I would love to have hot water. I will say it was the hit of our camping trip. I lost count of how many people came by and asked about it. Here are a few pics. The lid is made out of 3/4 and 1/4 ply. It is actually not too heavy.



Hot water is a real blessing for clean up. We pressed a 32 cup coffeemaker into becoming our Redneck hot water heater. Great for doing dishes and it's nice to have hot water on the ready for a cup of tea or hot cocoa as well.

The fridge took too long to get cold and it had a difficult time keeping things cold. For a $59 fridge I could not expect too much. I wish it would have worked.

:applause: I particularly like the UT colors! Go VOLS! Living in Oregon now....can't beat camping here, but blood still runs Orange. Which do I build, which do I build? TD or Chuck Wagon? Dag nabit.

Do both !

The chuck wagon will be towed in tandum behind the barn or teardrop for longer outings.

Check state laws about tandum pulling (in Indiana we can) .
