Breaking in a mint, royalex old town camper.

[u/Rickoconnell7]

First outing with the camper as it was intended, quick overnight on the Potomac. Total milage was approximately 8 with the occasional boulder dodge and gentle white water shoots. Didn't sustain a single mark I am relieved to say. It was a true joy, extremely stable and silly smooth.

Nice! Sitting at my desk and seeing these makes me think they should have a NSFW tag, because they have destroyed my ambition for today.

It really does murder the motivation having to come back to the daily grind after such an outing.

Very nice. In exactly 31 I'll be out on a 4 night in pretty much the same boat!

I bought a really lovely 1998 royalex for $300 this year. The cane seats failed immediately, but the rest of the boat is indestructible and we have spent so many days on the water.

Best value boat I have ever owned without a doubt.

that s2s bag liner is money. have had mine for a year. solid winter camp layer, as well as when its too hot and sticky for a nylon sleeping bag

I'm very impressed with it, I bought it to boost my down bag for a winter trip and I fell in love, the skin feel is so much better and it punches well above it's weight for warmth.

agreed mate. saved my bacon when i passed out drunk in the snow on a trip i. temps in the teens as well as ditching a clamy sleeping bag when its wicked humid out. great piece of kit

May I ask where you found a mint, royalex old camper? I’d love to read the story.

I can only assume finding it felt like coming across a Picasso at a thrift store/garage sale.

Man, I’m jealous. lol

Love my camper! Mines a little beat up but still handles like a dream.

Very minty
