Mid life crisis Cali Swamper!

[wildslammer22]

What I really like also is the pack size and weight. Smallest I’ve seen packed down and only 8.5 kilos.

Agreed, I’d like to see a video to see if the pack time of 5 minutes is realistic. I got rid of my awning because of size, weight and faff of set up factor. If all those can be addressed I might reconsider!

Yes, we need to some real world numpty to have a go and then lets see. If its anything like the Brompton folding challenge I can easily double the time it takes the 'pros'.

Even 10 minutes is fine for me. My current one from Decathlon Air Seconds Base Connect was cheap and it’s functional but pack size is borderline large and it’s not the simplest to put back in the bag.

Indeed and if anyone can actually get it back into the supplied bag without blowing a gasket I’ll be very impressed!

Yes, I have two, and both deflated (but on kitchen floor) and folded and back into their bags.

This looks like a proper Swamper inflatable tent/pod:

Really nice, the reality is it’s made in China and maybe £500 on Aliexpress.
Same as roof tents.
But they work and look the dogs.
found this one, bit brown, but would do the job at £ ￡708.59 | Portable Outdoor Air Tube Canvas Cotton Camping TentBell Inflatable Tent

I imagine the pack size on that to be huge.

And the weight, especially wet. Its a completely different offering.

You could deploy the entrenching tool and dig a moat…

Entrenching tool as a first line of defence?

An entrenching tool is a field toilet!

I assume you’re looking for something for tyre change? If so I carry an Alca 5T bottle jack, not used it in anger yet but it has a 15” stroke so should be plenty enough to change a tyre and was useful for helping to mount my spare. I have maxtrax for whenever I venture off tarmac which can double up as a platform for the jack if need be.

Call that a campervan, this is a campervan

Pretty much sums up my reality. In my mind, I’m a swamper, stalking grizzly bears.

In reality I’m at a bear tea party.

That’s crazy, I literally sent the same photo to my wife a week ago! Haha. I’m now with 2 little girls one being 7 months and the other 3.5 years. The older one expects me to fix everything she breaks, and now wants a pink skateboard and surfboard. With Unicorn and Paw patrol logos.
