I mailed in my registration for the ITG last Wednesday, then when back to the shop and looked at the frame with an axle and the stained and varnished plywood and realized I have about 60 days until I hit the road!
Today I got my registration number by email and made my reservations for Minden.
I thought I'd start with the things I have to order, like the mattress. I've seen some discussion on the foam mattress you can special order in any size for campers, but I've lost the bookmark on them.
If anybody has a clue what I'm talking about, please post a link so I can get one on the way. I sure don't want to have to use an air mattress when I get to Minden!
I think this same place has the mattress pad that doubles as a heater, sort of like an electric blanket, but it goes under you. Sounds good since heat rises!
How much undersize should the mattress be to allow for the bedding? I was thinking at least an inch in both directions, but will that be enough?
One other thing, should the doors be a little below the mattress top so you don't sit on the plywood as you enter and exit? I sure don't want them as high as the Desert Teardrops template shows them.
Thanks for any help you all can pass along!
