This was just after leaving camp (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Jn5LPM2E6ep3xqFv9)
Configuration for this trip was leaving the hitch mounted tire rack at home and store the spare flat in the back, strapped down, of course. Then lift it out for the night. Cook on the...
Relatively close to the Bay Area, and convenient superchargers (Williams and Upper Lake).
Some stats, for those who wonder

If you are like me and replace at 4/32, maybe I could get one of your old ones? Or if you have an odd one for another reason (at a good price)
This is for you if you want to sleep in the car (2 people) and also have a full size spare inside. It's involved as it requires removing the second row and DIY a bed frame. If you are ok with a full size spare on the hitch or roof, this likely not worth it. If you just want to remove the second...
