+1000!! No way.

I suppose it depends what you are planning to tow. Oh. And for the record, never have I claimed to be in my right mind. I have been there a couple times and it was always boring. :).





This shot is good for seeing the battery and dometic fridge. The fridge has a weather cover over it for travel. Without the Kayak it comes in at under or around 500 pounds.



We set it up as a temporary guest house in the yard once and I took a picture with the solar panel out.


We made the battery pack from a battery box and an AGM battery as well as a few other widgets for connecting.



And a top down.



If you are going to cut a hole in the rear panel it will end up looking like this if you get the little cover.



This little setup has added a whole new dimension to the full time lifestyle.

Having seen some of the trailers designed for motorcycles, etc...they do offer some improvement over sleeping in a tent. Very limited storage space. No idea what they cost, but may not be equal to the usability.
