The term overlanding makes me want to throwup. The wife and I are about to sell a 4runner and likely purchase a Tundra. We have a 3 year old and a 5 year old. My wife hunts as well. Recently I came across a guy at a trailhead with a Go Fast Camper (GFC) and upon taking a look at it, it was pretty sweet. Something that my family would use the crap out of and would make getting out pretty darn easy without having to tow anything. We live on the coast in CA and spend a ton of time in the Sierras as well as hunt throughout the west all year long (from spring bear to AZ OTC). My question is, have any of you guys had experience with a GFC or Vagabond style roof top tent? I looked at them online and was blown away by the wait time (a year +) and cost for essentially a shell with a sleeping pad. It did catch my eye though. And like I said, part of me is torn because they seem pretty bombproof, but I get tired of seeing all the toyotas with snorkels, gas cans, shovels etc that never leave a paved road. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with these? Im afraid if I do buy one it will be bad hunting karma and I wont harvest an animal for the next decade.
