Make my story short , I simple can not afforded real RTT what i like :drool: , cost $ 2.400 http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y283/Aleksii/?action=view&current=R6.jpg

that good when weather cooperated , but sleep under a rain ....
plus i do not feel comfortable when some guest from animal kingdom decided visit my tent (off coos some moode Black bear if they in the mood claimed evrever but at least RTT some protection from guests).

So my first step Purchased Cabella tent (hold Very good in summer when rain , and when heat + 90 C night simple breeze can go true a mesh as sun as remove a rain cover ).
My second step Purchased two marine pine 3/4 plywood , cut them make 4 section , install simple non rusted and oxidise oil brass hinges , so platform easy can fall as a book for easy storage and installatyon , cut holes for a hand to easy grab .
make four holes true plywood and roof rail in case strong wind , i can tied platform with bolts to a car roof
And in 5-10 minutes sense i stop i have roof over my had

Nice! and Welcome! I commend your efforts. It appears you are a true overlander and many here could learn from your spirit!

I looked at your albums and it seems you have gotten around pretty well on your budget

Thank You Gentleman's , for a Good Worlds and support .:victory:

I travel all my life :smiley_drive:, even before came to United States 17 Years ago , sense that i simple can not stop searching for hew plaice's in US:smiley_drive:, America so small , but each time when i travel i found new and new areas where i think nothing new left in the area:Wow1::drool:.
And that scare me , as i have short time to explore all the beauties in the country:drool: .

Regarding budget , well NP park pass $ 120 , gasoline for 9.000 miles + - $ 1.200 , food water under $ 100 ,overnight fee in parks $ 300, change oil $ 100

fix band frame , change broken shocks , change front tire , fix motor pillows and ctr when dust feel up a brake pads and i lost control mast fall 12 feet down in river bed...in Utah ....priceless , so far came to over $ 3.600.

From One side cheap to travel , from other hell no (but as sun i accumulate $ i go again explore my country):smiley_drive:

Sincerely Alex
