Here is a pic with bolt tags at spots it will be bolted down.

The bolts will be to the left of the tags,I also prestressed the frame an 1/8 inch from side to side to keep the center pulled up with out having bolts in the middle of the floor.
Where the nose hits the floor there is a 2by 4 across the box to help stiffen it ,same in the rear,(inside the box,
It pulled down well ,and also the 2 by 3 11 gauge tubing is extremley stiff

This has been a good and bad day ,it rained all day so I didnt get anything done to the tepee,but with the hard driving rain and blowing wind and the tepee sitting out in the weather she got a good leak test and passed with flying colors.

Well I took a few days off. I needed to add to my camping gear and a way to carry materials and my yak ,so here is what I have been doing.

Now I need to pad the top bars and load the yak.

This should work well while pulling the Tepee and carring the yaks

Next month I have a wooden boat show that I am going to and will also be camping in the Tepee.

You had me worried there for a minute. I didn't know how you were going to load a yak on that thing. :lol:

Ron, No problem, get well soon and then get to camping!

We have enjoyed many trips to Martin Dies Jr State Park (on 190 between Jasper and Woodville). A great park with lots of shade.

I broke the Tepee in this weekend.
I will fill in the gaps tomorrow .

I averaged 17 miles to the gallons with two kayaks on top of the high rack and pulling the trailer.
