Incomplete Sketchup Drawing, but you get the idea!

Postby MSohlberg » Wed Oct 15, 2008 12:10 pm

Ok guys, I have been playing with Sketchup in my free time. Pretty interesting. Anywho, here is what I have so far. Image

Yes the green thing is supposed to be a Pet Cool. If I knew where the trucks drove, I would probably have to go fast and fruious on them, because of the cost.

I have not decided on galley layout yet, thats why there isn't one in the drawing. However I have decided on my next vehicle. Honda Ridgeline, it should have no problems towing anything that I can cobble together.

Image to the playground. Sketchup looks good. The axle might be a bit far forward. Check you weights (approximates) as you get your plan further along.

Keep the pictures coming---keeps that bubble centered and the bubble oil level.

That Petcool looks kinda small...

How wide is your trailer?

I knew that the whole "scale" thing would come out sometime. I know the "pet cool" looks small, I got frustrated after spending a total of 9 hrs trying to get it to look right.

If you want to know the lethal radious of various explosives, I am sure that I can help, but getting the scale right on sketchup not so much....

I tried to find some actual dimensions of the pet cool to help plan, but I am having trouble trying to things to line up right. I may go back to pencil an paper, its a bit easier.

Hey Man
Welcome to the site and THANK YOU for your time in Iraq.
I have a Ridgeline and it tows the TD with ease. You should be very pleased with your Ridgeline. I have 134000 miles with no problems so far.
Again THANK YOU for your service.

I had a Ridgeline before I got here. Its a funny stroy, about two weeks after we got here my wife sent me an email telling me it was gone. I was not all that upset, it was a Lease anyway.

So after looking at lots of competition I just decided that it would be easier to just get what I had, NO lease this time though. Thats what I do with my time here look at cars and read the forum. You would be surprised what your tax dollars are spent on.
