New fish!!
just kiddin!! I will be taking a second vehicle more for Mama's comfort than anything. This will be a pretty good run from here to P.F. Tenn., and Mama don't like ridin that far in the '74.(And if Mama ain't happy... ) Also, the amount of storage space is limited in the '74, especially for a week-long trip. It's just a convienience to have a spare ride on a wagon-train.
Just a short, weekend trip is a stretch!
Plus, a second car gives us something else to drive while we're there, that I don't have to worry about parking in the Wal-mart parking lot.

Naw, Terry don't let Joel kid you... those Texans want to do everything twice as big.
Just like Eddie says "Just drive the Thing" if you have trouble we'll get you gome. (Or find a good buyer, Hee, Hee,Hee.)

I was really thinking about doing the trailer thing myself.   But I like it the way you organize your life style from suitcases to dufflebags.

You will have no problem with 2 suitcases and the T-Tops in the back.  I've done that a couple of times.  Will be tight but it's doable.

By the way, NICE CE you have.
