In a lot of ways, mine is just a small step up from tent camping. Just add wheels, a car stereo for entertainment, a fan for ventilation, lighting, and a heater for the cold nights and you're there. Not much worth stealing. With that said, if you touch it I'll be forced to hurt you... :o

After the last trip up to Yosemite, the wife and I have been forced to stay put. Between our work schedules and her having a total knee replacement we haven't been able to take the Road Foamie out. That gives me a chance to work on some "improvements" I've ordered a rock guard for the nose. It's not really an issue of picking up rocks, it's more about hiding that ugly seam where I didn't do a good job of gluing down the layers. I also ordered some lemon yellow striping tape that I will lay down as GPW showed me. I opted for lemon yellow instead of the red. My 'artistic freedom" :lol: :lol: I also changed out the wheels. I'm hoping it all arrives during the week so I can work on putting everything in place over the weekend. Also gotta get the beer tap working. I've got all the pieces, it's just a matter of putting it together. Then I have to brew some more beer. Funny, the neighbors seem thirstier this time of the year. I keep running out! :shock: :lol: :D Anyway, hope to have pics posted by Sunday. Stay tuned!!!

One of the easiest ways to start a fire when you're camping is to install a Dometic fridge... :lol: :lol:
