Put some drawers on the left and some doors and I'll be feeling good,
Also plan to put a front cabinet to hold the A/C at floor level on the front.
All by the Ribberfest which is coming up real fast :dancing

Scott, I like the stove drawer and gas bottle storage. Much more convenient than my having to set up a table for the stove.

Hey Kurt ::::

Are we on concrete ,blacktop ,or gravel in madison. I am asking for 2 reasons 1st A/C I may have to retro my wood stove neich for a small A/C unit Vickie goes south like a wilted house plant in the heat. The 2nd is my new changing room I can anchor the curtain to stakes in gravel but I will need to sew up a few sand bag type weights otherwise.

And I'll throw in a question for you also Kurt.
is there water at each site or a central water hydrant like at the state parks?

Great use of the galley! I'm a thinker/planner and I can recognize a good plan. Enjoy!

Bob there is an asphalt strip for the sites. The asphalt is surrounded by a gravel/grass turf.
I have had some trouble staking down things along the gravel/grass area (with plastic stakes) but I find that if I tie the canopy or side room to the trailer on one side, I can usually stake down on the other side.

Scott, each site has its own water and electric hookup. There should be plenty of electricl hook ups even it we double up on some sites.

BTW, I'm getting my ruptured disc looked at on Monday (21st) to see if surgery is needed to relieve the leg cramping and pain I've been enjoying.
This is the same thing that "attacked" me at Spring Mill a few years ago.

Non-Surgery was opted for at the doctor's recommendation and eventually it healed up so that I've had no problem for about two years, but this time it's not doing so well. :(

I just want to get it fixed so I can enjoy camping again. :worship: :thumbsup:

I'll keep you informed.

The "Bag" weights do work well too. :thumbsup:

I've even used 2 liter pop bottles or a (1.75 L) Vodka bottle to help hold down the canopy. :applause:
