I can't say I use mine all the time yet. I've only driven the Avy twice in the last week.

If anyone here in Missouri wants one, I have the one I built using the 48" drawer slides I'll give away. It is carpeted and ready to go. There is enough room under it to store 2 of the covers. I got a good deal on a steel bedslide about a year and this on has been sitting in the garage ever since.

If MBT doesn't take this, I will.  I'm not in Missouri, but we are planning on being at Bratfest if we could arrange something.

Glad you brought this up. I had completely forgotten about it.

MBT, you still nterested?

I won't be at Bratfest though, I am working weekend nights now.

No problem...if MBT doesn't want it I'll be glad to arrange something.

I definitely want it and was figuring on picking it up at Bratfest. We'll have to make other arrangements. Maybe sometime that I'm running down to the Lake house I can make the trip over to Sedalia. Or maybe we could try to set up an Avalanche train delivery for Bratfest, although I doubt the odds are too good that someone will be swinging through Sedalia on the way to St. Louis.

Guess I'll be making my own!

Donnie1, do you think you could 'reverse engineer' that thing for me before your exchange?  (Pics, measurements, a list of materials?)

I'll see what I can do. I know there are several that are alot better than mine though.

CS, one of the post on here is right on with the measurements. Materials are 1 sheet 3/4' plywood, 3- 1"x4" boards and 10- 2" casters (harbor frieght was cheap) and one piece of hardboard to go under it. Carpeting and adhesive to your color liking.

  4' wide with 1x4's screwed on the outside edge for a total of 49.5" - Length is right at 63" with the head board. I glued & screwed everything and it really works great, It actually rolls easier with some weight on it. I used outdoor carpet and spray adhesive on it. 4 wheels on each side and 2 in the middle to drop into the cupholders.
  I love this thing and I just got it done a few hours ago.
