Title: A different kind of car show
Post by: Rattiac on May 23, 2021, 10:36:32 AM
Yesterday I went to a different kind of car show.
It was Hinkley Overlanding Off Road only expo. It was free so I entered the jeep and trailer.
Lots of different camping set ups,  mostly rooftop tents.  I had the only cargo conversion trailer but it got a lot of attention.  Women especially liked the sink/ porta potty and that you could stand inside.
Here's a few pics.

The spread of our interests in automotive endeavors is so wide! Speciality vehicles amaze me. Some cool stuff there. My son is building some equipment for a company in Reno that make wool insulation for RV campers and trailers. There must be a demand for thin high R rated insulation.  8)

While checking out some riveting videos and ran across one of these old jeeps doing come pretty serious 4 wheeling.

Nice Rattiac. I ran across one of those type shows near Branson Mo. many years ago. Off trail campers and rigs, mostly home built stuff. Some very inventive usefull stuff.

Sixball, having owned many old flat fenders....cool. Yep, slow, simple and steady they will go places you wouldn"t think possible.  Boy that gal is very trail capable. Couldn't tell if that red Jeep had an engine knock or twisted where the fan blade was clicking on the shroud. I've had both! 😁

She cleans up real well! And pretty too. 😁 I hadn't a clue either, just looked like a farm girl.
