Six Weeks in Six Minutes: Fall 2015 Road Trip Video

Here’s a glimpse of our life on the road last year. We had a wonderful trip from Maryland to California and back in our Four Wheel Campers flatbed Hawk on a RAM2500 Cummins Diesel. The frequent rain, cold temperatures, some snow, and many many windy days reminded us why we bought the camper. Although friends and relatives asked us to stay in their homes, we spent every night in the camper and cooked the vast majority of our meals on the road. Having an indoor galley is the bomb!

The Flatbed Camper: From RAM to La Tortuga the Glamper

We delivered our truck to Mainline Overland and left it for them to assemble the flatbed, camper and solar panel. They completed the work in time for us to pick it up and quickly pack for our maiden voyage to the Mid-Atlantic Overland Festival

What a transformation! Our pretty, new brown truck became La Tortuga the Glamper. It’s like a tiny house on wheels with infinitely more amenities than we are accustomed to.

Our cruising sailboats were both extremely minimalist as is camping with what you can check on an airplane or even from the back of our RAV4. Our Four Wheel Camper flatbed Hawk camper has flush mount sink and stove, refrigerator, heater, hot and cold pressure water, cassette toilet, dinette, inside and outside shower, tons of storage,  160 watts solar on the roof, all led lighting, and most lovely of all, a queen sized bed we can leave made up while we are traveling.
