    I'm a RAV4 owner as well but it's an older vintage. I own a 2012 RAV4 V6 that I use for the bulk of my camping adventures. I have a similar setup that leans towards simplicity. For my mattress, I use two Thermarest Z-Lite pads and I utilize several smaller plastic bins set up on the side for storing camping and cooking equipment as well as food and extra clothing. I think a lot of people would be pleasantly surprised at how many places they can visit with a crossover vehicle. Thanks for sharing your RAV4 setup as well as views from your Trona Pinnacles adventure.

    So is your Rav4 AWD? I have a 2018 Rav4 FWD, but I've always wanted to do the camping trips! I just did my first actual mod on my car and had the muffler swapped out yesterday with a Magnaflow. What modifications have you done? This video really gives me hope for future camping trips! Thank you for sharing!

    I had the opportunity to buy the adventure model and decided to go with the xle. They were both 2018 used about the same mileage the one I chose (xle) had 6k less miles on it and it was $4k less which is why I went with it because I bought it cash. Looking back at it now, I should’ve financed the difference to get the adventure. I’m getting into stuff like this and some secluded places that some of my family go to I can’t because I have no AWD 😢

    Hey great video. Just a quick question. Is your Rav4 is AWD? Mine is FWD so I was wondering if AWD would be essential for camping. I know definitely AWD would be better but not sure I have to change the car with another one with AWD.

    This video just popped up on youtube. I am in the market for a "motorized metal tent," and I like your simple setup with the RAV4. Like you, I just want to explore places I see on the map and get out there and contemplate life. Not into rock crawling, and my budget is limited. Have been looking at the RAV4 Off-Road. Did you have to trim the tri-fold mattress in order to make it fit? Are you able to stretch out flat with your setup. I ask because I have low back problems. Thank you for this video and THUMBS UP!

    • @itsaluckyadventure3344
      @itsaluckyadventure3344  3 года назад +1

      I am not into rock crawling or actual trails and stuff. I just use my car for road trips and to get to camp spots like this. As for the mattress, it fits perfect, no need to cut or anything.
