>>28976134 any jeep made after 2005 any toyota with that new turbo 4cylinder any vehicle with software or a HUD for your off-road performance metrics overlanding/offroad driving is the easiest hobby to be a complete poser in now. literally all you need is money and the dealership takes care of the rest for you lol.
>>28976134 >buy roof top tent >actually use it, go to north cape, all around northern norway and sweden >finland as well.. once home a friend asked if he could borrow it. but you dont camp? i asked. no but it would look cool on his jeep.
>Tell my dad I want to start camping in my car since the seats fold into a bed, it's lifted off the ground and it's better security than a tent >Keeps trying to sell me on overlanding shit like roof tents that cost more than the shitbox it'd be sitting on >I mention it'd be cool if I could find a used pop up camper cheap since that's all I could really haul anyway >"You should look at those tear drop campers" My dad thinks I make six figures apparently.
>>28976700 It's weighing the pros and cons of keeping stuff in the car and sleeping on top of it or keeping stuff on top of the car and sleeping in it. You only need to climb up into a tent once a day vs multiple times a day when you're getting stuff out of a roof box. You can fit more gear in the car than on top of it, because a roof tent is collapsible but a box isn't.
>>28976700 you havent camped much i see. the appeal of a rtt is its always there yet never in the way. thats the deal with most other tent setups, they are always in the way. and its a common saying we larp by driving around with our tents all the time, and its kinda true. we can, because the tent is not in our way? its just there?
I'm buying a Delica and I might LARP in that some, even though I'm 90% positive I'll be doing baby-tier van camping in it because we have shit fuck all for public land around here.
as a city slicker, I much prefer camping in an SUV than a tent
it's a bit more cramped sure, but I hate the vulnerability of sleeping in a tent. plus it's more of a hassle than folding the seats down and sleeping in the back
