| 270.1 | Try a pop-up camper that slides in | NEWVAX::AIKEN | I love Crabbet Arabians! 301-867-1584 | Wed May 13 1987 11:00 | 11 |
| Have you ever seen the caps that are pop-up campers which slide
into the truck bed? It's a super idea! Has all the amenities of
a tag-along pop-up -- sleeping accommodations for 4-6, a stove,
sink, table, cabinets. It can be left up, without the sides open,
for use during the day; at night, open the sides to open the sleeper
part. The cost is about $900-$1,000. I think it's worth it, if
you go to shows a lot, to avoid hotel bills. Unfortunately, I don't
remember the name of the company that makes them. An RV center
should know.

| 270.2 | Thanks for the suggestion | ZEPPO::FOX | | Wed May 13 1987 14:13 | 10 |
| Merrie, the pop-up caps are a nice idea but I either sleep in my
truck or I get a real cheap room! I can see why that would be super,
however I really just need something that will 1) be watertight,
2) cover anything I may want to carry around (like my tack boxes,
etc) and 3) will look nice and not obscure my vision too much!
Thanks,
Linda

| 270.3 | COBRA TOPS ARE TOPS | USWAV1::GREYNOLDS | PAINTS-SPORTS MODEL OF HORSES | Thu May 14 1987 10:57 | 7 |
| Linda,on my 85 F-150 4X4 I got a COBRA (it came white an the dealer
did a super job w/painting it to match the dk.blue of the truck),I
like the cobra for several reasons,lots of glass(tempered not
plexiglass),sliding bus type side windows,top windows,and the best
reason is the top pitches rearward ,it definitly adds more entrance
room.Cost however was around $800.I bought it just before leaving
Va. and got a lot of remaining stuff loaded in to it. gary

| Try Northlander in Fitchburg. They make a lot of cap styles. High
ones, ones flush with the cab top, different window styles and they
are cheaper than the dealer fiberglass caps.
Good luck,
Joe
