WOW, I think you generated more excitement than any thread we've seen. That was great. Thanks for sharing it with us....very nice job.

The guys are right, RockheadTommie will never top this.

SKIA sure didn't top this great slide show. Finally someone who knows how to put music to a slide show. He finally posted his pictures.

We used an older windows program called Memories on the Web and another called CD Ripper. I could have fine-tuned the slides a bit but in the interest of speed I selected the computer to pick the random pan & zoom effects.

SKIA has a very pretty rig I am sure since it is the RSO Limited version of our RSE RT.

We were going to triple tow with our 6x10 cargo trailer next year when we get our HDT but many resorts like ours here banish cargo trailers to the back storage lot. The ultimate solution might be to get the Wild Cargo, although kitchen space on the floorplan drawings of the TKE and SKM are raising red flags with Sheila, AKA Cookie momma and Rascal Flatts stalker. She is an avid baker and brings along her Kitchen Aid mixer which we store in the bedroom closet. Weight and space issues probably make a RSE or GKM type of kitchen floorplan an impossibility. However, we haven't made it up to Ocala yet to take a peek at the 2010 SKM they have on the lot for comparison. What happens when Cookie Momma like her kitchen and I like my ham radios and motorcycle with both demanding their corner of the universe?

We'll worry about that next year ... our old family 135-acre farm in NW IL is now officially listed with a Realtor. A couple sports hunting clubs from the windy city are very interested in it.

Dave,
I'd be talking to Brian about customizing the Wild Cargo to Cookie Mama's specs. Then when you come to the HDT side, the weight and storage issues about disappear.

Ditto. There is lots that can be done to make either unit fit your life style. I like cooking outdoors so we don't hardly use the stove. We never intend to put anything in back so that keeps Billie's quilting out of the living area. We have kennels for the dogs (5) that stay back there also whenwe leave the rig.

We've had about 10 meet & greets with RF now, Sheila's hobby when we aren't workamping.

Yeah, Sheila, AKA Cookie Momma, loves baking and cooking of all sorts which really makes room of every square inch of a house kitchen when she is making Christmas Cookie plates up for relatives and campground friends. We like the 39TKE kitchen in the 39SKM floor plan in that regard. We do a fair amount of cooking outside, but it is the storage of her pots, pans, Kitchen Aid mixer, & numerous gadgets she uses on a frequent basis that is probably the biggest issue. She stores the less frequent needed things in the basement, but the 39SKM floorplan by example would require her to access the basement all too frequently by comparison. I just know if I converted the garage to a dream man's room with ham radios and soldering irons that I'd be in really deep trouble if the kitchen make it difficult for her to create her master pieces as easily as our 33RSE does now.

Thanks for the advice Tim! Next spring after we attend our son's grad school graduation in Iowa we are headed toward Smith Center on our way to our workamping session in Ouray, CO. That might be a great time to take a second tour of the factory and to bounce a few ideas around to see what might be possible. We have a few nibbles on our farm listing so our HDT is becoming a real possibility this spring. I'm sure there are a couple of other full-timers willing to at least toss around a few ideas to see what is possible and practical. Maybe man-cave and full-kitchen is possible in the same rig!!!???

Dave & Sheila,

Don't forget that you can turn the Bunk into storage also. We're planning on putting Billie crates of material for her quilts up there and have curtain to hide it.

Great job, congrats on your new rig!!!

Thanks for the reminder, I think it said ~150 lbs up there max. I won't advertise to Sheila as a solution, but surely see it as a great place for some milk crates for storage items not having other places to fit ... at least until the grand-babies come and are big enough to travel with us some!
