Where do you take it/ use it for? Memorable trips? This is the escape capsule, ensuring sanity and my home away from home when on the road.
Memorable trips: the build “finished” in August 2016 (a build is never REALLY finished) so the big one so far was our SoCal Mountain Rendezvous event and Overland Expo West 2016. In January I’m leaving for a 2 week cross country trip in it.
