I too have a rav4 (after selling my Jeep) and totally miss overlanding! How do you find the spots to camp and roads that will be ok for your Rav? Do you go source them out first?

We actually have a video about finding camp sites: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2WpaX1noLxrjbs Normally we plan everything online, then scope out the area while we are out camping. We always have a plan B in case a road is blocked, too sketchy, or if we decide to change plans.

I would think so! The road is not bad at all, some rocky sections, and really just one turn that is somewhat sharp & rutted out. Note there is likely still snow up there right now, so probably best to wait until all the snow has melted. Also, this is a popular spot, so I recommend going mid week if possible to get a good spot.

I believe this was late June 2020. Temperature was great that time of year. Probably still snow up there right now I would assume, given how much snow the mountains got this year. Its probably getting warmer up there already though. Awesome place, lots of easy trails to explore.

Thanks so much. Just got Gaia GPS and I was wondering about something you did. When you clicked on the land (about 4 mins in) you got info on the type of land etc. All I see on my web version is nearby hikes - nothing about the land I click on being USFS or BLM, and yet I know it is. How did you set the info to show you that?
@LunarLanderXplor
@LunarLanderXplor Ай бұрын
In order to see the public land details, you have to enable the Public Land (US) map layer. Go into the Layers menu on the left side, and at the very bottom you should see Add Map Layers. Then you can search for Public Land, and enable that layer. From there, drag the Public Land layer to the top of your visible layers list to ensure it is visible. With this enabled, you should be able to click into public land areas and see if it is National Forest or BLM land.

We camped in a few different locations on this trip! There are so many dispersed campsites along the 395, you kind of just have to explore & look for a spot that works for you. At the beginning of this video, we were across the highway from June Lake. There is a big area with a bunch of dirt roads & potential campsites there. Later in the video, we were at Alabama Hills, which has become pretty popular & crowded. Hard to find a campsite there on weekends now.

Yup! Our RAV4 TRD was stock for a long time with the iKamper tent. We have since added a lift, skid plate, bigger tires, and a few other things, but the iKamper was the first upgrade (after a roof platform from Frontrunner).

That sleeping platform/cargo drawer system is interesting. However, when looking at the pics on the company website, it doesn't appear it was designed to take out all the incline when the 2nd row seats are down. That would make it a bit tough to sleep well.
@LunarLanderXplor
@LunarLanderXplor 3 ай бұрын
It definitely does reduce the incline & provide a pretty flat surface. Because the drawers add height in the trunk, and the sleeping platform extends out from the top of the drawers, it does not have the same incline as you would experience sleeping in the trunk without the platform. I don't think there is a better sleeping system for inside the RAV.

Probably yes, but I would definitely encourage taking on any of these trails with all terrain tires, emergency gear (spare tire, air compressor, etc), and a skid plate to protect your oil pan in case you hit any rocks along the way. We did this trail before we had any lift or tire upgrades, so we were on out stock ground clearance height (8.5" I believe), and we had the AT tires the RAV4 TRD came with (which are actually really good for stock tires).
