    I think me an @wore out need to go to Idaho. We aren’t big on manual labor, but we’re entertaining.

    Nothing wrong with camp commode.

    Serious question are yall doing the teepee thing or travel trailers?

    Probably no big thing to guys that have lived in that country all their life but I’d like to spend a few cool nights under the sky out there

    Well, we've done everything from living in a horse trailer to a wall tent. After spending a couple of months a year camping we all have trailers now.

    This one's mine, and we even got Starlink this year, which is what I'm on now as there is no cell service here. The trailer is old (05) but it does what I need and our buggy fits in the back. 17544461797301610402264262632311.jpg

    Oh, night temps are usually in the 30s here now, with a light frost some days. It can get into high 80s in the afternoon. Twice a day it's perfect!

    I bet that ‘05 is made a lot better than some of the stuff they are making now.
    I too am envious of your current location.

    It's a heavy pig for a bumper pull @ 14k but rv goosenecks don't mate well with the slip tanks and tool boxes in the pickup, so it works for my situation. If I was traveling a lot rather than just pulling it to a job I'd look for something different.
