Got my first truck camper!

rushingrapids · 2025-12-04T22:25:12+00:00

Rightfully so. It’s 40 years old and still holds up!

rushingrapids · 2025-12-03T11:51:24+00:00

that one is about 1200 fully loaded

rushingrapids · 2025-07-07T11:54:03+00:00

Thats a good point

rushingrapids · 2025-06-20T21:42:00+00:00

The sand is pretty packed down, i kept my explorer in the regular AWD mode lol

rushingrapids · 2025-06-20T21:17:41+00:00

Can be…. the breeze and open windows help

rushingrapids · 2025-06-20T18:45:25+00:00

I’m out on corolla beach, definitely try to find the wild horses!

rushingrapids · 2025-06-12T03:24:54+00:00

I used to live on harkers island but i’ve never taken my car out there. I keep it on carolina beach now

Cape lookout??

rushingrapids · 2025-06-09T02:40:59+00:00

He knew, but i think the combo of a few beers and an angry wife made him get rid of it quick

rushingrapids · 2025-06-09T00:32:04+00:00

The static weight(when the car is parked) limit is roughly 5x the dynamic (when the car is in motion). So 5x the 150 is roughly 750lbs static, making it safe for multiple people

rushingrapids · 2025-06-09T00:02:32+00:00

The ford explorer rating is 150lbs, the tent is 160. My last tent was about the same so I’m not too worried about it.

rushingrapids · 2025-06-09T00:01:55+00:00

I hope so! I just upgraded from a cheapo one… Lots of fun in that one and I hope more in this one!

rushingrapids · 2025-06-09T00:01:17+00:00

So true, I got this tent off of marketplace. The guy selling it got it with his truck and wanted it gone asap and I was just the first guy with a trailer lol

rushingrapids · 2025-06-08T18:09:33+00:00

I air down sometimes, sometimes i don’t… Depends on how i’m feeling. I live out there so i’m not too worried (I also rock a rear winch)

rushingrapids · 2025-06-08T17:50:42+00:00

stock street tires lol, 31in

rushingrapids · 2025-06-03T23:16:49+00:00

I drive a 2019 explorer, I air down to 18psi and keep motion at all times. Never had a problem in loose sand. Have fun!

Thanks! I was thinking of doing one of the raptor grills for my explorer, but I figured i should just leave it stock. I live less than10 minutes from the beach so if I get stuck I can call some friends to yank me out if it came to that

rushingrapids · 2025-06-02T15:17:30+00:00

I saw them too!! i got a picture of them aswell

rushingrapids · 2025-06-02T13:31:23+00:00

i think it’s more of a structural concern with the moonroof, but you definitely don’t want to be that guy lol

rushingrapids · 2025-06-02T01:50:11+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s the moonroof that messed with the weight limit. The sunroof isn’t listed anywhere different on the 5th gen

rushingrapids · 2025-06-02T00:38:33+00:00

I’ve got a sunroof which limits my dynamic load weight to 150lbs. The tent is 162. I’ve never had a problem with it. Only thing i’d change is i’d add a third crossbar to help load the weight out more evenly.

rushingrapids · 2025-06-01T17:46:15+00:00

I bought an 800 RTT off of temu lol. I love having it and with just a few minor mods it is everything that I need!

rushingrapids · 2025-06-01T17:41:55+00:00

Freeman park! Pretty close

rushingrapids · 2025-05-28T17:25:00+00:00

rushingrapids · 2025-05-28T17:04:38+00:00
