Hi, I'm Tristan. I travel and camp a lot in my SUVs, a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser and a 2011 Toyota RAV4. For me, SUVs are the perfect adventure vehicle. I'm based in SW Wyoming and go on trips from there. I'm married and have a house but sleep/camp in my SUVs about 70+ nights per year.

My travels mostly revolve around exploring the mountains and deserts of the western US.

I write a blog about SUV RVing over at suvrving.com, and I wrote a book all about SUV RVing, which you can buy on Amazon at amzn.to/3Wxszp5. The book has tons of great information for vandwellers and even RVers, too! I post a new video every Saturday morning at 7 am (Mountain Time) and occasionally on Tuesday mornings, too.

I have a site where you can access a map of most of my campsites: adventureknowhow.com

Want to send me a postcard or something? Here you go:

I'll be recording a Q&A video in the next couple of weeks, and it'll go live at the start of the new year. Leave a comment on this post with any questions you've got, and I'll try to answer then in the video. Thanks! -Tristan

As you may have seen in yesterday's video, the RAV4 was totaled after I hit a deer in Canada. What should I replace it with??

Which cheap Harbor Freight carrier would you like to see me buy and test out? The hitch carrier or the roof basket?

I made a brief appearance in Erik's most recent video! You might remember that I made a video a couple years ago of him living in his teardrop trailer full-time, and he's since gotten rid of the trailer and gone to just his Subaru Forester. Check out his latest video here >> https://youtu.be/x_EL1lgwyyE

Merry Christmas!! We woke up to a white Christmas and had a cozy morning opening presents with my mom, who's spent the last few days with us. Happy holidays to everyone!

I'll be attending Overland Expo Mountain West tomorrow (Saturday, August 24th) in Loveland, CO. This will be my first time at any Overland Expo event, so I'll just be wandering around and filming whatever looks interesting. Say hi if you see me! (Oh, and I'll have SUV RVing stickers to hand out 😁)

I met up with ‪@TheOverlanderNextdoor‬ in January and filmed a tour of her FJ Cruiser and military camper. That video won't be out for another couple months, but her FJ just broke down last week. She lives on the road full-time and has been doing DoorDash as income, but that's now impossible with a totaled vehicle. Her GoFundMe funds will now be going toward her new rig: www.gofundme.com/f/fj-cruiser-needs-major-repairs-…
