"Hello"

I grew up surrounded by nature, fishing, hunting, and camping with my family. In my teenage years, I shared these experiences with friends, often backpacking and sleeping under the stars.

After getting married and having a daughter, we continued my love for tent camping, eventually upgrading to a pop-up camper. As our family grew, with two dogs and my daughter's friends joining us, we transitioned to a Class C motor-home.

Despite enjoying the motor-home, I missed the simplicity and outdoor feel of our pop-up. With my recent switch to an Eco-friendly EV, I faced a dilemma: should I return to a gas-guzzling truck to tow a pop-up camper, or should I leverage my 20+ years in engineering to design a solution tailored for my EV?

I began by using what I had on hand and a modest budget to test my concept. I created a unique setup from an old trailer and a budget rooftop tent, which was a fun learning experience. I soon realized that my creation could meet the needs of others seeking Eco-friendly camping solutions, leading to the Earth First Camper design, build, and test adventure, and the resulting "TAG-ALONG" rooftop tent camping platform.
