Our next project. Add my bad shoulders, knees and especially back to my now really bad leg and with Debra Davis-Smiths RA, we are starting to have a really hard time setting up camp at SCA events. Lugging totes, crates, canvas and wood to pack and unpack; depending on which setup we use, 1-3 hours setting up the tent(s), assembling the bed and getting everything in place, this battered body really struggles. It makes wanting to go to events less appealing. That or its take a mundane tent, which already lessons the fun, and sleep on the air mattress on the ground, which makes me ache and again makes it less fun. So this is our plan. Pull up, setup a shade fly, pull out some chairs and wallah! Sunday we are picking up a 14 x 6 trailer. Bit by bit we will begin building something like the attachment. The roof and outside skirting/deck wont be as spectacular and the door will be on the side. But we will add windows and attachments to quickly add a shade fly. On the back Ill make a fold-out kitchenette area for her. Inside will be a permanent bed, shelving, fold-out table and hopefully a bench. Technically it will be smaller than one of our tents, but it will have so much more storage area that we will likely end up with more usable room. The BIG snag will be getting something to tow it!! Anyone have a reliable truck just taking up space??? :)
