Geof, it's not a question of if they come after us, it's when. Apparently racers are already receiving unwanted attention. One of these days Joe Bob and his 1-ton pulling a 40ft 5ver is going to plow...

Yep, that's one of the units I've been looking at. I haven't checked pricing yet, a comparable roof unit would be $600 (coleman) to $700 (duotherm). I'm hoping the Tundra isn't too much higher. The...
