Sid n Side's latest project.... a 5x10 ..... It maybe ready by the LCGIII.

We're headed out tomorrow for "Ribberfest" in Madison, IN with the Hoosier Chapter. Really looking forward to meeting those folks.

The Volun'tear Chapter here in Tennessee has it's first gathering at Old Stone Fort State Park the 12-14 of September.

Then it's Cloudland Canyon with Marvin and the Georgia Chapter in October.

We'll wrap it all up for the long trips of the year at the LCGIII.

See ya'll down the road.......

That looks great. When you say 5 X 10. Is 10' the length of the trailer or is it the size of the tear?

That's the size of the tear from tip to tip, so the base of the trailer is somewhat shorter at around 8'8". plus the tongue.

Looks like you'll have it campable by LCGIII. Looks good. :applause: :applause: :applause:
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Thanks Tony,

If not, we'll be there in the DragonFly.

Looking forward to one of your famous margaritas. We are coming down on Thursday now. We figured since it was such a long drive, we'd just make a long stay. We'll leave there on Monday.

So 5 tall and 10 long correct. I love the design. Is this considered a Mondernaire design like 2 bits?

10 long, 5 wide, and 4 tall..... It is pretty close to the Modernaire profile.

Good grief Mark. I didn't realize that you had this under construction. Wished I had taken the opportunity to talk to you more at Madison. Very cool build. And thanks again for coming to Indiana. :thumbsup:

Thanks for your hospitality. It was one of the best gatherings Pat and I have been at. I'm still full from breakfast this morning! :lol:

As Pat says, having another build keeps me off the streets, and she always knows where to find me.....
