That's really cool and is pretty close to what I've looking for, however the price is not even in the realm of being in my budget. Is $300 pretty typical for something like this? Wow.

It is very easy to set up, similar to setting up a little tent. Takes about a minute or two to set up and take down. The poles fit just like tent poles. However, they are solid poles, so they are not shock corded like tent poles. The poles and awning all fit in the case, it is a well thought out design.

I like the awning, very cool. :26_7_2:

It was windy when I had it set up. Not a real strong wind, but enough to move the trees around, even though they do not have any leaves on them. I was surprised by how little it moved. It is not Hannibal strong, but my first impressions are that it should do good in all but a hard wind.

More storage solutions.
I will be using the Go Box in the back of the cab to hold lunch and snack food. It will be easily accessible from the front seats while driving. (Nothing worse than having grocery bags rip, and spill food all over the place.)
Ordered from Eastern Mountain Sports. Link Here.
I highly recommend EMS, they are great people to work with.
A note on the sizing of the Go Boxes.
Thule has the wrong sizes listed for the Go Boxes. The correct size of the medium is 12 x 14 x 24, and the large is 12 x 18 x 24.

That Thule Go Box worked great for me when I needed it. It's very sterdy for a cloth box. I kept my kayaking gear and clothing in it.
I would highly recommend EMS too. Not the cheapest, but they love and use the products they sell. Back in CT I shop only at there stores and I have always gotten great customer service. When I was looking for hiking boots for my 12 day backpacking trip in New Mexico a few years ago the customer service person spent 2 hours with me as I picked out my footware.

Sorry.
It will all be stopping soon, for a while at least. (Big plans for next year....)

I get small boxes from them almost weekly:wings: and the occasional large box also. They only sell quality products and I know I will get something well tested if I order them.
