There are so many things I love about my husband. He's smart as well as clever, has a great sense of humor, he's loyal, loving, kind, a great father/husband/grandfather, and has an adventurous and bold spirit, among many other qualities that make me fall more in love with him as each year unfolds. And, he's a bargain hunter. In preparation for our road trip, we bought Mini, our 21 foot travel trailer. We love her but she's small. Being small, she doesn't offer up much storage. To solve that problem, my husband suggested we get a "cap" (say what?) for his truck so that we could have additional space to store stuff. Although I am committed to being a minimalist on this trip (not buying anything until we need it), we are going to need access to a few more essentials than can fit into mini Mini. Checking with friends and online we were sticker-shocked to find that the kind of cap we want/need can run up to $1500. Wise and crafty husband started keeping an eye out on Craigslist and and found this baby, now happily snuggled into the bed of his truck. The seller was offering this brand-new, custom black cap, specially designed for his Titan for $400. Apparently he put it on his truck and just didn't like it. So, he took it off and posted it for sale on Craigslist. Used but unused. My husband offered $300. One quick trip to the outskirts of Portland, Maine last night and our new cap is road-ready. It is fully carpeted inside (on the inside roof - sounds weird but it's not when you see it), has side windows with screens, locks in the back and looks perfect on husband's truck! And, it's the brand name recommended to us as the best.
One more step towards launch date!
