    I've done all kinds of camping.
    I like to sleep in the pop up camper. It's pretty nice in there.
    Sometime I sleep in the back of the 4runner if I'm out on a fishing or hunting weekend in the north woods of NH and ME. Sometimes in a big tent sometimes in a backpacking tent.
    I like all of the options really for different occasions. 20250623_113710.jpg FB_IMG_1728916554904.jpg 20230818_074121.jpg

    Enjoyed camping in VT with my son. Was not expecting it be cold at night, glad I was prepared for all weather.

    My camp is very simple. On this occasion, we parked our vehicles very close to the tents to act as a wind break.

    C6 Outdoors has a nice setup. 25lb rooftop that can be stored on a wall in the garage. Pricey for sure. Very comfortable.
    Those bam beds work well for inside sleeping too.

    It's a Rodsaver rack modified with aluminum flat stock. I had the same one in previous 4Runners but it would sag way down in the middle. So, I use the aluminum to keep it tight to the ceiling.

    Here's the rack:

    https://www.basspro.com/p/rod-saver-vehicle-rod-carrier

    I wrapped it around the aluminum flat stock and pinched it in place with another piece of aluminum. The rear piece got bolted in where the factory hooks had been. The other section is held between the hooks on the rear passenger overhead grab handles with tension. I notched the ends of the aluminum to hold the hooks more securely. It was a bit of trial and error.
