DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

i recently bought a Kelty Noahs Tarp 16 used for super cheap. So i should have plenty of shade now, however having a screened in room would be really nice for bugs and such.

Usually i dont think about camping during bug season but since i plan to hook up an A/C to the trailer i now have to consider these things.

 

YES!!!!!!

 

Wet microfiber cloth has worked well for me.

My canopy with walls cost about 150 but it's not as bug proof as that.

 

That wouldn't be hard to accomplish.

 

Or this one is a lot cheaper... and comes with 4 awnings! hahaha.

Looks like it would take flight with a small breeze.

 

Oh also making some tarp poles, the ones on Amazon are made of aluminum and i just dont trust them...


So i bought a couple of these expanding 6ft-12ft painters poles and im going to drill a screw into the nylon end to put through the tarp holes....

 

Why even bother to go outside? Seems like a lot to set up.

 

well i have a trailer so the only thing i really have to setup is the tarp right now. It is huge though so setting it up will probably be fun to figure out the first few times. Also can use it at Tacos y Tacos en el lago!

Also would be nice to have the screen room for dude when im at camp. This way he wont be getting the trailer dirty getting in and out all the time, and he can see me when im at camp.

If we catch him running into the screen its just added entertainment.

 

My wife is learning the joys of a semi powerful RWD car, her Jag needs rear tires after a year. lol.

 

She doing burnouts to and from the mechanics?

 

Trying to see how hard this is to set up alone, actually not that hard. I can get this setup in about 5 minutes. Its huge though. I could park my truck under it in this configuration. 2 trucks if I had 4 poles.

 

Also ordered some hardware to replace the blue and orange clips that hold the stock fender flares on... painted the washers blue to add a little Ric Flair.

 

Mmmmmm sooooo fancy!

 

Yep, good thing its under warranty and I work here. Lol

 

Thanks for the joke, you Jinxed me @Silverspool. She just called me and the CEL came back on. We've had the supercharger off this car twice this week already.

 

Put an LS in it, thats what everyone always tells me

 

I do have a couple of spare LS's laying around.
