Austin RV show today. Not a lot of real expensive rigs, most expensive was "only " $236k
Mostly 20k cheap long and big trailers, buy here are some of the cool 5th wheels I saw


This car hauler seemed a mile long. Passed the fire place was a small bedroom to the right. Pic was taken on the patio portion, so much longer than pic could capture



So cool

The Cadillac of em all

These are what I am using for water bottles. A friend of mine's neighbor gave them to him. He used to buy ingredients that were sold in them. I've put a spigot on mine.

How many do you carry? BPA free?

One and that is an EXCELLENT question. I have no idea. I hope so or they may have to be used as gas cans.

I just worry about plastic containers that are stored in areas where the sun can beat them up.

ESEE-4

I like it alot. Blade is super thick and it's a very hefty knife. Got a nice weight to it. I'm probably going to pick up one of the smaller ESEE Izula knives this weekend.

I was impressed with Sean's wash station when he was generous enough to host me on that trip we took. Now we can all have one. If I wasn't on a strict austerity program, I would pick one up.

Nice find. I actually think that when I bought mine it was on an overstock deal as well. I just can't imagine I would have paid $45 for it. I want to say it was closer to $20. But I think REI does the same thing as Amazon sometimes and puts a MUCH higher MSRP than there ever was on the item. But I do like the washing station... makes cleanup much easier.

Picked up a new tent today. Eureka copper canyon 4. Big tent (8x8) with a 7 foot ceiling. Want to get my son into camping and figured this would be big enough for my wife to come along as well. Probably going to hit up a nearby state park in a few weeks.

Bought a camp kitchen finally as well as a new self-inflating sleeping pad and a white/red LED headlamp. Just a couple things I've been meaning to pick up since my last trip. Have a couple more things to pick up before Jambo as well.

My favorite camp kitchen is my tail gate.

I like that Lifetime folding table from Sams Club. Best $29 I ever spent. I own 2 camp kitchens (one Coleman.. I think its a Coleman and one REI) and I've used each one maybe once or twice. Just take up too much damn room. If I had a full size truck or a trailer.. I'd probably use one more.

Ha. I have a buddy that bought an REI Kingdom 8 for this exact reason, only his wife doesn't like camping. She went once, now he and his daughter have a way toooo big tent.

 

[Silverback]

LMAO. That's the same reason I have a Big Agnes Big House 6 with vestibule. I'm sure my wife will go again. But her schedule doesn't usual allow for it.

The tent is big enough for the 3 of us but small enough that I could use it by myself. I plan to take it to Jambo for only me but I should be very comfortable in it.

I the words of Sir Mix A Lot, I like big tents.

and if anyone wants a good wash station for cheap, this looks good:

That is a trip for the Tent Cot and an EZUp.
