New guy in Jax FL

Glad to be aboard.
Giving serious consideration to building an off road teardrop style camper to pull behind this.

Not sure exactly what I'm gonna build but know as an old guy I'm ready for more comfort than just a tent.

Welcome! I live in SW FL. You have the luxury of waiting until after summer to start building- after all your research is done. Don't rule out buying a project or completed camper, which you can modify as needed. it may be cheaper and faster to do that.

Welcome from another in Florida! Nice looking tow vehicle and you'll find some serious off-road ready campers both here and on expedition portal. Only thing I've found in building one is that you always start thinking "...hmmm, on my next one I might do this..."
