Not me, grease covered bare handed only
Trying to decide where to head tomorrow for a few days, wild fires and smoke is making planning which direction to head difficult 
Seems safe.
Tested the party train the last two weeks. Success. One random exploding tempered glass window that committed suicide while stationary at camp but lexan was an hour away.
Then the 5 state smoke show rolled in

Around here that thing would be in the left lane and ignoring the mountain turn-outs.
Obviously you're referring to the oregon plates and not the vehicle.
Every time I drive outside of Washington or Oregon I am reminded that not everyone seems to think they are of royal descent where the road is their birthright where all others must bend to their will.
I find that funny as a California resident. Pnw drivers are oblivious. Ca drivers are straight up malicious.
OR drivers are a unique race of just fucking clueless putters. It really is something special.

the extra cab in my brother dodge was comfy as shit to stretch out in and sleep when he let me drive it to DC on election day in 08.....actually way more comfortable than that fucking caravan i was talked into renting.in june...
what is the head clearance in the trailer?
i am still trying to figure out why colorado drivers can't drive for shit in the rain but will drive 100 mph in the left lane in a blizzard...
bro!
AWD Subie!
Head and bed clearance on the egg shell is right at 6'2". As in a buddy of mine who's 6'2" just barely fits inside and laying down on the beds.
I really really like that 08 2500 I bought. Cheap and very practical for the things I do. If it got better mileage I'd probably drive it a bunch more.
This is what I want right now, but no way we could afford it. Maybe in 3 years...
Those are really bad ass, but there is no way I could ever justify that price tag. Maybe in 2-3 years they will be like new, used twice for half price. But even half price is still twice what I could justify.
Exactly. But the improvements they have made in the electrical/etc make them vastly more attractive than even three years ago. But maybe the older ones can be updated with better batteries/etc? I freaking love the drop down bed. You could work on bikes inside in the rain with the bed up...

Picked up another ARE commercial canopy for my truck - after I sold the old canopy and the tonneau cover my f150 came with - I am into the "new" one for 300 bucks! Best solo incognito travel camper ever!
Yeah. Here too.
There is definitely something to be said for cheap and stealth. Mo’ money, mo’ problems, and all of that...
I have had a pickup truck with a shell of some kind since ‘83...

if i had a family and that guys budget....only thing i would change....4 door cab....6×6 chassis....
ideal perfect stealth camper....semi old plumbers box van....leave signage on it....metal clipboard/hardhat/yellow vest in passenger seat....
That would actually look really out of place boondocking out here, everyone would just assume you were a plumber on vacation. Especially if you had out of state plates.
On a city street, however...

yeah....correct....
i've wondered about something like this...

Li-ion + solar array seems clearly the way to go for a Class B sized vehicle when boondocking.
It's fun/cheap/covers ground but is for solo or with one other like minded person. The group/family is hard to achieve the cheap and covers ground aspect but like @junkyard said, it's all fun.
Dude, with the bed up in mine I have a damn dance floor. I told the wife a floor mount bike stand would fit perfect and could stow under the upright bed when not in use.
The Murphy bed is cheaper and zero maintenance.
@kidwoo ....kind of ostentacious....even for jackson standards....
I don't see the problem. 
Lots of sledders have been converting school buses to setups like that. Driving those things in snow seems dumb as shit to me. Plus getting sleds up onto those two upper levels looks like a parking lot catastrophe waiting to happen.

So I was incorrect when I said "that thing is precisely a school bus?"
You think it would drift better? I do.
I just meant the ass end sled carrier.
But I would like to drift one into a snow bank and see if I could get the sleds to land upright in a field.

Who knew? I just tried using wet drier sheets (bounce) on the bug splats covering my camper. You wet the splats and the drier sheet then rub the wet sheets over the bug splats and let it sit for a few minutes. Light rub with a scrub pad and rinse. The splats are gone with almost zero effort...awesome
