Don't impregnate a relative while you are there.

What do people wear camping? Body odor scented cologne?

I’d start with what @rage2 wears to a nice restaurant. Maybe dress it up from there.

Well you certainly can't dress it down.

[Tik-Tok]

A flannel jacket is a 100% requirement.

Looks like I'll be filing a claim for hail damage on our trailer; picked it up from storage and it is golf ball'd after that early August hailstorm that hit Balzac/Airdre.

Any recommendations on good repair shops or dealers for this type of damage?

[killramos]

I just want to know how @Buster ‘s camping went.

I'm going, for the day, to meet some people who are camping.

That is all.

Fuck no. Don't do it.

Is it a tin trailer or fibreglass? If tin, I strongly strongly strongly reccomend taking the payout and NOT repairing anything that doesn't leak.

[suntan]

I'm never buying a tin trailer ever again.

Curious, were you at Extraslow's favorite storage place just south of cross iron?

Disgusting.

The “camper” (really just a means to get to mountain bike destinations) is nearing completion… the whole concept is 100% Buster approved, from the camping to the dogs and even the human powered mountain bikes



So far has:
Sleeping platform w/hinged areas (extra wheel well storage and access to full height bed use)
400w of solar on the roof
100ah LiFePO battery (not running much, will expand if needed)
LED lights
Cooler slideout
Kitchen slideout complete with sink and griddle (both slides function with mtb rack still in place)
Running water (PVC piping “tank” pressurized with compressor) for sink and outside shower

Still need to:

Finish kitchen drawers
UV tint windows
Insulate ceiling
Mount blackout blinds
Create ice powered “a/c” (main reason for this is for dog storage when we’re riding as dog friendly hotels or sitters is a major PITA)

[killramos]

That looks very very heavy

What in the world do you need 100 AH and 400 w for.. just the cooler?

[ercchry]

^^future proofing, but mostly for the fans for the A/C at the moment… the 400w kit was only marginally more and fits the full canopy roof… so why not?

Like for the slides? 500lbs load rating… for the truck? No, compared to towing something? Nope

That looks very heavy for the truck yes. All that wood. Metal slides. Whatever is in all of them. Passengers. Then you cantilever some bikes off the back.

I bet you your payload is fucked much worse than towing something.

Also your slide load rating does not factor in you nesting slides 3 deep lol

[Brent.ff]

as someone who has a tacoma with a popup in it, this thing is weightless in comparison (and is in a silverado?)..
