Yes they are.
They shelter won't be dropped, using the winch to ease it on and off. Probably a pair of 10-12ft ramps as well

Have you thought about adding structural support to the plate directly under the winch. And add gussets to the mount bases. I see the winch bending the plate in the middle and the feet bending from the rear ward leverage of the pull.

More gussets than it already has?

Thanks.
Interesting the curves life throws at us. With the oilfield basically closed down the company I work for is closing its doors in a few months. A friend of mine in Washington state has convinced me to move up there. So sometime between April and June I will be moving up there.
Will be driving the deuce with the camper in the bed, loaded down with gear. Renting out my house here, will make a little extra money that way.

That will be a little change of scenery from Texas.

Went on a camping trip to Big Bend last weekend with a few friends and picked up the trailer as well. Averaged 10mpg, great mix of mountains and flat terrain.

Haven't been here for a while, missed the shelter pic. Nice! Looks like it's in great shape.
I was thinking of getting one of those, thought about it way too long and hard, decided that an S280 would be better for me. I'll be real interested in seeing how you build it out.
