Have you planned for a couple days in the area around SMB, to make sur everything works like it should and that you understand how to operate everything? There's a lot to remember while your mind is racing at picking up your new toy.

If you call Las Vegas/southern Utah close! We're taking possession out of state so we don't have to pay the CA sales tax. If we need to we'll just drive it back. We have almost 2 days scheduled in Fresno to go over everything and to fix last minute stuff- hopefully it will go smooth.

I like the floorplan. Is it a custom floorplan? Looks similar to an EB13. but different. Much better than a '50' Sorry Jage.
Hope to see you on (or off) the road.
Mike

Good eye- it's a slightly modified RB 13 in an EB. The open rear space will be for mountain bikes, pets, luggage, pelican cases, etc, whatever our plans are for the particular trip. We are customizing it more by adding Raingler molle "shelves" and a cargo net for the rear secured with footmans loops. It will be very modular that way.

Good design ... I did the same thing in the back of my RB. Left room for a road or MTB bike ... also, Rubbermaid Roughneck bins fit perfectly and you can stack them side-by-side and 2 or 3 high depending on the heights of the bins.

I think this floorplan is more popular than it would seem. I can't wait to pick this thing up- It costs 20k less that our first house though! Not for the financially challenged it would seem.
