Car camping has been taken to the next level for those wishing to get a bit more adventurous. Enter expedition camping which requires you to haul everything you need and setup sometimes hundreds of miles from any form of civilization. But this isn't about traveling light, it's more about being efficient and comfortable tents can take up valuable space in your rig.
The Campa Cub is a solid option but if you don't want to haul a trailer but still want to sleep off the ground, consider the ARV rooftop tent can be mounted to small cars, SUVs and pickup trucks. It takes minutes to install to your roof rack and can sleep four. Just make sure you check the weight rating of your roof rack.
If you are going car camping you either have the option of using a tent or towing a camper but the Campa USA gives you the best of both worlds with their Campa ATT and Campa Cub. These camping trailers are specifically geared towards the expedition traveler who goes beyond the campsites but seeks comfort and amenities in a small towable package.
The Campa All Terrain Trailer [ATT] is recognized as being among the best Tent Camping Trailers in the world and specifically engineered as the leading Expedition Grade product in North America.
The Campa Cub provides an excellent platform for those who long for expedition travel, while still being robust and durable for remote adventures
The Campa Cub is also offered in a 'kit format' for the DIY entrepreneur.

Polaris builds some amazing off-road vehicles but their original heritage begins with snowmobiles. While they've made a name for themselves with the racing sleds and trick sleds that have been shown in the X Games, they also have a line of utility snowmobiles that are built to work with you and handle tasks in deep snow.
The FS IQ Widetrak and 600 IQ Widetrak are both setup to help you with winter chores like haul wood, check trap lines or mend fences. With a storage rack, backrest and heated storage you can use these all winter long and when works done these sleds will take you wherever you want to go.
Last year after a lengthy search we acquired a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300D turbo diesel. We found the color combination we wanted with low miles and great interior.
Even though the car is a bold red, Laura felt it needed something a bit more so we opted to add a pink pinstripe. The pink doesn't always stand out but the difference when you look at the vehicle is like night and day but its one of those things that you might not put your finger on at first since it's so subtle.
To apply the pinstripe we discovered a guy who has been doing this by hand for 30 years. He works out of a small shop in LA and after we finally decided on color it took only 30 minutes and he was done. We couldn't have asked for a straighter line and he did this all by hand!
The pinstripe tapers at the ends which takes a lot of skill and one of his secrets is he used a piece of tape as a finger guide as he painted the car in one motion from end to end. It was beautiful to watch and we take pride in the fact that we had this hand done by an expert.
We love to honor and celebrate the work of craftsman so if you know of anyone who you feel deserves some praise let us know.
