Hallmark Everest truck camper. I had a 280deg awning installed (Alucab) and the company has a zip/velcro on room, complete with sod floor. Truck campers are a little tight, so when I go bird hunting and stay in one general area I can set this up, keep the dog kennels in there, cook in there, stay out of the sun and sleep in the camper.







Pretty nice interior digs-



I had the heaviest cordura fabric possible made into seat cushion fabric. I can hose it off if the bird dogs muck it up.







430W of solar, 2 LifeBlue lithium batteries and 2 20# propane tanks and a Truma heat system. Hallmark said they routinely go 2 weeks in cold weather with this set-up, using 2 20# tanks.

I had a Hallmark before. Not as well equipped, but a solid hunting rig. In 5 years I racked up over 300 nights in that one.







I've already scheduled my hunting dates for next year, lol. Can't freggin wait.

Nice!

Is that a Mossberg 500 in that last pic? You need a SxS. Something sexy. And English.

Yes it is a Mossy- that pic was almost 10 years ago. I paid $250 for that shotgun which included 3 barrels. It was my back-up so I played with it a few times.

I'd love a sxs, and I've been looking here and there. I kind of like the Merkel's, and I've seen quite a few at Capital Sports. If I spy one in 16ga it very well may come with me.

So I drove this rig home yesterday from Fort Lupton CO (outside of Longmont). 40-60 mph NW wind. I love the tie downs on this thing- it didn't budge a bit. My last camper those chain tie downs would stretch and bounce and make all kinds of noise, especially in Livingston, lol.
