Camping with your Gladiator

[Eventyr_JT]

Very cool! How has the soft topper been?

It’s my second Softopper - had one on a Dodge Dakota. Easy setup, easy to put down and remove, waterproof, looks like factory fabric.

Cabins, WV and Crossville, TN

So many variations and they are all amazing!

Man you pulled that thing down the hwy? Talk about tail waggin the dog!

Actually very stable... I have a Pro-pride hitch that totally eliminates sway, mimicking a 5th wheel setup. Hard to explain unless you have experience with the difference between traditional hitch and a pro-pride or hensley hitch, but there's really no comparison.

First trip this season.

The pinstriping was an unexpected bonus (temporary) as was the chunk out of the left fender (permanent). Battle scars.

Whats the loaded weight of the rig? I have a 38' 5th wheel that the F450 pulls, but looking at a small 20' or similar to pull behind the Gladiator for weekend runs
Is the Pro-pride/Hensley a weight distributing hitch

took a run to the Grand Canyon week before last. This set up is great, both on road and in camp.

Where is that? Western CO? Utah?

First trip with the truck from Bozeman -> Flagstaff via Moab, and picking up the OVRLND camper.


On the way south near Utah Lake:

On the way back north near Canyon of the Ancients (Cortez, CO), went through a crazy rain storm first night in the OVRLND, slept wonderfully:

Outside of Moab:

Apparently mine is only the 2nd Gladiator they did, you can check out OVRLND's instagram to see it on a more "built" rig too. Loving it, definitely beats the minimalist climbing shelter I used on the way to Flagstaff

That’s awesome. My buddy is getting his in a couple months. Going on a Ram 2500 Mega Cab.

Nice, he won't notice it at all on a 2500, and whatever bed size he has that thing is going to be palatial inside. I can't believe how big it made my 5' bed feel, even just for hauling.
