    Forecast is looking ridiculous around Tahoe, so I might post up at the Carson Pass Sno Park, or perhaps at Blue Lakes. We're going to find out how well the 'Bago does in deep snow...

    If The Good Olde Boys could make their rig float, I bet yours can float in the pow.

    The WinningBago crushed 88 to the Hope Valley Sno Park, where we're currently posted up, possibly until Wednesday. I hope the bourbon holds out.

    On a practical note, chains were effective and much smoother than expected.Name:  15491636745470.jpeg

    I like Hope Valley SnoPark as a calmer alternative to Meiss Meadows. In the storm, sleeping directly on the Crest can be a windy-shaking experience.

    Chains work and they really aren’t that big of a deal to put on. Have extra repair links, extra rubber tighteners and some bailing wire just in case.

    Come visit us at Bear Valley. You can camp for free in our lot, or there are two SnoParks close by. I can probably help you with a ticket or a shower.
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    It’s not exactly Jackson, but parking lot camping seems acceptable at Grand Targhee, in the lower lot.
    Talked to a dude this morning. He was less than stoked on the plows starting at 4am. That’s the price you pay for a pow day like today.

    At least it's an option.

    Just spent 3 nights snowed in at Hope Valley, and it was super fun. Yesterday we didn't even ski: just watched the storm rage outside all day. Skiing today was excellent, and since the roads were all closed we had the entire area to ourselves. I think I like this RV based skiing thing.Name:  15494129783994.jpeg

    This thread continues to peg my stoke meter.

    Finally sold the oil burning pepper wagon for GM Duramax. Now the camper hunt begins. Mainly, I'm after Lances, S&S, Alpenlite, FWC, Arctic Fox or a Palomino. I'm still waffling between a full hard-side or a pop-up. The rig+camper will need to also tow a 5x8 enclosed motorcycle trailer for track days and races this summer, in additon to being the PNW storm chaser.

    I thought about that (which is why I was interested in yours that you were selling a few months back), but I decided against them because both the Bigfoots and the NL's overhang the rear bumper by a decent amount. Even the ones that don't have any decks / bumpers / staircase contraptions on them still overhang the bumper by at least a foot.

    Which only matters when I'm towing something or mounting a receiver hitch bike rack. My 8.5' S&S ends right at the truck's bumper. Which means I can put a receiver hitch bike rack on without issue, and the handlebars don't hit the camper. With any of the fiberglass campers I'd need a pretty long hitch extension to get the bikes clear of the camper, and from experience, a long hitch extension + fully loaded bike rack is a pretty janky setup.

    Everything else about those campers seems really nice though.

    You can get an 8' longbed version. Jackattack has one.

    I like Bigfoots, but they are effin' heavy. And expensive. And hard to find.

    I did forget to mention Northen Lites.

    And like toast said; I don't need or want some long monstrosity. I still need to tow with mine. After all, it's just the wife, the dog, and I. Mostly though, it'll be me on motorcycle missions and storm chasing.

    Northern Lite or Bigfoot? I've looked around and have never seen one that doesn't overhang the bumper. But I'd be pretty interested in that...

    they don't have to be heavy, get an older one in the 8' 2" length.

    That still doesn't so much for the availability or price.

    This is TGR. Price is no object and it's not availability, it's about having the best.

    it’s not as bad as it looks in that picture, the cot is too long to be fully extended when the passenger seat is upright for driving, so that hump in the middle flattens out for actual sleeping. sleeping in Flag was the first test trial of the new setup (used to have a pretty sweet platform but didn’t have anywhere to store it when not in use out here) and it was actually extremely comfortable. i doubt anyone over 180lbs would fit between the cot and ceiling though...
