Ben, let me be the first to say thank you for buying this rig and bringing it into the fold. You've been a longtime member who's been tinkering with a project of your own for some time. When you picked up this thing, I think you got a whole new group of followers on the club. It's great that you can share photos and info of what could and may be the only surviving MJ camper. It was awesome to see you put it to use too, it looks like you can have quite the little party in there. Good to see it getting out and getting some use.

 

Enjoy the spotlight. :cheers:
