I need a camping BEAST....for cheap
« on: May 08, 2018, 12:45:27 PM »
Ok so currently my wife and I share a 2015 JeeP Renegade and it's good for day to day but when I take it out on the weekends for scouting/hunting it's not the most capable as you could guess. I have found a way to sleep inside it so that I can just pull up and start camping rather then having to set up every time. So now Iam looking to get a 2nd car for multiple reasons but also something that is more offroad worthy. I love the idea of being able to sleep inside my next truck/suv and have been looking at a Nissan Xtera. I was curious if anyone had any other suggestions? Budget is under 15k which can be tough because I have always been told to never buy anything with over a 100k miles on it.

I had an Xtera for years. Slept in it a ton! Super comfy. Mines have the timing belt done every 120,000 and she’ll go forever.

Toyota Tacoma or 4Runner. Even with 100k+ miles you'll still get plenty of life from it.

Just wait until we take off in the new rig. It's pretty awesome, although I've burned a tank of gas in 4 days.

I have a 1985 25' Itasca that I'd let go well below your budget.  Sleep in a real bed, cook dinner, take a shower.  It's a hunting camp on wheels.  Less than 100k - if fact less than 50K miles.

4 door Suzuki sidekick. They will take you anywhere trust me.  I’ve slept in mine many a night hunting. Back seat folds down to make a nice bed.
