Rent. Ride.
Learn. Explore.

We're a husband-and-wife team who spend our weekends on the trail and in the toy hauler. We'll put you in a well-kept machine, teach you to run it safely, and show you where to go and how to camp when you get there.

Our story

Toop & Toop

We started riding and camping as a family and learned most of it the hard way: broken belts miles from camp, setting up in the dark, finding the good spots by trial and error.

TNT Expeditions is how we share that. We want more families out there, riding safely, keeping their machines and rigs in good shape, and finding places they'll come back to for years.

— Darrin & Polly

Questions

Do I need experience?

No. First-timers start with the safety briefing and an easy-rated ride. We'll match you to a route you're comfortable on.

Who can drive?

Drivers need a valid driver's license. Passenger age and size limits follow the manufacturer's guidelines for each machine.

What should I wear?

Closed-toe shoes, long pants and layers. Desert mornings are cold and afternoons are hot. We supply helmets and goggles.

What if the weather turns?

If wind or rain makes riding unsafe, we'll reschedule at no charge or refund your deposit.

Can I bring my own side-by-side?

Yes. Guided rides and training classes are open to owners. Bring it with a current California OHV sticker.

Do you teach RV maintenance on my rig?

Yes. Basecamp sessions can be on our toy hauler or on your own RV or trailer.
