    Thanks! We've spent about 25-30 nights (7 - 9%!) / year in the camper. It's been great. Still trying to convince my wife to go full conversion like this:

    1/2 Pit, 1/2 Cattle Dog. Oakland animal shelter. The Cattle Dog part makes him neurotic and look like a malnourished Pit (think "wet Cattle Dog", or any other long hair skinny mutt). He is 4 and there's no mellowing- in his near future.

    I really want to pick one up, but we'll see. It would be so nice for road trips with the family.

    Link?

    I convinced wife that a fridge/freezer (in my case, ARB group buy) was good not only for extended camping trips and in the trailer, but also for extra household overflow storage. It now has something in it pretty much all the time at home in the garage, whether fridge beer for me in summer, or freezing overflow steaks and such now that we have loads of breastmilk in the house freezer. :thumbsup:

    Wow that is cheap haha.

    That's what I'm thinking as well. Will be worth it when we don't have to deal with ice at all.

    Just a heads up. If we get more locals the price could be cheaper if I can freight it to one location, since the existing group buy price is for separate FedEx shipping to multiple locations. Depending on how many NorCal folks sign up I can figure this out when the GB goes live.

    FedEx shipping costs them about $45 per order so hopefully by freighting multiple units to one location we could get a good price reduction.

    If the regular group buy fails to get 20 orders I can still look into this option.
