Squidget Pop Top's first camping trip

[cracker39]

On October 17, 2011, I took the Pop Top on it's first camping trip. If you're interested in the results and photos, check out My Maiden Camping Trip.

Looks great and thanks for the pictures. They sort of inspire one to get moving and start camping.

Glad to see that your foamie roof top was a success and it looks like you had a pleasant maiden trip with the Squidget PT. ...Beautiful sunset and scenery pictures.

A couple questions:

How much does your new foamie roof weigh and do you have some sort of latch attached to ensure that it doesn't fly off in the wind when it is in the up position?

Can you share a couple pictures of your completed galley and sitting areas? I couldn't find any at your website.

Dale I saw your pictures were copywrited so I removed it from my computer I didn't mean to infringe.

nice build and nice pictures.

Pete, my plans photos are copyrighted to try to keep someone from re-selling them. You're welcome to use my scenery photos on your PC if you want to.

Sharon, the top with the Fantastic fan/ven installed weighs just 31 lbs, easy for me to lift one end at a time with one hand. I just use a simple screen door hook and eye on each end to keep the top in place. I don’t think anything short of a tornado would rip out the hook or eye. The hook and eye also keep one lifted end of the top secured to the end panel while I lift up the other end.

I could select some photos to put in the album, but they don’t do the justice that my video does in showing the interior, including making the couch into a bed. You can skip through the exterior part (about the first 70% of the video) and get right to the interior if you want to. Also, photos inside just can't capture the roominess of the interior without a really wide angle lens, so I didn't try to. The video is at This link. (NOTE: This is a sales video and is not posted here for the purpose of selling plans, but only to provide an overview of my trailer for anyone interested in watching the video.)

Wonderful video, Dale! You have a nicely thought-out, efficient trailer and it's good looking, too! Thanks for the video and information.
