We are definitely interested in some type of RV, and have been, for several years. Our tentative plan was to to finish paying for my wife’s Toyota Tundra, which we financed with 0% interest, then buy an RV, but the COVID health emergency has us wishing that we had acted sooner, on the RV. We do not fully trust the disinfection procedures at hotels, and my wife has health conditions that make it wise for her to be extra-careful about COVID.
We have made overnight trips, sleeping in her Max-cab Tundra. I am able to do several-day trips, by myself, sleeping in my single-cab Toyota Tundra. I can do well enough, reclining the driver’s seat, for short naps, for a night or two, before I have to find a way to sleep properly flat, on my side.
The best way to experience some photography destinations is to arrive the previous afternoon or evening, if overnight parking is allowed.
We have a Tepui Tent, mounted on an off-road-oriented, high-ground-clearance utility trailer. The trailer was made by a now-defunct company, but similar to the “Mule,” built in Alabama, USA. We so very rarely consider it worth the trouble, however, to tow the trailer, so the tent has seen little actual usage. We may be about to mount the tent on my wife’s Tundra.
Notably, the trailer taught us that we would probably not want to tow a larger “travel” trailer, no matter how much we both love the idea of Airstreams.
For non-USA readers, the Toyota Tundra is a “full-sized” pick-up truck, larger than the Hi-Lux.
