Maybe cutting back a bit and staying longer when we go. If it doesn't stop snowing, gas prices won't be the problem as much as access for me. There is a 8' base in the Oregon Cascades and it's going to snow down to 1000' again this weekend again. Was up there last weekend, the weather was...

I had a local fabricator do the aluminum welding on it. It was out of .120 aluminum brite plate. The width and height dimensions were very close to a M416 trailer and the length was 5'. Can't find them right now, but I know I have more pictures of it some where.

Yes, I just happen to tow and build camping trailers. The factors I would consider are; type of terrain regularly tow in, how much gear needed to haul, camping style and appearance. From this it easy to determine a suitable trailer solution. Adventure Trailers are very nice unit if you see a...

I love my Subaru, but I do miss not having a low-range. Les, if you do go the home-built route, I'd be interested in seeing your ideas. I'm always up for a good discussion on lightweight camping trailer design and building.

Yes, this is a cool idea :thumb: I like the flip up lid addition. When I make mine I'm thinking of using a saw dust and kitty litter mix since I always have buckets of saw dust around.

Since most folks are 4WD pickup wanders I thought I'd show you the AWD way to wander. My main rig is a '06 Subaru wagon; I love it and it's hard to beat getting 24-29 mpg while exploring. Granted it does have it's limitations. These are from a WA trip just before the snows hit last year. We...

Ok, pictures are the way to a "Wanders" heart :D Thanks for the welcomes. Craig, if you can climb a ladder you shouldn't have a problem. Hmmm, there is a door on both sides of the tent, depending who is camping next to you, one side could be for getting in and just flip the door open on the...

Thanks for the welcome, since I tow my camper verses toss it in the back of a truck I wasn't sure if I'd be welcome :) Here is another pic of Alsea Falls from that day.

Mark, thanks the welcome and the pointer. Kitty litter, now that's a great idea, much more cost effective than Pooh-Powder. Never having owned a cat, I don't even think of it, although there's a bag of it in my garage for oil spills.

Anyone have any experience with the PETT toilets that have the gell bags from Phillips Environment Products. Do the bags really not leak? Also can you really dispose of them with regular garbage? Thanks, Scott

Thanks ... I do my "wandering" in Subaru Wagon or a Geo Tracker so I designed a compact, lightweight trailer they could handle towing in mild off-pavement conditions.

With the rivers flowing good, we went out for a day hike last weekend to some of our local waterfalls. Alsea Falls Recreation Area is east of Alsea and west of Monroe. It was a nice sunny day, after many cloudy, rainy days. In about 3 miles (roundtrip) of hiking you can hit Alsea and Green...
