I'm thinking of taking up camping and dispersed camping could be a money saver.

My wife has no interest in sleeping on the ground but I just found out a few days ago that tents that attach to a SUV, crossover, van or pickup are widely available. They range in price from less then $100 to $300 or more. Nice thing about many of them is that they are designed to be quickly unattached from the vehicle and can act as a stand alone while one is off with the vehicle doing things and then reattach when you return.

With the expandable roof cargo container I have, I imagine my wife and i could go camping on the cheap (once initial needed items are purchased) for extended times.

Maybe this spring I'll get some topographical maps of the national forests in my area and then drive around to check out possible camping sites after studying the maps.
