This weekend I went to an REI Co-op store for the first time. Subaru was having an event in partnership with them, and we drive Subaru Outbacks, so I wanted to see what they had going on. When we got there, they had a Thule-brand tent strapped to the top of the Wilderness Outback! I had recently read a few articles about people car-camping with roof-top tents - so it was fun to see it set up, literally on top of the vehicle. They told us that the car can support 700 lbs and the specific tent they had strapped on top could support 600 lbs. Here are a couple of pictures so you can see.
I've been watching a lot of Instagrammers who are living and adventuring in their vans, busses, or RVs and have been interested in the logistics of such a life on the road. While our Middle States trip is not going to require us to live in our car, we will be living out of our vehicle as we go. The REI store has so many solutions for organization and compact storage! I haven't spent much time yet thinking about the logistics for packing so we don't have to fully unload and reload the car at each stop, or how to keep things situated that they are easily accessible along the way. And believe it or not, I haven't made my list of essentials to take yet.
If you have tips or hacks for long-distance car travel storage and organization, or a list of road-trip essentials to share, drop them in the comments!
