Camping Appreciation

[VandalSibs]

Wanted to share some photos of the camping trip my wife & I did this weekend in our 3 - we packed it to the gills, it handled like a champ & charging worked out great (have a TT-30 adapter).

All in packed:

• 6-person tent (do they really hold that many people, though?)
• 10x10 pop-up awning
• Queen-sized air mattress & cot
• Necessary bedding for said mattress
• Food cooler (enough for two meals a day for four people)
• Five gallon water cooler
• 2x 2.5 gallon jugs/water
• Clothing duffle
• Non-cooled food
• Two folding camp chairs
• Two humans

You need a Y.

Would be nice to have... might happen when my wife's Outback has driven it's final mile.

This was a fun little trip to do though & test out EV camping for ourselves!

I'm a big fan of camping with my blue 3, as well!

When we upgrade my wife's car to some sort of EV, we plan on making a little tear-drop trailer a part of that. That's a few years off, though.

Also, it's kinda hard to park a trailer in an apartment complex, considering we have two cars, but only one garage already...

What are you using to charge in that picture (in other words, what was the power situation in that spot?)? Curious to see how common NEMA 14-50 plugs are becoming in camping sites around the country....

That site had NEMA 5-20, 14-50, and TT-30 plugs, so I was using the 14-50, but I did test my TT-30 adapter as well. My parents were staying a few sites down, and that site was lacking the 14-50. This was at Bear Head Lake SP in northern Minnesota.

I hear ya. I actually enjoyed car/tent camping. And then kids came along . Started with a 18’ single axle and has since evolved into a 39’ apartment

My parents' trailer-owning history is similar, just not quite so large intin end. Every time they said they were going to downsize.... Yeah. Not so much.
