Not exactly awning talk , but I thought it was the best category to go under .... Here is an idea that seemed to attract many a admiring look , very practicle and cheap to build , also it kept a lot of newly cut grass and wet foot prints from entering my trailer ..... i built this portable decking last summer , I made it to fit the bed of my tow truck , I will let the pictures do the talking ........

That's certainly one way to keep your feet dry. But Lord knows I don't need any more weight to carry around. I do plan on parking mine in the backyard when it's not on the road and that would be a most excellent idea in that case. Love the pool, too. Does it go with you?

Cheers !! the Americana festival is a long weekend held on the Nottingham showground in August .... like you have renaissance fairs , we have weekends calibrating American music from the 40's , 50's and 60's these include an American classic car show and rock'n'roll , blues and country singers .... everyone dresses up in the evening and gets very drunk ..... We decided to dress as American convicts .... Even the show ground security joined in our fun ........

I personally think that would take glamping to a whole new level. They would be cool if a guy could get his wife to load and unload them.

Sean, American prison suit stripes changed to up and down 'cause the horizontals made us all look fat. Then the skinny cons sued, so now we dress em in orange... 'cept for we Scots who still prefer plaids. Get with the times, eh mate?
