What I go with??
I've bought a SUV type tent on a whim. Costco had the Napier brand on sale in July.

Let us know how it works, especially in the rain.


Donny always buys stuff that doesn't quite measure up to his needs. Fer
instance. Would you use a device that produces high heat and flames to
heat a highly flammable enclosure while you sleep? An enclosure that
could drip molten material on your skin if it burned.
And a boat that isn't quite big enough to handle normal sea and wind
conditions in his native land. His Wife told him that 2 more feet might
do the trick, but Donny cheaps out and buys something not quite big
enough. Will he ever learn?

Nah, he had to settle for what he got. Just like I did.

I *needed* one of these:

But had to settle for this:

If you had a million 3 laying around, you could get one of these

Too tall. I had to sneak under a 12' 9" bridge. Doubt the Prevost could
do that.

I'd be going under it damn slowly, with my wife watching the whole time.


I knew it was mighty low but I didn't see how low till we passed the
spot in the car. The sign was hidden by bushes. When we left the area, I
drove 10 miles out of the way to avoid that trestle. All I had to worry
about was low wires. After that, I paid closer attention to my trucker's
atlas. I'll never rely on the Garmin trucker GPS for off highway routing
again.

Who makes the truckers atlas you like?

I wouldn't say I like it but it does seem to have accurate information.
I need to use a magnifying glass to see everything.
Rand and Mc'naly makes it. I got the one with laminated pages. About $50.

I've kept a magnifying glass in my desk drawer for years. Only been the past year or so that I've
had to drag it out. I suppose it's just cheaper to print stuff really, really small. Probably saves
'em a lot of ink money, not to mention paper, trees, forests, global warming, etc., etc.
