Since I bought my truck, I made one addition (a cap) and a few modifications to turn the bed space into a temporary "camper".  This is only temporary, more on the future in subsequent posts. For now, me and my Nissan Frontier are ready for mellow adventures.  It is nice to not worry about setting up a tent when camping, though do miss the head-space of my Sprinter van.  I did reuse the memory foam mattress from my van, but otherwise, just a mellow build to let me sleep comfortably in the bed of my truck, and have room to store some camping equipment.  It works, even if I hit my head pretty much every time I get into, and out of my bed.  Oh well.

Yes, new adventures await, in my new adventure vehicle.  As I mentioned earlier, I needed something more capable in a true adventure vehicle, something which could get me places where I couldn't get to in my Sprinter van, and get me back.  So, I bought a Nissan Frontier mid-sized pickup truck, SV 4x4, with a V6 engine and a 6 foot bed. I got the King Cab configuration so I could bet the bigger bed.  So far, great.  I had a Nissan Xterra in the past, so I know and like Nissan trucks, plus, a Frontier was less expensive than a Toyota Tacoma.  I also added a used cap to enclose the bed of the pickup.  In the short run, I built out the inside for camping/sleeping, and while I've hit my head on the roof the cap a bunch, it is working out pretty well.  So far, short adventures have been fun, but longer (much longer) adventures await, and I can't wait.  Nothing beats being on the road, visiting new and beautiful places, continuing to explore this amazing planet we all call home.
