When we were kids in the early 80s we would ride our bikes from Tempe and camp out up there. A whole gaggle of 14 year olds with cheap beer stolen from Dads garage fridge and cigarettes stolen from Moms purse. Good times. We still go there occasionally. Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to Arizona! Hope you enjoy the desert and weather here. If interested, look for prickly pear jelly (they use the fruit of the prickly pear cactus to make jelly), try all of the hot sauces to find your new favorite, and explore the Mexican menu's for amazing plates of food (I really like breakfast burritos). Enjoy! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL

Thanks Peter. We absolutely love the food out here in the southwest. We actually had a delicious lunch today in Tucson.
@TheGnometownCampers8 күн бұрын
That was at the El charro, which bills itself as the oldest continuing operating Mexican family restaurant in the US. And boy it was really good! Apparently they also claimed to have invented the chimichanga. Cheers!
@peterkunka26948 күн бұрын
@ Outstanding! I'm looking at their menu; if they ship tamales, they gotta be homemade and would be worth trying.... I'd get Carnitas (seasoned pork) or Red Chile Beef tamales. If you go back for breakfast, they have a Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. Chorizo is Mexican seasoned sausage, which is delicious with eggs/cheese/potatoes wrapped in a good tortilla with hot sauce on the side. Everything else is a variation of chicken/pork/beef and made into either tacos/burritos/enchiladas, so choose your protein and then how you want it served. Enjoy the Southwest weather and dining menu!

I've been watching your videos because I'm planning on moving to a cargo trailer setup. I went out to Idaho this summer in a teardrop, and it was fine for me, but with smaller axles and tires, it really wasn't made for that long of a trip. My trip was a total of 6600 miles and I'm also from WNC. Tryon to be exact. You must be nearby looking at the neighborhood. Forest Service roads were also hard on the 12" tires.
@TheGnometownCampers8 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching. Yes, we are actually from Franklin, so we are close. We love our cargo camper trailer as you can tell and it's a lot of fun to build one out. Let us know how it goes, and keep in touch. We're actually sitting in the desert about 40 mi out of Tucson right now in ours, trying to stay warm. We will head out to Joshua Tree and Death Valley in about a week or so, and be home by about the first of March. Again, thanks for watching.

2000 lbs? Have you weighed that using a certified scale? I'm building a 5 X 10 and hope! to be all up at below 2500 lbs fully loaded and for bear if you pick up what I'm puttin' down. Your trailer is perfect. Just the right size. Has everything you need and nothin' you don't. So glad to hear how happy you are with it, and other than the rubber torsion axle issue which is now replaced, you have had virtually no trouble at all with your great setup. Thanks for your report! It is encouraging to me as I try to bust through the anxiety of building something like this by myself when I'm not a carpenter. There's light at the end of this tunnel and I should be camping in it this spring! Thanks again!
@TheGnometownCampers10 күн бұрын
Thanks so much for watching. Well, it is an all aluminum construction so maybe that's why it come out pretty light. I did weigh it on CAT scales at a truck stop. If I remember correctly I think it's 1100 lb as it was delivered, before my build. As it's been a few years I may have that wrong though. My wife is saying that's right though, she says 1095 delivered. It sounds like you've got a good build going yourself, I'm excited for you to get out and enjoy it this spring. We're currently sitting in the New Mexico desert about 30 miles north of Mexico and enjoying our winter. We're going to be heading into Arizona tomorrow and then in a week will be heading to Joshua Tree and Death Valley. So we've got an exciting few weeks ahead of us. Happy trails and good camping to you!

Quick question please….when you say wild camping what exactly does that mean? Does it mean you just pull over and start camping anywhere you like? I just got a Weroll and I live in Florida and I’m itching to hit the road but have never ventured out on the road with a pull behind camper before. Usual cabin or hotel but never with my new weroll. Could you please enlighten me on the rules and exactly what wild camping is specifically please. Thanks for any info you can provide.
@TheGnometownCampers23 күн бұрын
Yes wild camping is also known as boondocking. It is camping on public lands such as National Forest Land and bureau of Land Management land, also known as BLM in the United States, and Crown land up in Canada. There are also other places where you can find to legally boondock or wild camp. A great resource is the app called ioverlander and it has lots of sites where other people have boondocked with directions, reviews, and their recommendations. Wild camping is easier to do in the Western United States with more open land, but you certainly can do some boondocking in the National Forest in the Eastern part of the country.

Hello again ! Praying you are Both Safe and Healthy.. Dec 5, 2024 today.., catching up on all your Great Videos,, . Quick question, How many miles on the Van you pull the Wee Roll with ? Year of it ? I never really thought of a Van to pull the trailer,, Definitely smart with all the room it has. What size engine ? Would you buy it again? Sorry for all the questions but im trying to figure out how to do all this, 😀.. Have a Blessed Day. Peace 🙏 from Big Jim New Hampshire USA aka Boston Strong
@TheGnometownCampersАй бұрын
The van is a 2019 3/4 ton with a 6L engine. It currently has 115,000 miles. As you can tell, we put some miles on it. The van is rock solid and I like that I can keep bikes and things in it. I only get about 12mpg while towing and 18 or 19 without. It's been a good decision for us. Thanks for the questions, and thanks for watching!

I used to put a lot of miles on an ebike. I carried a spare tube and a co2 inflator with me and some basic tools. The co2 inflator fits in your pocket.
@TheGnometownCampers2 ай бұрын
Thanks so much for watching, David. I always carried a CO2 inflator on my road bike when I went road riding. I've also got a frame pump on my touring bike. And I've got a floor pump in my garage. But I found with the high volume, fat tires on my e-bike that the electronic pump works well. And it fits right in my panniers with my tubes and tools and other things. But yes, the CO2 inflator wins for sure, in weight and portability. Thanks for the comment!
