And by camping I mean going out in the woods, pitching a tent (on the ground, not attached to the truck), building a campfire, and sleeping in a sleeping bag tucked away in the tent.

I will be using my dads 4 wd extended cab S10 with a cap on it. I planned on doing dispersed camping and sleeping in the back of the truck in lieu of using a tent. My gear and food will be in the back with me while sleeping. The cap locks and the windows are tinted so bears would not be able to see in. My question is should I be concerned about a bear attempting to break in the back of the truck while I am sleeping to get at my food ? I will be camping at about 7000-8000 ft. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks.

Fun, as in a convertible top, or sporty lines with good acceleration. I drive to the lake on weekends and take my dog and wife too sometimes to go sailing, so a two seater is out. I hitch up the sailboat and then back it down to a lake, so I don’t usually drive far with the boat. I will use the car for daily commute. I also go camping and need enough room for a 45 lb canvas tent and gear. The inside needs to be able to hold up to the muddiness that comes with putting a sailboat in and out of the water. Seats should be able to handle rough use of a 50 lb dog. I’m 6′-3″ tall and need lots of leg room and head room.
Good gas mileage and reliabilty would be good. I do my paintings from nature, so I may travel a few hours into Arkansas mountains and camp and paint. My paintings probably won’t exceed 3′ long. Here’s the list I’m considering:

1. VW GTI (It looks like a Golf/Rabbit, but has lot more speed) hatchack, tons of headroom, legroom, good storage, good MPG, fairly reliable
2. Honda Element- I could even sleep in it, super reliable, not sure about acceleration, haven’t driven one yet.
3. Subaru Forester- Great all around, dependable, but doesn’t seem very sporty or fun compared to some others. Average acceleration.
4. VW Beetle convertible, or hatchback, fun car, great head room, small storage, average to poor reliability.
5. Toyota Highlander- very reliable, spacious, good for towing, not particularly sporty though, average MPG.
6. BMW Z3 and other roadsters- very sporty, but no back seat, no can do.
7. VW Jetta TDI wagon- No thrills, but amazing gas mileage, good storage.
8. Saab 9-3 convertible- sporty, but not much storage room for tent.
9. Scion Xb- good storage, not very outdoorsy, more of an urban car.
10. Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV 4, my wife has a CR-V already….. but she doesn’t want me taking it to the lake and getting it full of sand and mud. Would like something sportier or more fun.

Any suggestions? Happy New Year!

Not interested in a motor home- been there and done that- but want to bring a large quantity of clothes of all types, shorts, suits, etc. Daily travel will be generally short, less than 100 miles. Will usually stay in hotels/motels but also want to bring a camp stove, cooler, tent and related gear. There will be two people traveling. I’ve looked at vans, SUVs, minivans, and sedans without reaching a conclusion. Anyone done this? Any suggestions?
