Thanks a lot. Should get some wheeling and camping pics up soon. We pick up our focus from the dealer tomorrow so I wont have to rely on her as much.

Thanks. Flareless isn't legal here either but as long as they aren't sticking out a ton the cops wont mess with you. I'll need to cover em up for inspection though. probably just some temporary garden edging.

Just got done with the platform and foam. Pretty simple. I used a 1/2" 24x48 piece of plywood cut at 16" then used a 48" piano hinge. With the seat up the angle holds hinged piece tight against the seat back. In the down position the top of the seat back acts as a cantilever with the hinge and 8x48 piece of plywood acting as the anchor.

This Is the 4" thick foam full mattress topper I bought from overstock cut to fit. Don't buy memory foam since it gets hard in the cold. It's 73x52 perfect for my wife and I at 5'5" and 5'9"

Drove to Baltimore to check out the campus and hated the area. Defiantly not where I want to live. Ended up driving to The university of Virginia in Charlottesville and we both really liked the area. Much better for outdoor recreation too. Snapped these photos when we walked back to her during the trip.

This shows the texture of the monstaliner a little. Not the best photo because it's still with my phone.

Really need to get that tire off the rack. My wife and I can feel gusts of wind pulling on it on the highway. Doesn't help that my tires are almost the diameter of a 33 and I'm on stock gearing either.

I haven't read the whole thread so forgive me if its been answered, but which monstaliner kit did you use? 1 or 2 gal? How's the monstaliner holding up?
