We made some easy additions to our Adventure Van. These twenty upgrades have made using and camping with the Winnebago Revel so much more enjoyable. Some of these small changes will make using the 4x4 for more off-road adventures so much fun and relieve some of the stresses that come with it.

When an Adventure Van only sleeps two, but you need to sleep more, but you have a guest staying with you, what do you do? Enter the Luno Front Cab Air Mattress for Sprinter, Transit and Promaster Vans. With its hefty price tag, is it really worth the cost and the space it takes up? We take a closer look at the air mattress, testing out its comfort and how easy it is to use in the Winnebago Sprinter 4x4 Revel.

We head out into the wilderness in hopes of finding the perfect dispersed camping spot, having to engage the 4x4 mode in our Winnebago Revel was just an added bonus. We have been impressed so far with the 4wd Sprinter and how it has handled the forest service roads.After passing by quite a few nice spots along the river, we climbed to the top and found a site with panoramic ocean views. Surrounded solely by the sounds of nature, not another sole insight, we spent three days of sunny relaxation. Between the napping, campfires, and cooking, it was one of the most relaxing weekends we've had. It still amazes us that we can find these free camping spots out in the the forest.

We compare 8 different camp chairs, ranging from lightweight backpacking chairs to more robust car camping options. We rank the chairs from our favorite to the least preferred and test them in three scenarios: a quick backpacking trip, a longer backpacking trip, and car camping while sitting around a campfire. Features such as comfort, portability, and durability are all taken into account to help you choose the best chair for your camping needs.

Can't decide on whether the Omnia camp oven or the Coleman camp oven is the best? We break down the pros and cons of each, giving you the ins and outs to help you decide which one is better for your camping needs. From setup ease to cooking performance and durability, we cover all the key features to consider before making your choice. Whether it's for Van life, RV, or car camping with tents having a camp oven adds to your camp food options.

We put the Fire Maple Feast 4 Cookset and Saturn Camp Stove to the test by cooking up a meal of pan-fried noodles with veggies and tofu while camping in the National Forest of eastern Idaho. We focus on who they’re best suited for, how effectively they perform, and what aspects we didn’t like. Both products are among Fire Maple’s top sellers, designed to cater to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts. The Feast 4 Cookset offers a compact and efficient cooking solution, while the Saturn Camp Stove is known for its powerful output and stability.

We hit the trails and go over the 10 essential items you don't want to forget when day hiking. From navigation tools to first aid supplies, we cover each item and share our recommendations based on years of hiking experience. These essentials ensure you're prepared for any situation on the trail, keeping you safe and comfortable throughout your hike.

Running out of water out on the trail is never fun, but being able to filter water is a must. Having a secondary filter system as a backup when your primary system fails is always a good idea, but what is the best option? We currently use the Katadyn BeFree as our main system and the Sawyer Squeeze as backup, but would it be easier to just use tablets? We put to the test and compare not only the taste and smell, but how easy the Aquatabs and Potable Aqua Tablets are to use. As backpackers, we always seek reliable backup solutions.

We take a closer look at the Esbit Pocket Stove and Solid Fuel Tablets. With a boil water test, does it live up to the hype? We cover the key features of the pocket stove as well as the fuel tablets. The boil water test has some interesting results. Let us know if you have had experience with this stove, especially for longer backpacking trips.
