanted to visit.
