one again wife proves she's smarter than me

[Mote]

I hate to admit that sometimes I overlook the obvious solutions. In a couple of weeks we are going to Turkey Run state park which has a nice area for Kayaks. We bought three 10' Kayaks from Menards this spring and are pretty excited about taking them out. I was going to borrow a 10 foot utility trailer from the in-laws. Build some racks out of wood to haul the kayaks on top and the bicycles on the bottom. Was telling my wife about all my grand plans and showing her my design for the racks when she ask "why not just take our trailer?". We have a small 12' single axle enclosed trailer.
Well duh, why didn't I think of that. I can just put everything inside and roll. No extra racks, or having to worry about things flying off going down the interstate.
Sometimes it takes a good woman to remind me to not make things so complicated.

Well, I never claimed genuine "techiness" only a desire to struggle valiantly to keep up with electronics we use so universally, now.

oldtrojan, X2 what you said. I'm almost 75 and a few months ago I got a "Smart Phone", now there is something beyond me. I asked my 13 year old DGS a question or two about what do I tap on the screen to do what I want to do on my phone which he had never seen and he did some magic things and said, "GDude, technically you don't tap the screen, you touch and drag". Who knew.

Mote you said a mouthful, wives are good for keeping us humble.

I think all TC Owners probably have an enclosed trailer to haul all of the things that don't fit inside the truck camper...

I have seen a few Truck Campers with the KAYAKS installed standing up on the back of the TC. 10-foot KAYAKS however is probably getting close to being over the 13.6 feet overall height


Over the years I always wanted to get the Truck Camper for my style of OFF-ROAD camping but losing all of extra storage space using my OFF-ROAD POPUP front deck and the Bed of my truck always kept me away from a TRUCK CAMPER.
