The Setup
I host camping trips where my friends show up with nothing but themselves and I handle the rest — power, water, food, music, fire, shelter, all of it.
Some of these links pay me a small commission. It costs you nothing, and I only list what’s actually in the rig. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
The rigs
The Wanderbox OutpostIt’s not a camper — it’s a basecamp.
29 feet on a Ford F-600 chassis with a 6.7-liter diesel, 41-inch off-road tires, and hydraulic suspension that adjusts itself automatically.
24 kilowatt-hours of lithium battery, 1,600 watts of solar, 150 gallons of fresh water with four-stage filtration from any source, and three-zone diesel heating that runs in a blizzard.
This thing goes anywhere, stays indefinitely, and keeps the group powered, fed, and comfortable without plugging into a single thing. It’s not a camper — it’s a basecamp.
The Jeep GladiatorWhen the road runs out, this keeps going.
Jeep’s desert-rated truck — built to go where the Wanderbox can’t follow.
Warn winch, Alu-Cab canopy, Decked drawer system, iKamper rooftop tent, and Baja Designs lighting to turn midnight into noon.
When the road runs out, this keeps going. It flat tows behind the RV on every trip and doubles as a guest bedroom to share my adventures with friends.
