Bet the owner never travels much. Those pencils and pens will be all over the place.

Mine hasn't moved since the last gathering I went to in July. It's got two easels set up in it now, bright new LEDs and a new skylight overhead. Love my CT! Every year it gets a little bit better.

I have a CCrane Radio. Works great! Highly recommended for camping in the boonies. Takes D cell batteries or plug in to 120V inverter. It pulls in AM, TV audio and short wave from far, far away. (Got one not working on ebay for $20 and one working but covered with house paint at the salvage Goodwill for $5. Made one that looked like new and works. Sent it in for a new back light.)

P.S. I also have the little one, but it's a toy compared to the big one

CCrane even repairs your radio if anything goes wrong. Amazing service. Little town business. They also have antennas for distant WiFi.

:thinking: We need a new category. This is no toy hauler.

Lottery winner? The trailer has a dolly axle up front.

Engineer Guy,

Yeah. I chose not to get into a dogmatic fight over anything, including optimal trailer wall insulation. I know from experience (learned the hard way). See my previous post on the Green Foam.

I dooze love thinking out of the Box.


Yeah. That's why I post the photos of all the wild stuff.

BTW, that's a mighty awesome photo you posted of your truck and trailer in CO :EXP

Welcome back bro.

:wine: (my vice was soda--high fructose corn syrup poison--but i quit and i'm down 17 pounds. Walked across northern spain all spring and drank roman-era, organic, farm wine...tempranillo. Now, in USA, only drink Naked Wine cuz itz got no fructose added. https://us.nakedwines.com/)

:thumbsup: I posted about these previously (way back in this thread). I put them on three sides of my CT. They work to save fuel at highway speeds AND they improve stability on cargo trailers, especially when passing or being passed by a large vehicle:

And I have had the link saved for awhile now. Something to consider after the essentials are added.
