congrats on getting the triple wide. I love road trips, especially when picking up Oakley stuff.

First off I would like to thank @Steven Goldberg from the bottom of my heart, if it was not for him this would have never happened. Steven went and picked it up and stored it in his garage for me and sold me a few more pieces that I’ve always wanted.

I flew out Tuesday night from Denver, CO at midnight and landed in Orlando, FL at 06 in the morning, I had rented a 15 passenger van which I had to remove the seats but still store them in the van, in my opinion was the worst mistake and would not recommend it to anyone.

I traveled to Steve’s house, unfortunely he was out of town so couldn’t help load the van, I really would have liked to have met him in person. Instead I met is fiancé and she opened the garage so I could load the stuff up.

I was able to take out all the shelves and 4 mirrors which were on the inside laying against the plexi glass on the sides of the tower, then loaded the van,

I traveled 2 days around 1600 miles to get home to get back before Friday to go on a job (which got pushed luckily until Monday, but I didn’t find out until Thursday which was no help since I had only a few hours left to drive when I was informed). In the end I think it would have been better to ship everything through a moving service, Due to the seats scratched the doors in a couple spots , so I’ll have to sand those out.

Here it is in its final resting place for now
Until I get time to work on it

Congrats! That canopy looks like it came from the BES warehouse sale in Vegas. We're you there too?

It did come from the Vegas auction, but they did it online instead of meeting there.

That’s a great case!

Always worth a good drive for.

How heavy was the beast?

We struggled with my single wide

Glad you got one. I had been looking for 5 years, when one showed up on ebay that was actually in my city!

This is what I'm talking about. None of this I have to work, I have to walk the dog, where are the kids gonna sit, I have to pick up my wife from getting a mani pedi BS. You get on a plane or whatever it takes and you strap it all to the roof of a smart car and haul it home.

Pffffft. Commitments!

To my surprise It was actually pretty light after taking the shelves and mirrors out to move around and putting In the van it slid right in, getting out was not to much trouble either but I did have help lol

I rented an extended cab cube van. 6 ft tall inside or lying down between the wheel wells. Tie down straps and some blankets. No seats to worry about.
