I’m always amazed at how you find these stunning off-the-beaten-path locations. It’s a true adventure spirit! Made me build up my appetite fast lol! KEEP THE CAMPING VIDEOS COMING!
I keep coming back watching these videos. Your little dog loves camping. Man I wish we could get some rain like that in TX. I love rain. Good eating and good coffee too.
Hi, I am writing you about your 1976 Surfside, I just purchased a 1973 surfside very cheap, it does require a complete gut out ( that was done on day one of ownership). On my second day I found both the 1.5" x 3" frame rails were completely broke at the front cross member. So I lifted the fiberglass camper off and sanded the frame down, painted rust proof conversion and painted the complete frame. As the frame was being head together with a single 1/8 plate bolted on each side, this plating is removed and the rails being welded back together along with proper Fish Plating welded on both sides and bottoms of each rails. One of my up coming projects is replacing all the window seals, this is something you have done. Can you forward the type of seals ( profile) you used and where you purchased the various window seals. I have a lovely Palomino S17 I use in Ontario, but I wanted a Boiler , Trillium , or Surfside to explore further away. Any help you can provide on the window seals will be helpful. I am in North Ontario

Thank you SO much for taking the time to look this up and forward same. I am plugging away, yet winter is coming on so only a few weeks left, spring for windows, but will order the seals i need to be ready for summer of 2024. Thank you again. @@waysoutback
I am reinstalling my rewelded frame under the fiberglass shell today, have the order setup for the windows, thank you again. I have removed the mid belt rubber as it was painted and requires a good sanding and treatment. I am short about 3 feet on this molding piece were you able to source a replacement molding for the mid shell belt that fits in the aluminum rail it's about a 1" molding about 33ft in length +/-?.@@waysoutback
Hi I love your cargo camper and enjoy watching all the out of the way places that you have visited with your trailer. Could you let me know what brand and where did you buy your zero gravity chairs ? they are exactly what we are looking for to add to our camping gear. Thanks cheers jane
Well really nice to have you along for the trip! The chairs are Amazon basics zero gravity chairs but it seems they are not available at this time. Here’s an affiliate link for some that are very similar….. Thanks for following along! amzn.to/4gycudx

Glad to have you along! Yeah she just loves it.
Why does everything just taste better when you’re camping! 😄
Looks so peaceful!
It was a nice quick trip! 👌👍
Your camera work just keeps getting better and better. Love the nature shot s too. I could smell the coffee from here.
Thanks! It’s getting better because my wife is now doing it! 😁👍
Looks like your modified trailer is working out great!!
Yeah no regrets in building it! Just wish I did it sooner 😁
Where’d you get the camp chairs? Those are sweet!
Yeah they are really nice. You can lean right back and watch the stars. I picked them up from Amazon in the clearance section.
Michigan has some pretty awesome campgrounds. Which state park is this?
Yeah so many!!
This was Black Creek State Forest Campground. It was just us and one other family in the whole campground 👌👍

Love your videos! Got a question for you. When you cross CA-US border and back, were there any questions about your CTC? Thanks.
No absolutely none….Either way! In fact they usually compliment me on it. 😄
