My office on Friday afternoon....
« on: September 18, 2008, 10:40:20 PM »
I was in a Stanford U advanced project management class working towards my masters this past week, so I have to catch up on my real work.  We'd already planned to go camping nearby 1.5 hours away in the Cascade Mountains, so...have laptop, have office, will travel!  :aok









Here's a list of things I've done to her since bringing it home Late Aug:
(3) MaxxAir Roof Vents ($74)
Gen-Turi ($139)
Painted Trim ($40)
Installed tiling on floor ($130)
New tire cover ($30)
New Flatscreen TV ($375)
New Deep cycle battery ($80)
Smoke Alarm ($20)
CO2 detector ($20)
Robe Hooks ($5)


Yeah, brag brag. Loving life and I don't care. :)

Makes my popup look sad --very nice rip   :aok

The wife has been pushing me to rent one of those next summer, and take a trip out to the grand canyon and such with the young-uns..
Are they pretty easy to handle on the road?

The first thing I added to my motor home was a solar trickle charger.

You got the V10?

Great idea on the solar. We don't usually do alot of dry camping, so I've no justification for one *yet* ;)

This has the 460 ci. We got 10.5 miles to the gallon on Labor day week-end. Only 46,000 miles on it!  The best my F250HD 460ci got with the truck camper on it was 8.5 mpg. We're picking up an additional 16 ft of living space and 2 mpg with the new rig! Doing my part on conserving fuel!  :salute  :P

Diablox, LMAO! We have that song burned on a CD for the CD player ready to go!

In the end you should be thankful for those players like us who switch to try and help keep things even because our willingness to do so, helps a more selfish, I want it my way player, get to fly his latewar uber ride.
