Camping Site in Mountains

Updated: Sep 25, 2020


On our last dry camping trip we took the Jackery 240 and logged every time we used it. We compiled the data and these are the results along with a quick review of the Jackery solar generator and solar panel. We use the Jackery 60 watt solar panel and find it easily offsets our power consumption as long as we have a few hours of good sun. The solar panel is made up of 3 smaller panels and includes a little fold out kickstand so you can point it towards the sun. It’s a great little system! Stay tuned to the end for the Bloopers. :)

After a few trips to the water we realized we needed a Kayak Cart to transport our Sea Eagle 473rl Inflatable kayak. We decided on the SUSPENZ DLX Airless Kayak Cart for flat bottom boats. This cart is big enough to handle a canoe or small flat bottom boats. They do make a V shaped cart to handle V shaped hulls so make sure you specify when looking for a cart. The cart seems to be well made and the rubber that comes in contact with the boat seems to be good quality. Since we have an inflatable boat I was a little nervous about putting that much pressure on on the bottom but it handles it well. We were only able to make one trip using the new cart but it worked very well and was easy to load and unload. I have watched a few other people use carts and the straps would come loose and the boat would slip sideways. I'm happy to report that buckles held the straps nice and firm so the boat did not slip around. We will do another longer term review once we have had more time using it.

We go over the new OVS Nomadic 270 degree awning used for the Roof Top Tent Trailer Build. The awning we chose was from Overland Vehicle Systems and is the Drivers side 270 degree awning. ** Spoiler ** We really like it! It provides great shade and protection from the elements and works very nicely on the RTT Trailer. The first camping test was at Tumalo State Park in Bend Oregon which is a beautiful park.
