That's pretty much the general rule, but check with each park you plan to visit. Usually the national parks have one or more paved nature walks near the visitor center that allow dogs, but that's it. We haven't stayed in a lot of state parks but so far they have all allowed dogs on the trails. You can also look at national forests that seem to be more open to dogs on the trails. Safe travels!

@@rudystravels thanks 😄🐶

Thanks, appreciate the kind words.

Its all a work in progress, but thanks!

Yes I will try to something like that, maybe sooner rather than later.

Thanks!

Thanks much!

Thanks for the kind words! We have an ARB screen room that matches with the ARB awning. I strongly recommend that you do the integrated pass through so it is one seamless extension of the inside of the trailer. We did it ourselves and used velcro, and it's ok, but if you really want it done nicely check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIeWl5qBiMZrf9U. I don't know what he charges but if I were starting over I would definitely have him to the room customization for me. Good luck!

@@rudystravels thanks for the quick reply. Sam came out to our house to look at our trailer and since it is an EOR he cannot help us. If we had it to do over we would get a Highway Deluxe XL. We are in our mid 60’s and are new to this small camper world. Bought our Hiker in June and taking our first trip this week. We plan on taking a trip similar to yours next year. Also have a Jack Russell so we can relate to Rudy. Love him! Thanks for sharing your adventures!

This is Mary’s husband Mark - what she meant to ask you is - what is the name and brand of the free standing tent? It looks like it’s a tan and has sides - I saw it in your video and it looks like you can stand up in it

@@MaryDietel It’s from Cabela’s. We use it for showers and we put a potty inside if we’re not really close to the campground facilities. It’s really sturdy and easy to deploy and I highly recommend it. We tried a couple other cheaper ones but they don’t compare. Here is a link www.cabelas.com/shop/en/Cabelas-easy-up-deluxe-shower-shelter-brown

@@rudystravels Thanks so much! We will check it out.

Checkout earlier build episodes (1-9) that would be it no other documents

I would be glad to answer any specific questions you may have

@@rudystravels I’ll have to go back and watch that video again. Building it that way seems much easier/lighter than out of wood.

Thanks! - I'm pretty sure its the one Iceco sells for that fridge

Thanks, my audio is definitely a work in progress!

Thanks so much I appreciate your kind words! I am going to post another one soon that’s a walkthrough with all the mods I made so stay tuned!

@@rudystravels Awesome! I have made a few mods myself. I measure 14 times before I cut or drill...lol

Thanks Brian! Yes you are correct that was April, we had great weather.

Good idea, will do that!

Thanks, once I get into it its not too bad - just need more time!

I try to get supplies from tnutz.com, their prices seem to be the best. On occasion I order from 8020.net if they have something not available on tnutz, but their prices are much higher. Be careful if your load is too heavy you may get a bit of sag in the middle, but loading closer to the brackets at the ends is no problem.

sorry for the delay in replying I'm back to this again. Yes that is the 5x9 that seems to be the sweet spot. I use portable solar panels as well, since the rooftop one is not enough. I added a 200 watt Goal Zero and another 130 watt blanket and with everything I can pull maybe 270 watts which is fine. I love the camper and we spent 10 months traveling the country in it (other stops in AirBnbs but lots of nights in the trailer along the way. I'll be posting more videos from now on.

I towed the trailer back from Indiana to NY unloaded and it was fine, but now that I am adding more weight I will be using a 2015 4 door JKUR for stability. The longer wheelbase really helps out.
