Hi all,

I am doing some traveling to a camp site friday then sat and sun I will stay in town at a hotel. I am worried about the two bikes I am bringing. I have cables for the bikes but they may not even work to lock down the bikes in the bed of the truck ( they wont fit in the tie down holes). Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is to bring the bikes in the hotel room with me!

Thanks,




Is there a caravan that just has a bed in it?

Im wanting to go on a long road-trip. I dont want to camp and cant afford hotels/hostels. So i was thinking a caravan – but i dont need the sink, cooker, fridge, tv, etc. Is there a manufactured caravan that only has a bed in it? Or something like a minimalist caravan lol. Thanks!

I’m interested in taking an extended (months long) trip around the US without returning home until the end. Not interested in a motor home- been there and done that- but want to bring a large quantity of clothes of all types, shorts, suits, etc. Daily travel will be generally short, less than 100 miles. Will usually stay in hotels/motels but also want to bring a camp stove, cooler, tent and related gear. There will be two people traveling. I’ve looked at vans, SUVs, minivans, and sedans without reaching a conclusion. Anyone done this? Any suggestions?
