Thanks for reminding me why I'm not a real estate agent or a multi-millionaire. :lol:

I become more and more of a minimalist every year. :thumbsup:

I think that saying has finally reprogrammed my subconscious completely:

"I've done so much with so little for so long that I can now do almost anything with almost nothing."

:dancing :M :wink:




Prem -

Jerry,

Precisely :EXP :hammer:


P.S. I just gave lots of trailer stuff to my friend, including a chassis. It's his first build. The weight off my shoulders was considerable. Now once a week I go over to his place to play consultant.
:D

"Carbo-trailer?"

I like that bubba door. I suppose that also allows it to double as a mini-cargo trailer, huh? :thinking:

:thinking: Yeah, I haven't lived in California in decades, although I sure would like to move back there for the Sierras, Yosemite and Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. I would only do it for the summers though, and only if living in an RV. Maybe something like these. I'd replace the suitcases with a cooler: :beer:

Better bring something like this, it almost costs $50 per night camping in those places, ONLY City parks are free during day time at this point,
or the homeless junk mobile picture you posted - they are welcome everywhere :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Still quite a few free places to park a trailer in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Some even have picnic tables, shelters, and/or fire rings. In Montana, the state Parks and Wildlife areas generally only charge $7 a night.

These are all freebies I visit annually, next to some great dry fly fishing.

Very clean looking. But, one has to wonder what the weight would be with the fiberglass const. Bet they'd be warm though! And cooler in the summer with a/c. Website is dated 2010, and no specs, so maybe the idea didn't take off?
