Camping in an Awning Room at FDR State Park!

I’ve been wanting to test out my CVT Awning Room as a Winter camping option. I’ve also been wanting to hike down at F.D. Roosevelt State Park on the Pine Mountain Trail so I took the long weekend to get a bit of both in!

4 door wranglers are excellent little campers
I'm 6'4" I recline the passenger seat all the way back, put my old green wool Army blanket down on the seat cover up in a comforter and put my pillow under me heed and in very cold weather sleep like a warm happy baby
Back seat keep camp chair buffel bag with clothes and black out curtains
Then in the back coleman cooler , table and cook stove. In a cardboard box I keep my propane pots and pans
Been all over from GA to Missouri in my little motel on wheels
Shower in truck stops

Nice! I have too many things I've built into mine to do that! It's all good. I'm debating a RTT or trailer at this point. I do have 2 Gazelle tents: a T3X and a T4.

I much preferred my diesel heater over my propane heater. Doesnt use much power and was able to run it all night with boxers and no bag/blanket needed

[@unclejoejeeps]

Yeah a diesel heater is tempting!

[@boxergizmo]

I think I heard you mention having a Jackery in the video. Have you considered using an electric blanket to keep warm instead of the propane heater? That would help with any condensation problems and would probably keep you warmer.

[@unclejoejeeps]

My issue there is just how much power they require. It is an option and I know 12v blankets are out there too. I may be going to a lithium house battery at some point and if so I'll be able to use either my EB55 and Jackery 300 for a blanket.

I'm so glad I found your channel. I will be looking for the other one... Thanks for the video! Liked and subscribed
P.S. I'm a CCC alumnus, too....

[@unclejoejeeps]

Thanks!

Should have visited the little White House in warm springs

[@unclejoejeeps]

Yeah I should have. I'll be back, though!

Love your set up! What roof rack/cage do you have and how did you install it?

[@unclejoejeeps]

Thank you! This is the Smittybilt SRC rack and I installed it with a buddy of mine. One reason I chose this rack is because it has a much higher static and dynamic load rating. Meaning it can hold 700lbs parked and carry 300lbs while driving. Not that you want to carry that kind of weight but it gives you lots of wiggle room if you want say a rooftop tent plus awnings.

[@kansascobb]

specifically what awning and room is it

[@unclejoejeeps]

It's a CVT awning and CVT room.
