@@Kalimanjao Hi. Thanks for watching. I’ve had it in 30mph winds before and as long as it’s fully tied and staked down and connected to a vehicle, it can handle a lot. It was the rain that always concerned me. Not the best rain fly coverage, imo. Light rain is fine though.

Sounds wonderful. I’m glad you have those memories.

Thanks for watching!

@@SteveSanders-SPB-FL It’s not my farm. It’s a local farmer in the small town where I grew up.

I loved it, the combine operator seemed to be having a lot of fun. Great video.

Interesting. I’ve never heard of the Atlas Adventure. Thanks.

I'm honestly not sure I could recommend the Wave 2 for extreme temps at this point. Too unreliable, and I'm now considering a split a/c. Or a higher BTU rooftop unit. Not sure yet. That said, I haven't used the refurb unit much yet, as my van's been in the shop for the last 4 weeks. So we'll see if the replacement is any better. The wrap is an insulated a/c hose cover.

@@lovedogsontheloose hope things work out for you

@@TinyHomeCookingwithSherlei Thanks. Same to you!

Thanks! Will look into it.

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

161k miles on original tranny at time of death. :)

@@MtnWanderer-TieDye- oh, I know! I used one of those as a changing room for outdoor photo sessions for awhile. It took me forever to figure out how to get it “folded” back in on itself.

Thank you. That means a lot. ♡

Glad to help!

Yes indeed. And you're welcome! It's a resource I've always known about but rarely use since we typically avoid hotels and such. Came in handy for this "adventure" for sure.

@@lovedogsontheloose We are fortunate to have adopted a new little one to our family and it’ll come in handy for our road trips.

@@tangenttrails Oh, Jerry! I'm so happy to hear this! I can't wait to see him/her! ♡

Dan explains his logic here in the comments, and it does make sense given the target audience for these pro version tents. I’ve found it easy enough to operate once I figured out what I need to do, but it’s worth making note of.

Yeah, the biothane leashes are really great, too., and I may eventually try to go that route, but so far I’ve been unwilling to give up my bar tacked loops along the length of the nylon leashes. I get a lot of use out of those, particularly when backpacking. Wish there was a way to do that with biothane.

Thanks for watching! Yes! You absolutely can close the hatch of the vehicle while the tent is attached. I did this often, especially in colder weather.

I’m not sure unless it just fit the design change better. The saddle bags are now sewn together instead of being individual bags that are attached to the harness separately. I’d bet that played a role in the limitation a little bit.

@@lovedogsontheloose I do like that it's one piece now. It looks like it's a lot easier to put on than the Ruffwear Palisades pack. That thing is kind of a pain, but I like it on Long hikes because it holds more than any backpack I've seen on the market.

@@Earthpet711 I'm fairly indifferent to the one-piece design right now, though once I get the packs out on a real backpacking trip--fully packed--I'll likely have a stronger opinion one way or the other.

Definitely still planning to do an update about these. Life had other plans for me this backpacking season, unfortunately. I do already wish the saddle bags were bigger.

@@lovedogsontheloose you might like the Utimate Direction V2 dog vest. It expands from 7.2 l to 8.6 l.

Oh cool! I didn’t know UD made a dog pack. I’ll take a look at it and maybe add that to my series of tests and comparisons. Thanks for the tip!

@@lovedogsontheloose I'm really thrilled that I was able to help you. Of course that pales in comparison to how helpful your videos have been thank you!

@@Earthpet711 That's a wonderful compliment! Thank you! I'm so glad they've been helpful.

Sorry, for some reason I’m just seeing this comment. They carry their own food, or as much of it as they can each safely carry, depending on the length of trip.

@@Earthpet711 Yes! They’re the Classics. I really like them.

@@Earthpet711 You’re welcome!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the comment! The Napier served the dogs and me really well, but I sold it when I got my van because I didn't think I'd need it. Six months later I've started wishing I'd kept it to try with the barn doors on the back or side of the van. I was incredibly happy with that tent. The Kelty is fine for added privacy but I found I didn't really use it as often as I thought I would, since it isn't secure for the dogs. Each of those tents serves a different purpose, I think, and does it well. The Kelty does now have a version that's DAC poles instead of fiberglass, I believe, which I think would be a definite worthwhile upgrade. I hated the fiberglass poles. :)

@@lovedogsontheloose Thank you. 😊

@@JCGible You're welcome!

I'm glad you found it helpful. I'm a huge fan of RAM gear.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you

Thanks, Sue. I appreciate it.

Thank you! I'm trying to improve my cinematic storytelling, so that means a lot. :)

Also, it took me awhile before I could actually put together a video about the van breaking down. Usually when I'm stressed, my artistic creativity is the first thing to go. I'm trying to lean into it more.

@@lovedogsontheloosetotally make sense to take time to digest, differentiates the art of sharing personal experience from simple info dumping.

I definitely didn't sleep well. The poop container is the Kurgo "Tailgate Dumpster." Would work great in the bed of a truck. I read somewhere that it's not intended to be left on (full) while driving, but I've been doing exactly that and it hasn't fallen off yet. *Edited to add: I do take it off when it's empty/not in use.

@@lovedogsontheloose Thanks for the info!
