Leaving the RV Behind: Our First Night in Roof Top Tents

This video marks a big change for the Happy Motoring crew! After years of RV and motorhome camping, we’re finally testing out the world of overlanding with our first night in roof top tents at Sand Lake, Oregon. It was like Christmas morning for the whole group as we unboxed and set up four different tents, including the iKamper and a few others from the gang. But it wasn't all just camping—we took the rigs out to the dunes for some January sand-wheeling, tackled Toyota Hill, and even had a Jeep vs. Toyota showdown. In this episode: ⛺ The Big Switch: Why we’re trying out roof top tents after a lifetime of RVing. 🚙 Dune Action: Taking the 4Runners and the Jeep out to Sand Lake in the middle of winter. 🧗 Toyota Hill: Watching the crew tackle the steep climbs (and seeing who made it to the top!). ❄️ January Camping: How the tents held up during a cold Oregon winter night. 🍳 Camp Life: Good food, great friends, and the reality of the "overland" setup. Whether you're a seasoned overlander or just curious about making the switch from a trailer to a tent, come along for the ride!
