Alabama thread!

correct. coming from my soft shell to my hardshell the only real complaint I have is the door/overhang situation. my hardshell tents "solid door" is also the overhang, so if I put it out all I have is a mesh door. I would like to have 3 flaps at the doors, 1 mesh, 1 solid, and 1 for "awning" over the ladder.

 

you can kinda see that here in this guys photo:



so the only door he has now is mesh since the one is acting as an awning

 

Have not used mine since Moab, two years ago

 

You just had what you are asking for.

 

no, I don't want an annex. that's not what I'm asking for lol.

 

No, I know you don't want an annex but your RTT had a hole to come down through and you were under an awning.

 

haha yes I know, it did serve the same purpose that I am wanting...but in a much more complicated way.

I believe we are going to bring a pop up this weekend like I think you've used before, and put it up just outside the ladder so when we come down we go under the awning. It might be Leo's designated potty spot haha

 

I have a 12x12 canopy that I use sometime, it's nice for shade or getting out of the rain

 

Time to freeze my nuts off putting the lift on my truck in the driveway.

 

Several batwings for sale on FBMP. I don’t know what a new one costs so don’t know if they are a deal or not.

 

yeah that's what I think we are going to try to bring.

 

this may be something...

Morning.

Got my CB tuned last night. Turns out I had my excess coax too closely wound together and it was throwing my numbers off. Once I got that sorted, my readings are anywhere from 1 to 1.5. Glad I didn't have to chase that down the morning of on Saturday.

 

Do you mind bringing your SWR so I can see what my numbers are?

 

Not at all. I'll make sure and pack it.

 

Where did you get it tuned?

 

I just tuned it myself with the SWR meter I bought.

 

Why are roof racks sooooooo damn expensive!?

 

you can get an Ozark Trail version of the Yeti Prinsu:

I forgot about that thread. I’ve also been looking at the Rocky Mountain Racks version since I think their mounting system is a bit better
