So yeah im taking my maxima camping.Has anyone taken there car camping before? Do you think it will be ok to.Its not that bad of a drive. Not to bumpy or anything to worry about.Feed back would be awesome.thanks

 

Most people take their dogs camping, not their cars.

 

really i never take my dog camping bet he feels left out..but it would also be to hard to carry all my camping supplies and the passengers on a dog..Weird

 

2" sprint springs on tokico illuminas set 5/5... 17x7.5 lightweight wheels with 235/45 super duper sticky summer tires... yeah, you'll be ok car camping as long as the trail/path isn't too rough. I scraped quite a few times though, and I wasn't even carrying much.

Oh, if you're using the car to store food from bears, make sure u got some good rubber seals around doors/trunk. I was told bears can sniff through some car doors and trunks.

I've never brought an cig lighter > AC converter, but I can see it might be useful for little things to power.

Alright thanks for the info.That would suck if a bear attacked my car.Would be a interesting story to tell.

 

I talked to 1 family once who told me the story of his suburban being checked out. Paw prints and scratches along the top left corner of his front passenger door. I hope he wasn't pulling my chain, but here in CA, there's still bear sightings in and around car campgrounds.

My KOA membership's about to expire... not sure if I want to renew cuz I only used it once last year. I like the "$10/car" type places anyways.

Why wouldnt the max be ok on a camping trip? Dont go rock crawling cause you'll damage the **** out of the underside, but other than that I dont you'd have any problems... I've taken my car on some really bad roads and it did fine - 6" (iirc) of ground clearence helps lol. I guess I could say Im the resident off-roader haha

 

LeVeL: what springs are you on? Do you have RSB? LTB? Wheel/tire combo? Super sticky summer tires on dirt/sand is kinda scary, esp w/o LSD. Was scared at several points. But you're right, if you've got stock w/ all seasons, should be fine.
Dr J

 

Yep, all stock with all seasons. Got LSD too

 

Do you not have any friends with trucks??? Just going camping shouldnt be bad, but if you decide to take it through the woods, i would suggest not. Its a family 4 door car, not a off road vehicle!!!!!! Great post by the way
