I grew up with our family going camping every weekend. Now, we occassionally camp in a tent, but more and more we camp at Marriott!

Nick, our last trip, I had my tent and sleeping bags blow into the lake. Luckily, a good samaritan saw it blow in and retrieved it for us before it ended up on the other side of Lake Powell. They were rewarded with our camp site as we were leaving.

This our new rig: (We hike 34 miles across the plains of Wyoming with the youth in our area in a re-enactment of the pioneers with a handcart)

No! Not the Z!

Never camped at a hotel. There's no way I could sleep with my boat out in the parking lot all night.

There's that karma thing again.

Why? ( Really no need to answer that one, I'll still be )

Nick,

We really don't get into freezing temps all that much but I do plan to
drain all the tanks when storing and if low temps are in the forecast then I'll bring it home and plug it in with a space heater.

I am going to look into how to properly winterize the plumbing.

I have been to Mt Bachelor and it is a great place to ride.

Nicky and Carter,

How tall are your rigs with the campers on them? How tall of a shop door would I need to be able to drive it inside?

Thinking of builiding a shop/place to store my boat starting next fall and I am trying to decide how big to make everything.

I don't think it's more than 12', but I would plan for a 15' just to be safe.

What about the Tower on your boat? Mine will fit in 12' I think...But it's close.

[Carter13]

Delivery date for my camper is 3 weeks so I can't give you a height but 15 feet sounds safe.

I like your thinking, but soon my new shop will be bigger than our house! I might have to live in it if it gets too big
