We've read a few of the travel threads on the forum, and thought it would be fun to add our own, so here goes...

After dealing with the infamous cabover separation issue and wall slide problem (both eloquently described by Judge), we're off on a 3 week trip from Pickleville, UT to Fort Mill, SC to visit our kids and grandkids. The wall slide is still pretty iffy, so we'll be using it only on our longer stays in Pigeon Forge, TN and Fort Mill, SC. It's getting Vroomed in November, after which I hope to never lose sleep over opening it again.

After our last trip, the boss' main complaint about our Magnitude BH35 was the lack of kitchen prep space. I mused that I could probably come up with a surface set on small legs to create a work surface that could be placed over the cooktop when it wasn't in use.

After a bit of back and forth, we hit on the idea of multitasking a cutting board to do the job. Easy, right? Well, not so fast. The board had to be pretty large at 24" square, and of course it had to be customized with our ranch logo and Maggie's slogan. Still not too bad... All I had to do was build a CNC wood router, mill some aluminum legs, and fire up the 3d printer to make molds from which I could create silicone feet for the legs. Et voila!

We're off tomorrow morning with the sun, and our first destination is Laramie, WY. We'll be posting pictures of every stop, as well as descriptions of the interesting places we find, and ratings of the campgrounds we stay in. We hope you get some vicarious enjoyment from the trip!
