Looks like Northern California. But I could be completely wrong considering I'm Canadian and have never been there lol :lol:
I'm just going by the scenery and the trees. My second guess would be AZ, hence the username.

Both likely guesses, but I was hoping for something a little more specific. :lol:

Hi Camp4life. What about this location. Can you guess where this one is. It was where the Yogi Bear Movie was shot.

I'm partial to those Dakota trucks. The size can't be beat for boon docking.
Back when they made small 5th wheels for mini trucks , they could used for some serious RV camping.

That looks like an awesome place to spend a couple weeks and do some hiking and canoeing!

As with so many vehicles, I love the square style of the older versions of the SUVs. The new blob shaped vehicles are so hard for me to see out of. The Pilot has a classic look. Great tow vehicle I would think. does the back door swing out or up?

2016 Subaru Impreza. The American owner's manual says not recommended for towing but the Australian owners manual says I've got 2,800 lb towing capacity; I'm going with the Aussies

Hoping 2013 Kia Soul, again North American says nothing about towing, but UK and Auzzie says good for 2200lbs. Back up vehicle is 2011 Ford Ranger 4x4 extended cab V6

A good choice, Kia Soul often wins tow vehicle of the Year Awards in Europe within their class and size
