Thanks for sharing that one! I have never skiied, but I found out that with other outdoor folks it is more or less the same, I had some great moments down in Italy with fellow riders and rockclimbers.

Sure, there are dickheads but if open towards other people a lot of folks return the openess.

By the way my own (temporary) set-up for my Touran. It needs some refinement but works alright.

Basically two plywood boards which are attached to each other at the end of the day, both front seats have to be pushed forward as far as possible.

Leaves a space of 2 mtrs. Camping chairs, table and food in a box go below. Behind the seats I store the luggage and water.

Definitely cheaper than the set-up I could buy for this car.

Good stuff Mic

Saw a quad cab Syncro Wagon with canopy heading up to Cypress a few weeks back.

Seeing a lot of 4x4 Sprinters as of late

NA gets the watered down Armada. :(. Least they could've done was throw the Cummins 5.0L in it.

Does anyone of you have a truck with a detachable caravan "box" thingy for the bed? Is it worth the money? Last year I saw quite a few nice set-ups and all in all such a set up seems to be more versatile than a VW bus or caravan.

I think your are referring to a roof top tent , Tepui sells them along with many other companies .

guys adapt them to fit trailers , pick-up boxes etc .

Or maybe a camper?

I had a pick up and camper, sold both..worst decision ever….aiming to get one again. Best set up for my needs hands down. You can even get jack set ups so you can safely leave the camper at the site while you drive the truck around.

….to think i could be parked in some ski hill parking lot right now living the life in the old camper……

I would love one of these.

yeah those are nice , I myself like the Van set-up , gonna reno ours once it unthaws , I like the ability to park and be setup with out leaving the Van . Plus with the reno I will have the ability to haul 3 bikes inside the van out of site .

I'm pretty excited at what a roof top basket paired with my canopy will afford me in terms of adventure versatility. A roof top tent is almost a certainty at this point. Rocky Mountain Tents support our local trail society...
