The Camper, Trailer or Adventure Vehicle Thread

You can run the showers on the outside too, although I'm not convinced that's a Canada tested solution.

With Outside Van you supply the van and their builds can get up to +$150k in stuff. Crazy, crazy money but nice to see what could be if money wasn't an option.

I'm just not convinced the behemoth of a vehicle fits what I really like to do. I love camping at the top of FSRs and although a 4x4 Sprinter is a capable vehicle I can think of a few times I'd be trying to turn around compared to sneaking through with my Taco.

Looks like a quality outfit for sure…

Good point on exploring with a large vehicle…gotta be aware at all times going forward how you're going to get out. Any vehicle too…but even more important with something so long, plus the overhead clearance….

If I was looking for more of a offroad compatable camping set-up I would look at a Westy 4x4 van or a 4x4 Toyota van . Seen a video of a Toyota 4x4 van doing the Rubicon , van looked pretty stock apart from the BFG tires .

It may have been this van , but non the less it does more than my preunner Taco can LOL

That thing is sweet!

found this one as well , much better price and works with a 20lb bottle as well

Chris Bentchetler has a wicked Sprinter Camper van. It's up in Oregon parked next to Austin Smiths rig. Cyrus Sutton has a Sprinter and opens the barn doors to set up a shower.
Everyone down here has a long section plastic pipe strapped to their roof rack with a ball valve at the lower end. As well an an awning and snorkel.

I wonder these have not caught on? AWD, mid engine and optional supercharger. I think I have a project in mind…

Just go use the pay showers

Game changer. $500 and I was a bit too spendy. $167? I'll have one of those for my next winter Tofino surf trip. My wife might even agree to go "camping" again.

Looks like you still need water pressure tho. Itd be cool to have a little pump included so you could pull water from a river/lake/tank

There is a pump available for $90 or so . If you look at the bottom of the link page there was a list of other items most common purchased and a pump was one of them .

My van already has a water pump and tank , one could use a gravity feed system if you don,t have a pump .

Or you could use a pressure feed system , with the tanks on the roof that use the sun to heat up . Most of those systems are sealed and they pressurize the tank with a hand pump .

With the passing of my Mother in Law lost the Toronto accomodation. So will be doing the camping with a minivan at events thing this summer.

The Coleman one has a pump built in right?

I would assume it does , I never watched any videos on that unit , juts the $167 set-up . Even if it does have a pump it must use a battery to power it I would think , the cheaper unit has 2 D cell batteries .

This weather needs to frig off. Itching to build my sleeping platform and re-spray my canopy.

LOL I here you , my van has a leak in the roof , and I wrecked my shoulders in late Oct and it poured then dumped snow .

A couple weeks back it was finally dry enough . Now it,s covered in snow and frozen inside and out due to the moisture . But at least I got it tarped and the puddles out that would be frozen solid .
