@scottclukey2424 8 ай бұрын

So for my 2 cents, look into Ridget Scene lights with a remote or spod set up depending on your budget (buy once, cry for a tad) 😮😊

@scottclukey2424 8 ай бұрын

You might also add a canopy

@J.Young808 8 ай бұрын

Rigid lights are really good. If you want to stay with Utah company Heretic is based in state. There is Diode Dynamics, Baja, Morimoto, KC Hilights.

@Denali1600 8 ай бұрын

What a great set-up. Love your and Zora's relationship. Maybe also worth getting a little headtorch: really useful especially the red light setting as you can be discreet and it preserves your night vision.

@teresap.5991 8 ай бұрын

Sweet ❤ if I can make a suggestion, they make awesome solar motion-detecting lights that would come on automatically as soon as you stepped out or anyone else tried to step anywhere near your vehicle. I would put them on the sides and the back and the front. Just a suggestion❤

She would have to remove them to drive in the dark. I have them on my travel trailer. I “never” drive in the dark. Until last week when I left a boondock area early in the dark and had to remove them. I use that plastic super Velcro to hold them on.

Great idea getting hard shell rooftop, perfect for winter weather and security. You have a good life Grace :)

Congratulations!! I have a similar setup and I turn the ladder into a ramp by attaching strips of a heavy mat to it when it’s time for the dog to go up. Just a thought. Enjoy!

I am so happy you have a proper bed again. 60 year old Future Grace will thank you for it! I wonder if Zora can learn to climb the ladder....

As smart as Zora is i bet you could teach her to climb and go down the ladder by herself. Im glad you have a better sleeping arrangement.

It's just after midnight here in Edinburgh. I DO have a cardie on to help me cope with another cold night here. I DO have a pool of hot chocolate which I managed to force into a mug. And I DO feel so vibrant due to your wonderful soundtrack. Sooooooo.....thank you. And thank you for another fascinating video. Can't wait for the next one.

Nice settup. A hardsided insulated rooftop camper with shock loaded windows. Nice. Love the pepper spray lol. Not for indoor use 😉 You can set it next to the 12 gage shotgun and throwing knives. Actually that would be a handy setup "wall mounted" next to the door. Your doggie looks disoriented at first. Love the Moab area 😊

Loved this video and how happy and excited you are about your new RTT . Thanks for replying to my last comment it was great hearing from you! I’ve been home for only 5 days and already really miss life on the road. I think I made up my mind and will be going full time when my lease is up. Like you said I can always rent another apartment if and when I want to. Love the music on this video too!

@nature10879 6 ай бұрын

I really like that hard sided triangular looking rooftop camper. It seems easy to set up, safer from bad weather compared to fabric or soft rooftop tents. Maybe i am wrong but its really cool. Am wondering how many campers have discovered it? I have seen many complain how their soft tents break or tear up too soon. Enjoy your camping and cool vlogs as always

Great that you can leave bedding up there. I was curious at the start if Zora was gonna be up there, that has to be! What is one of your videos without Zora getting her stick!! enjoyed this video!!!

Nice changes! Hey Grace if you have a measuring tape handy, could you give us the real world interior dimensions please? Also I bet you'd like to have a red light exterior light option so it doesn't disrupt up your night vision. If you're going all in, maybe look for LED wheel well rock lights that can change color so they're set low instead of eye level, and one or two separate flood lights at roof level for major operations.

@laloolhouvum1634 8 ай бұрын

I like your RTD it's a lot safer than common and widely used hard and soft top RTT made of fabrics with just zippers and nets to open and closed your entry, window etc. It's okay when overlanding along with couple of, mates and all. Not as safe as your's for a solo trip.
