This past weekend the wife and I made our first major SHTF purchase. We got a great deal on a 1999 Viking Pop Up. This model even has a bathroom/shower in it. I will be picking it up this coming weekend and pulling it to the castle. Then we will be packing the baby with supplies for the the many test runs to locale camp grounds and getting set up and take down to a breeze.
I do have to work on getting some small rust stains off the canvas. I don't know what to use on that. I will have to keep researching it. There is one spot of mild mildew on it. I will have to order or make some killz if I can find a great way of doing it. The fun part is going to be learning how to pull it in and out of spots. I have never pulled anything before, but there is always a way to get things done. There will be pic's of the mobile castle soon.
The garden, well that is going great, which I am amazed about. The area we are trying to grow our food is full of roots. I keep working at the soil and pulling out roots. So we will have to wait to see what comes from the labor. Right now I have some lima beans, peas, tomatos, peppers, and cukes planted in the garden.
Security at the castle is getting better. We did invest in a nice puppy named Duke. He is a English Springer Spaniel and wonderful at alerting us. I have made breaker bars for the windows so I can keep them open to a certain amount and not have to wonder about sheeple climbing looking to loot.

Congrats Rook! Y'all will love it, and it definitely adds another layer of security... Be careful what you use on the tent, mild soap is generally what's recommended. If that don't work, just live with the stains. If you find something different, let us know! Towing is a snap. Make sure your wheel bearings are greased up and your tires are good. Backing a short trailer like that can be a challenge, just take it slow. You'll get the hang of it.....
Kitty says for a safe and effective cleaner for your canvas use LA's Totally Awesome. It is cheap, safe for th canvas and does a good job. I lived in a small pop up for 3 years and loved every minute of it. Just make sure you keep it pm'd, and you shouldn't have any problems. After you clean your canvas make sure you put some kind of protectant on it and make sure you wax all the seams. I know it sounds like alot of work, but saves you alot of problems.
