Hi, all! 1 Year ago Karma: 0
Just checking in. Proud owner of lucky #13, based in Indianapolis. So far have just used my GO in state (IN) or city (WI) parks for 2 - 4 night trips since I picked it up at at Libertyville in May of '08. I've hauled brush in a few times, as well. I don't have much indoor storage space so it's important that my gear be as multi-use as possible.

It's still pretty much the stock rig (so far - the only thing I've done to it is mount a Yakima rack system on it and the accessories to mount a long wheelbase recumbent on top. This is still a work in progress as the tray extends well behind the rear of the rack. This has resulted in excessive flexing = tray breakage. Have rigged a support bracket but after it broke (aluminum) I need to make one out of steel. If that doesn't work I'll have to invest in a sturdier system (ATOC) or wait until SylvanSport makes that receiver accessory (1.25" for me) they've hinted at so I can mount my Draftmaster rack on the back.

I've also fabricated a shelf to mount a 5000 btu A/C unit under a bed support as well as a method to pipe air in/out that I "borrowed" from some websites that discuss A/C installation in teardrop trailers. So far I can't recommend the attempt. Too many cubic feet of space to cool that has no insulation and can't be sealed. It was passable when the sun went down but.... So, hope to see more of you online. As I'm not a fan of community websites (facebook, etc.) I'm glad the Company set this up.

Hope you're as happy with yours as I am with mine.

Hi everyone, I am Crystal and my husband and I bought our unit this past March. It's been so wonderful. We put a SportRack double bike rack on the top and bought a couple Rubbermaid Rough totes for all our gear and we can be loaded and ready to get out in under an hour. (That includes stocking the cooler, most important, lol)

Our girls are thrilled with being able to get out camping so much more often than in the past, and I love how stress free it is for me.
