Default dan888...got any Grey Poupon?

Dan, haven't seen you posting or anywhere around recently, but I couldn't let my luxurious digs on this year's Utah trip go without some horn tooting. It was just a little bit more comfy and convenient than my usual van and motorcycle trailer accomodations.

I tell ya...it was tough, but I survived the wilderness...just barely.

Dan -
What have you been up to if you're just checking in once in a while? Riding the wheels off?

Thad - Does that new unit beat sleeping in a van down by the river? I really like those units. Any pics of inside?

I wish I was riding the wheels off it Scott. Sad thing is, last weekend was my first real day of riding this year. Busy with other things, and don't worry Thad has pics of the inside for sure

Oddly, not so many pics...I think three...too busy riding or drinking tequila.

But here they are. This isn't the configuration I ended up using as the trip wore on. I ended up with the table strapped over to the driver's side of trailer with it long ways to the side of the trailer. I was also able to have the bike in the trailer but leaned close over to the non-driver side of the trailer. In this setup I could have the bike in the trailer pretty much out of the way and keep my chair and table in place with plenty of room. In these pics the bike is in its tranport location with the tie downs in place. For just camping I usually left the bike outside, but if rain or departure in the AM was going to occur, having it leaned against the wall was an easy deal. The open/vehicle area is 12' long, 8' wide...huge for just one bike. The rear has some OEM bed and table stuff if you have more people, but I just unbolted that stuff and put it in the shop. My wife and I like the open area and larger more comfortable recliner type camping chairs than the factory stuff. You can position yourself more comfortably to watch TV on the swingout mount.

The bed, bathroom, and shower area are roomy. The hauler is classified as a 26-footer, but the actual living box is more like 24'. For one person or two when the wife is along, the living area is huge.

Yup, life gets in the way sometime. On my bright side, my youngest is graduating from HS in one week. Now if he would just get a job

Two pieces of Neil Cavtuto level of financial advice: (1)Stay married to the same woman for 41 years. (2)Don't have kids. You save an amazing amount of money over time even on a moderate income...LOL!
