Lost again
I hope everyone is out enjoying their favorite overlanding spot this weekend. Please remember those that have sacrificed so that we can enjoy doing what we do...
Anyway, I promised a review of our new Hallmark Everest and having returned from a 3300 mile round trip I'm ready!
Let's start with the exterior and some of the things we like about our camper...
We got the 10' carefree awning and it provides tons of shade and is very easy to deploy. Underneath the awning there are two (15 gallon?) propane tanks with a separate hose to attach our outdoor cooktop.
Another reason we chose Hallmarks is the scissor stairs that they provide as part of their standard equipment. Our rig is pretty high off the ground and this make the transition easier.
Moving to the drivers side we spec'd an exterior shower as we wanted to keep the humidity inside the rig as low as possible (remember we live on the East Coast). The unit we have is from a British company Bullfinch and it is very easy to install and use...
We have 2- 100 watt solar panels on the roof along with 2 six volt batteries and during our 5 days camping we never came close to running out of power. In fact most of the times we were over 13.5 volts! One of the things we like about our rig is that all the lighting inside and out is led so we never worried about turning the lights on both inside and out.
