Wowie zowie, Don! You two have got this down to a science, and in such a totally smart style.

The whole package is just nothing short of amazing.

P.S. The red covers look smashing on the silver too - like painted toenails...so understated, so chic.

Have a great trip.

I'm curious. What's it like pulling your camper on the highway? Have you experienced any good crosswinds? How much of a hit on your MPGs?

I've never pulled any kind of trailer with any kind of vehicle. I'm intrigued through!

Very nice setup!

THAT LOOKS GREAT DONNY!!

I bet you got LOTS of double takes with the setup and spent plenty of time talking to people this weekend.

NCC - **This is calling you!!** I'll even go pick it up with you. I want it for myself so bad I can taste it. The wife would never go for it because of it being a tent and all those knife wielding crazed lunatics slashing people in their tents at the campgrounds. I'm sure I can get you a serious deal on the hitch too then match it up to a color scheme close to your car - 10% above cost which is a bit cheaper than online...substantially. OK, trying to talk you into it - I have a habit of that when I want something for myself I can't get...sorry.

Donny - once again...that is cool!!! Thanks for finally getting those pics up. I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for them! (no sarcasm intended there either) Was it a comfortable sleep? Nice to see the bolt/nut cover profits went to great use.

more camp trips coming up, next week 5/16,17 big bear, next month green valley, and july will be lake arrowhead. these are located in the san bernadino mtns 6-8000 ft altitude. reservations are in. i found a yellow tarp and a black spider-web cargo net for the top of the trailer gear. youd have to see the trailer pics in the gallery to understand the yellow thing. and a battery cpap. and im taking a small battery dvd player that can recharge from the smart. i put in a 12 socket in the back wired and fused directly to the battery.
we should start a smart camper club. :-)
im blessed with having a hard time posting pics but i will try when i get back 5/17.

That's because they're thinking, "Look at the little car with that GIANT yellow ice chest it's towing. That'll hold a lot of beer! Wonder where they'll sleep though?".

Folks have to be amazed after they see you come in, and then see that monster tent set up next to your car.

Nice steaks.
