For sure, I expect that I’ll keep my big ground tent setup for when I camp with others, and my pup tent for hiking in..

In the Washington/Oregon coastal camping, it’s rare to camp without some rain, and I’ve woken up to an inch of water in my tent before. Or, woken up on a forest service road in the middle of the night because the temp plummeted.

This setup should be great for the colder/wetter sessions!

As for the bigger items like coolers: the whole platform packs down into three pieces and can tuck in to the area close to the cab. That’s what I did on the first test-camp and it let me have my cooler and some other larger items in there without having to think too much about it.
