WilderNest adventure topper

[SteveB]

Saw this via ComancheClub.com a couple hours ago and have been up scheming since....

It was tight sleeping under the topper last summer, this would be some serious luxury.

hmmm....
32 hours one way, (could stop at cousins place halfway in Chicago),
1980mi one way,
about 200 gallons fuel round trip(@20mpg),
about $775 in gas

Am I nuts? (rhetorical).

Fly out , buy the truck , and drive it home. Or fly out , buy the truck and drive it home and sell the truck to me. FjR68

The truck is tempting, but I love mine and really don't have that kind of cash on hand. I think I could swing the topper and gas to get it though. It's a good excuse for a road trip.








ROAD TRIP approved and confirmed, gotta be in CO by Sunday afternoon!

[nostaw]

[SteveB]

Just got in....straight. No test naps....I'd like to give it a "thorough" cleaning. It's in pretty good shape, showing it's age a bit but fully operational and watertight!
