    There are a couple "trivics" running around on the internet. The ones I've seen were made from a 88-91 Civic sedan. They look pretty good too. Here is a pic of one I found. Thought about getting a junker sedan and doing this myself.

    Sweetwater is a local brewery with a penchant for fun. (the 'Hooch is our local river, the Chattahoochee)

    Their signature brew is 420, some others are Happy Ending, Donkey Punch, Motorboat

    The local winery even got in on the act

    BabyJ is like smoke, he's everywhere and nowhere. That's probably him, he travels a lot and is always online.

    No, I've been busy with the tow vehicle. :P Really the only things I'd like to do would be some lighting/batteries/inverter/charger and some window shades and screens. It's pretty far down my list, though.
  • slo88crxslo88crx Senior Wagonist
    Looks good dude! How are those new brakes workng out for you??
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I haven't tried towing with them yet. I MIGHT take the trailer downtown for the Varsity monthly thing this Thursday. Maaaaaybe. It gets kinda crazy down there.
  • slo88crxslo88crx Senior Wagonist
    Yea I would be a little sketchy also! I dont even want to drive mine to work with the new paint and all!
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member

    i was going to show that to him.
    i saw it a couple of weeks ago on the internet, but forgot to post it.

    bam, good to see you're using the camper a lot.
  • TofumanTofuman Band Wagon
    Clever. Nice camper. :mrgreen:
  • stampernstampern Senior Wagonist
    bam-bam - do you have any rough idea on what the total weight of the wago-camper is? You said the tongue weight is over 300lbs, just wondering what you think/know the total weight is. I'm wondering if my RT can handle between 1200-1500lbs behind it. Planning on pulling flat bed trailer with 2x 400lb quads on it. Estimated weight is between 1200-1500lbs.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I've been meaning to put it on a scale but haven't. I guesstimate that it is indeed 1200-1500 lbs. The only reason I know the rough tongue weight is that I used a bathroom scale to check it.
