FOR SALE: (1) Cocoon

KOWBOY · 04-16-07, 11:56 PM

I'm tired of crawlin' in the Cocoon, shittin' in porta-johns, and smellin' like a dead cow at the end of ev'ry event.

Today I done bought me a lil' somethin' to remedy these problems to slap on The Executive Transporter.

In the true spirit of one-up-manship ... I'm DAMN proud to present The Presidential Suite.

http://www.lancecamper.com/2007models/1181.html

Got a screamin' deal on a brand new, left-over '05 model that the Folks wanted to move off the lot in a hurry. Some minor differences to the linkie I provided ... but y'all can get the gist of it.

She's a friggin' monster.

Some assembly required.

wanabecruisen · 04-17-07, 03:21 AM

Niiiiiice! You're gona have to have her painted OD green so you can still claim to "fit in" with the whole white trash thing Sir. Very niiiiice!

66fj40x2 · 04-17-07, 07:14 AM

Hey Roger ...

I need a linkie to that wing thang on your truck ...please ... sir.

DSLTOY · 04-17-07, 07:52 AM

Outstanding, guess now you can do the biscuits and gravey as you have the real kitchen. Are you bringing it to GSMTR or are you still hauling Josh's junk?

I'll sure do the biscuits sir. It's got some sorta space-age combination oven that the Fella claims is both a reg'lar oven AND a microwave oven. I ain't never heard of such a thang ... but my only question to the Fella was if'n it cook biscuits.

Still bringin' both rigs ... maybe debut the new rig at The Ramble??

P.S.: In case ya missed it ... please back up to post #4 sir.

wanabecruisen · 04-17-07, 08:21 AM

I was just takin a closer look at the photos of that thing - SWEET! I really like the "dry bath" set up. That's the one thing that I hate about my junk- Grogan couldn't take a shower in that thing! I'll bring my own towel

KOWBOY · 04-17-07, 11:16 AM

The dry bath was, in fact, the major feature I was wantin' ... that's why I had to get such a big'un.

I lived in one of these bad boys for three years for my work ... the ultimate studio apartment.

Should take deliv'ry in a few weeks and start buildin' a framework to support the thang.

dd113 · 04-17-07, 01:29 PM

Sweet, want to sell your tent cot?

Clutchee · 04-17-07, 01:32 PM

Your girlfriend will look nice sittin on the couch with ya....maybe prop her up in the shower.

Nice addition to you home away from homes.

And that is why I don't camp unless it's with my P.O.S. 'Ebago!!

Congrats on your latest addition

Look forward to its viewing at the "Reunion"

BTW, is it toooooo early to start a "Reunion" thread... I mean it's only 2 1/2 months or 10 wks or 73 days away... Not that I'm countin' or anything!!!

Domek · 04-18-07, 12:37 PM

There you go again!

Kowboy get your ideas together and then write them down.

You start a thread it's called coccon for sale and you go telling everyone about the new presidential sweet you bought and on top of that you don't even mention the coccon at all.

May be you need to attend them inglsih classes at nite with me!

how much for the cocoon? I'd like to buy it as a souvenir!

Ja! Ja! Ja!

you can always take the cocoon for somebody else that don't have a place to sleep in.

You're a turd.

Meanwhile ... camper should be ready for delivery next week.

KOWBOY · 05-09-07, 07:39 PM

After all the delays ... The Presidential Suite's gettin' delivered to Fannin County tomorrow.

Havin' 'er took right to master fabricator Greg Sadler so he can start makin' up the framework we gonna need to set 'er on the trailer. Although inspired by The Roger Rig ... we got us a bit more complicated install due to the three and a half foot step down at the ass end of this monster.

Ain't no way she's gonna make The Ramble ... but The Reunion shouldn't be no problem.

KOWBOY · 05-10-07, 03:27 PM

Quote from phone call from Greg:

"The Apollo has landed!!"

Life is good.

Look at the title of this here thread then git back with Kowboy.

Nice rig. Lookin forward to seein' it in person.

KOWBOY · 05-22-07, 06:45 PM

Dropped off The Big Ol' Dodge and The Executive Transporter at Greg's yesterday for fitment of The Presidential Suite.

The race is on for The Ramble ... mite make it ... mite not.

wngrog · 05-22-07, 07:37 PM

Awesome.

Can't wait to see it painted and mounted.

YOu could always use that camo tape if you dont want to Krylon it.

KOWBOY · 07-12-07, 07:31 PM

Greg's still fightin' this damn thang ... and cussin' me every breath.

He's had to overcome way too many problems but he's on the home stretch and finishing up the doors for the toolboxes. I'll be home in a few weeks and will get some pics.

Found some 17.5" wheels/tires that hold 4500 pounds that'll work real nice with the 8k axles to give me a lil' safety factor.

Biggest problem is the trailer deck itself ain't really stiff enough for all that weight that far forward. Once Greg's all done we're rollin' 'er into a weldin' shop to brace up the trailer framework. In way to fawkin' far to quit now.

It's only money.

Sure gonna be nice though ... Greg's done a great job.

DavidW · 07-12-07, 09:01 PM

'bout time for an update. Thought you done fell into the water and the boys didn't tell no one!

KOWBOY · 08-08-07, 10:28 AM

Still hope to have 'er done 'fore FlatNasty.

Domek · 08-08-07, 10:57 AM
