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.
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... (:-)
