Thanks to Daisy and Mark for sharing examples of what people think they
need for their own boondocking experience. Extreme! Somehow this makes
me feel less guilty for doing things like having the hubcaps replated on
my Safari.

One of the most outrageous things in the 'Mog was an 
expresso machine. Those mad scientists know how to travel !

To my way of thinking you guys missed the item that really marks this as 
EXTREME!!!

If you look closely at the interior photograph "View 2 : Office Area",
The three pieces of gear in the rack with the back of the chair in front of 
them are as far as I can tell, a Harris RF Inc. Model 350 (Military called 
them Pacer-Bounce systems) of the top of the three, the matching 500 watt 
amplifier and the matching tuner on the bottom. If you read the write ups, 
it has a power elevating mast for antennas as well, big enough that the 
fellow says he can put a chair on it if he wants a "high" point of view.

Now that is REALLY extreme!!!

Kind of puts my 1964 Airstream Ambassador with Kenwood TS-570 HF radio way 
out in the back woods somewhere however I bet I have more enjoyment because 
I've done it all myself!!!
