Sign in or create an accountI did the math after two years and my rooftop tent works out to about $80 a night. It is faster to set up and terrible if you want to leave camp for the day. Regret is mild but real.
A jetboil in the vestibule for the first cup, dry socks stored in the sleeping bag, and a beanie I only wear to sleep. None of it is expensive and all of it changed how I feel at 6am. What is your trick?
Short drive, familiar food, a headlamp that is theirs, and a job to do at camp. We stopped trying to hike and started letting the kid run the campsite. Trips got dramatically better.

100Ah LiFePO4, a DC-DC charger, and 200 watts on the roof runs a fridge indefinitely in summer. Winter with less sun is a different story. Happy to post the wiring diagram.
