I was thinking the same thing when he threw that out there. :)

Although I’m usually joking around I’m serious about this. You know he is too.

Sure I could buy some thing here or have someone made here but....
 
With my head tilted slightly (not much) I can sit up on the platform. The interior door pull fits under the platform, when the door is closed.

To avoid sleeping on dust beds, the mattresses ride in a cover, until bed time. Although they are bulky, they are super comfortable and worth every inch of space they consume. You can actually get a good nights sleep. Best of all no inflating / deflating or air leaks.

Picked up this blower today, for housekeeping on the trail. Like all the other m18 tools it’s small/ powerful.

The guy at Home Depot says to wait til Black Friday for the chain saw. I’ve put it on my Xmas list.

I almost bought that same blower to blow up my air mattress, let me know how it works..

it has 3 settings, the highest really moves air. It included attachments to blow up your mattress.

I also have the m12 air pump, which can also blow up inflatables. I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s more for bike tires and doesn’t move air like this unit.
 
Cooler secured. One easily accessed ratchet strap and it’s out. If I’m solo camping, it can stay there and I’ll sleep next to it. When there are two on board, it gets moved to the front seat. Some stain in the holes and it’s complete.

I love this M12 pump. Bet the M18 is a beast

View attachment 2467326

That is a great pump for a bike tire but isn’t the best for a car tire. I had high hopes for it, but ended up giving to Arthur for his bicycles.

Too bad they don’t offer a m18 tire pump. I’ll get an arb on board compressor eventually.

We have one at work, took 30 min plus to top off four trailer tires. And it overheats. I would love to see what a M18 version could do. My Vivair $100 compressor will bring my 35’s up faster than the M12 pump. Love all my other Milwaukee tools tho.
