Prem

I just sent a link of your thread to Chinese President Hu Jintao


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hu_Jintao


So that they can start to catch up with us :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Along with a copy of the Calif food & AG Code
So they can inspect them as they move from city to city , for any on board pests.

I'm in! Very cool :thumbsup: And another idea, the "bench" seat with storage underneath. Hell, I have one in one of my boats, but for some reason I never thought of putting it in a camper. There's not quite enough room in my current floor plan, but in my next one . . . :thinking: :twisted:

:M :M :M Every good road trip should begin with traveling music, I feel.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s, when we would hit the road in the bus conversion, I'd stick in a tape of Willie Nelson and the band playing On the Road Again.

Now, for the last couple of years, the road trip music is that old Robert Johnson song (Canned Heat made it famous) called Goin' Up the Country...but now by Kitty, Daisy and Louis. Check it out:

"custom, luxurious, rustic" Or something like that. 8-wide is cheating though. :lol: More like a mobile "home" than a tiny trailer or camper. Sure is nice though! :thumbsup: I could darn near live in that.

Iv been camping / building a B&P cabin in the Cariboo; using my Dickinson to keep warm; and my CT as shelter form the snow ... glad to hear you like your heater too; I thought it was spendy but have no regrets now and I think Im getting the money back in electrical and propane savings. ... snow stopped construction this season ...
