You guys and your fancy campers. I will say I’m a little jelly.

@ChsTremor What brand tarps are those? I’m looking for a good shade tarp I can set up to cover a table for eating

The one on the right is a hammock fly made by ENO. There are plenty of knock off rain flies on amazon. I'd go there first if its for a picnic table. You can find larger ones than the hammock sized ones.

What camper is that?

I'm loving all the popups around here. And here I thought I was a dying breed.

Me too, I have a 2007 Jayco Baja 10Y, it's seen better days, but seeing the pricing on the new ones makes me think I may just need to do some work on it. lol

We got an OP4 this year. Awesome times this spring and summer. Looking forward to travelling with it and the Tremor.

I really like the looks and set up of those, have you used it in very cold weather yet? I use mine in below freezing temps and I wonder how that top would work like that.

The only issue I have had was the heater. I could not get it to work on our first trip. Came back and was able to get it to work in the house. I could not get the heater to work on the second trip, so I still need to figure this issue out.

That being said, we still slept in it fine as low as 40. 3yr old woke up cold, but he also managed to get out of his sleeping bag in the middle of the night. stuffed him back in and he was fine. Having nice beds, projector, full kitchen and fridge were really nice. The trailer tracks great even at 70 with the Atlas. MPG hit was not too bad.

So far we really like it, this is our fourth camper in three years. All of them have been under 20ft with the first three being 16ft or less. We use the trailer as a base camp, eat/sleep, and shower when needed. We prefer to not stay at campgrounds if possible.

First trailer - Intech Flyer Pursue; great trailer but no onboard water and you are unable to stand up.

Second trailer - Intech Sol Dawn Rover; more of a traditional trailer with wet bath, microwave, tv, etc. Very nice trailer but didn't use many of the features and ultimately was not what we wanted.

Third trailer - Taxa Cricket; really liked the design but we had several major problems. Taxa switched from Dexter axles to Lippert axles in 2021 and had major issues with failed axles. We had a failed axle from the day we bought it and the axle was replaced three times over 8 months before it was resolved. After several attempts to fix all the issues we had with trailer Taxa stepped up and agreed to replace the trailer with the Mantis (this was not an even swap, I paid the difference between the two trailers). I feel mine was a one-off with all the issues and would not say this was a failure in design or build, things happen and nothing man-made is perfect.

Fourth trailer is the Taxa Mantis which has been great for the short time we have had it.

Which Taxa models are you looking at; the Woolybear, Tiger Moth, or Cricket? My suggestion would be to build a hard requirement list for the must-haves vs wants.

Did you ever consider the Intech Discover model? (Or was the lack of onboard water the deal breaker?) I am really considering it because I have a motorcycle that I want to travel with also.

this is a stock internet photo, but this is the one I have, great place upfront for a motorcycle or small quad

We were not interested in the tip-out bed and did not need a toy hauler. Lack of onboard water was another requirement that the Discover does not have.

Heading back to camp and had the drone follow us...

Quick weekend trip to Indiana Dunes National Park.

Has anyone done southeast Utah (Moab and surrounding areas) in winter? I’m looking at maybe exploring the area the week after Christmas with the family. We likely will NOT be camping (blasphemy for this thread) but wanting to get out and hike, run some trails, see some stuff (weather permitting).
Have yet to see this part of the state at all and looking for any intel or insight.

You literally can't throw a rock without hitting a trail or trailhead. most of the stuff North of Moab is pretty accessible unless it's wet and there are a lot of really cool things to see up there. There is a North entrance to Arches that is a well maintained dirt road and the park is pretty cool. Closer to Moab and a bit SW are a bunch of hikes and pedestrian only trails. Dress in Layers and bring a ruck.

Not everyone is military @Yeti , to civilians it's a backpack. Sorry couldn't resist but I totally agree with what you said, lots of different things to do and see there. Just type in Moab in YouTube and you'll see tons of different trails both vehicle ran and foot or bike ran. Just plan a bit ahead to maximize your time and you'll have a blast.
