So, Mrs. P takes a dim view of me taking our Camplite on fishing or hunting trips. So I have been ruminating on a mobile man cave that I can use for these manly pursuits.

I call her "Mini-Me". Except I'm not a she. Not there would be abything wrong with that, but....I mean....

Let me try again.

I call it The Millenium Fal.... no. No, that's not it.

Oh, hell. I will be soliciting name suggestions once I get that horse thing pried off the sides.

I feel it is always a good idea to have more than one option of where to sleep at night in case of being thrown out of the house.

Get this: it has an air conditioner. Yes, you read that right. Air. Conditioner. BOOM!!!

Well, you did it. You have too much tow vehicle.  :o With a good WDH, the rear tires wouldn't even touch the ground.

Interesting, any pic's of the inside? As for a name, how about "The Dog House", "Rats Nest", I always like alittle grunge when naming inanimate objects.

I'm going in that direction. I have it in mind to decorate it in Sasquatch themes.

On that topic, does anyone know a reasonably good photo-shop person ? (Is that even the tool anymore ?) Check your teenagers.

I'm trying to put something together for the truck. Kinda like this, but with a Sasquatch. And no, I don't wan't cute 'squatch waving back or something lame or not....credible. Anyway, they'll make the wrap if I can provide the artwork.

Interior pics from the seller. I'll take some after some mods.







The door photo is from before the porthole window went in.



And a photo during construction.

Upcoming mods:

- Change all the lighting to LEDs
- Move the battery to the tongue
- Mount the spare tire to the tongue
- Foam tile floor
- Command strip hooks like mad
- Proper 120v/12v electrical control/charge/distribution center with fuses (currently just a master fuse)
- Power exhaust fan instead of just a vent
- Mini-vault
- Double USB charger builtin
- Another 120v outlet inside
- Outside 120v outlet
- Mounted fire extinguisher
- Mini-ceramic heater
- Shower curtain rod for hanging clothes ?

And I'm wondering what it would take to upgrade the wheels to 13" or 14". New fenders, certainly.

I have a Heater Buddy for it, and I'm thinking one of the smaller Yeti coolers or similar.

Looks nice and cozy.
I like the bear on the tailgate.Too many Bambi lovers around here, ( where I live) for that.

I may have to go with the bear if I can't get this artwork project off the ground.

Folks around here go up in the high desert foothills in the second half of the winter and use the snow on the ground to track cougars and thin them out. Helps the deer and elk, not to mention the cute little bunnies.

I would think that there is somebody out there on the old inter-web that can get it done for you.
