    CVT sells a bat wing now too. Probably a little lower quality but the price is much more reasonable. I have seen the Eezi awn version in person and it is hefty. Very well built and very solid.

    I had a similar setup on my Ranger, but it swung to the left and I camped off the right side of the truck. My idea was to be on the non-traffic side of the truck.

    For the Tacoma, I need a dual swingout so I can open the back with the teardrop attached.

    And yes, I am currently deciding on a back bumper too....

    CVT's Bat-wing is now called The Fan Out awning. I just bought the fan out, and its pretty sweet. You get the anwing and walls for $585.00. The canvas is a nice thickness. One person can set it up, but is easier with two people.

    Shepherds are the best. I'm looking for a puppy to adopt when I move out of this apartment at the end of the year and have been looking at shepherds forever. Need a good truck dog that likes to hike around!

    Oh and you're gonna love the rear Pelfrey. I have standard clearance but the swing out is the same. All Pro was a close second for me.

    Shepherds are perfect adventure dogs. It wouldn't be the same without him.

    Looks great. Can't wait to have it! Trying not to think about it. A little nervous about the :sawzall:

    31M.

    Was going to go with the Sears Platinum, but it sounds like some people have been having issues and Sears doesn't carry them anymore?

    Yeah I couldn't bring myself to. Wish I did though! Your rig is gonna look slick. I'm loving the ideas for an access cab. I need a Prinsu on my shell.

    Skip the diehard, several of the guys I wheel with including myself have had problems out of them.

    Look at Oddessey, supposed to be better quality and they make a 31M.

    Has a lot to do with them being puppies. If you keep taking them for rides when they are young, they'll be used to it. That's how I somehow got this truck dog. Every time I grab my keys she bolts for my truck. I wish I would have trained her to like water more...
