I was able to test my new camping gear (sleeping mat, sleeping bag and tent)this weekend.
Looks like I made some good decisions choosing the gear. The first night it was heavily raining and the temperatures were around 32°F.
Had no water inside the tent except for some condensation....not even enough to form drops.
The Coleman Hampton double sleeping bag was a little too cold the first night, so I switched to my older Marmot down sleeping bag.
The second night it was a bit warmer and I comfortably slept in the big Coleman.
My new sleeping mat has a wedge-shaped top end, so your head rests like you had a pillow. The whole mat is just awesome!!
You almost sleep like you do in your bed at home.

Here's a couple of pics from my most recent trip:
Just installed the winch and new front bumper right before the trip. My bull bar didn't show up until after the trip. Just installed it this weekend:

It's the Oztent RV-1, the smallest of the Oztents.
Packed size is a PITA and you'll ned a 4dr with folded backseat or a roof rack for a hassle-free transport.
I still have to figure a solution for my 2dr since I have no legal option for a roof rack here in switzerland.
I'm thinking about a tailgate carrier or something like that.
Here's a link to the tent: Oztent RV-1

[QUOTE=Black2013JK;3893375]It's a M416 replica made by Sierra 4x4 Trailers. There are quite a few other companies out there making them too, including Adventure Trailers, Manley ORV trailers, Ruger Trailers, and Dinoot makes a do it yourself kit. Or you can just pick up a real military one. That's what I almost did, but wasn't sure I'd be able to fix it up to my liking, so I just had a new one built.
