What Charley said... end of April.

Greg, we are going to try and come on watch on Saturday.

A neutral stone like travertine or even granite would be a lot less work. No matter where you camp, you will be in and out of the rig more than you think. Also, i'm sure you will have plenty of visitors at events. I wouldn't have black floors in my house.

Downside to travertine is KoolAid stains it real easy. :D

Agree on the dark color and dust those it is easier to dust mop than damp mop. One issue to consider with natural stone is it can be like black-ice when wearing socks. Those issues can be offset with area and runner rugs though. :thumbsup:

Now that Gwen is retired... we're going to try to use show dates and track dates as an "excuse" to get out of the Pacific NorthWet in the winter... and be able to just come and go as we please. I'm a bit "nomadic" and am thinking that I'd use this rig the same way we used to use our boat. Or at least I'm hoping that's the case... and that the hassle factor of a rig this size is offset by the "go where I want when I want stay as long as I want".

Last week, for an example, I'd have stayed in Scottsdale a couple more days -- then headed for Del Mar Nats... then gone home up the coast. I'd have had the track car - the hot rod - and the regular car with me... Gwen would have flown home - and I'd have been a free man! :lol: :thumbsup:

Makes sense.... My buddy has a set up like the one you're getting and he and his wife (doggies included) takes off racing across the country when ever he feels like it.

He used to do it with a P/U and enclosed. Then he realized by the time you plan your route, book hotel rooms, find places to eat etc..... the Totor home and trailer saved time, effort and a lot of hassle, not to mention he can go and see whatever he wants in this great land of ours anytime he wants in between races

That's EXACTLY what and why I have wanted one. The hotels along the Interstate suck... and finding a spot to park the dually and my trailer.. unload it ... load it back up at O'dark thirty.

And having the hot rod and the track car etc would just be the best of all worlds... go anywhere - do whatever...

Okay - I've sold myself on this idea again! Thanks!

:rofl: :rofl:

No more LaQuinta's for you?

And I thought all the ideas came from Holiday Inn Express's, not La Quinta

Oh gawd... I got a belly laugh out of that!

Tell ya what -- I'll be happy to stay in the rig in the parking lot!

No more "Welcome Mister Weld" on the bulletin board for me!

Are you coming to PIR for the Shelby club on April 30th?
If you decide to do it I'll come and watch and pit crew for you.
