One of my coworkers just received his new tent via UPS. It's a 10x10 Coleman dome. It's an upgrade for him and his wife and two kids, from their 7x7. Egad. I didn't tell him our big tent is 12x20, for the two of us.
Ooh, sounds nifty. What size trailer are you packing all of that into? And why won't you build it -- inertia, or never quite being done twiddling with the design?
The rough idea now is to use a car transporter, and make the second floor a "sleeve" which can be raised and lowered for camping or transport.
Why? Many reasons... no place to build or store it, would require a much bigger vehicle to tow it, lack of some of the appropriate skills (mind, it would be great fun to learn how to weld and all) and a diminishing interest in the Society for now...
I am enjoying hacking on the design, of course, but the rough outlines of the plan have been stable for a year or more.
Once my financial problems vanish (hah!) and I buy a new larger house with room, and decide to purchase a giant truck to tow it, and learn all the skills, and need to go to more events... (:-)
