The "Tramper"

Well, we're gearing up for the maiden voyage in the "Tramper," aka- Greg's truck/camper set-up. He built the handy platform that we can easily disassemble when we need to haul something. We purchased a self-inflating, 4" thick mattress to sleep on (this also functions as our guest bed!). He mounted three pivoting LED touch lights on the ceiling, and we're still looking for a source of heat. Yeah... that might be kind of important come January! We're also still working on getting some curtains up... but the two of us trying to make a committment to fabric is proving rather difficult. :) According to Greg, all we need now is a portable DVD player! Now that's roughing it!










We'll be trying the Tramper out Thursday evening when we stay in Ripley for Thanksgiving. Let's hope it's not too cold! We'll let you know how things work out... and if Dixie takes more than her share of the bed!  :)

It looks like your blog is off to a great start! I'm glad our blog could help with the research for the truck platform. When we built ours I looked online and couldn't find much information. Good luck with your tacoma camping adventures.
