If you go, Alexander Springs or Juniper Springs are nicer improved campgrounds more on par with a Florida State park, except no hookups.

Made myself a note. Thanks!

Hey Don,
I just now finally got back around here to check on you. Sounds like you've had a few adventures recently. Had a little run in with old man winter did ya? He'll keep 'ya on your toes for sure. Luckily we only get about 6 months of the sub zero stuff every year. But it is hard on equipment and people. The longer you live with it the better you get at it and you just kind of operate in that mode all the time. If you survive it. But it's not boring, everything is a challange. Glad you survived it. I got a chuckle from you turning tail and heading south in such a hurry. But I don't blame 'ya.
I'll check in again soon.

Hey, I've been reading through your posts, but haven't found it. Where did you get the round window you put on the back door?

I bought it for another build a few years ago and never used it. It is a Van window and I found it on Ebay.

Wow... good to hear from you McDave. Tommy and I are actually camping in ONF tonight and roughing it in 50F LOL. He was just asking if I ever hear from you on TNTTT. Yes... learnt a few things on the recent trip out West. I hope all is well with you. I decided to retire in July 2020 (mostly LOL) and now I am taking this adventure stuff more seriously! :) :)

Hey Don,
Say hello to Tommy for me. I was just thinking about him the other day! Well you know, great minds and all..... Great to hear y'all are still having fun in the sun. I've been semi-retired for some time now. Thats when you still work a bunch, but you just don't get paid. In fact I've never worked so much in my life. Might have to get a job and get some rest!
Question; Don, do you still have your flagship trailer? I hope so. That was some kind of special rig. I see you use your new one more like I do. It's mostly just me and the scooter so it is plenty nice for us. If the wife does come along, it just smells a little nicer, which is nice. :D
Hey, love you guys. Great to hear from ya. Take care of each other and I'll check in again soon.

Good to hear from you as well. I'll let Tommy know you said hello.

Yes, I still have the 7x18. I use that for when my wife wants to go with me, or if I am going up to Bike Week or etc. where I have the Victory Kingpin on board. It is just easier with the larger trailer and ramp door.

The 6x12 is for me and my dirtbikes... oh and Lexus. It is much more agile and I can get to more places with it.

Take care and stay in touch. I hope you are taking some time to smell the roses and ride! Enjoy.


In the back yard they sit. ;-)

I've actually been looking into an e-bike kit for my mountain bike as well. Did you piece this one together or did you buy a kit? How do you like its performance so far? I'm just looking for something to get me back and forth to work a little quicker and less sweaty lol!

It was a kit. In this case, I already had the bike. The following video will give you the details.

I think I found the solution for pulling my motorcycle into the CTC backwards. Looks like it will be a portable mount so as to be removed and put away when not in use.

If your tank vent concept does not pan out, you can use a SS marine fuel tank vent up high in the side wall. I too did not want another hole in the roof.

Works fantastic. Cant rain or leak in (if it does, I'll have to add a bilge pump, lol)
