You want MANLY. Here is what you need attached to your rig. I think they are 3" lines. The only problem will be that you will have to carry around 100 lbs of fire hose.

Hijacking a thread can be so much fun. BSP, you could change out those covers and use gas caps instead....or even make them look like a spare tire cover? How's that for a segue?

Mr Black is talking about the sleeping bed in the trailer, not the truck bed

Space under the bed !!!!!

The neat place under the bed is to hide my women when the DW comes home unexpectedly

Oh, there are other places to stash the other women

Gotta feed and water 'em occasionally. Not much room for dancing either.

With the king pin under the front room. Do you think it would be sturdy enough for a pole?

We recently upgraded to a TT from a popup. There were many purchase to make, but the first of all was a floor jack and a lug wrench that are kept in the right hand storage compartment. My thoughts are that if you have a flat, most of the time you will pull to the right side of the road. This allows me to safely get the tools out without having my back to traffic. If the flat is on the left side I still plan to pull as far right as possible leaving the left wheel on pavement. If needed I will unhook the TV and place it behind me (about 100 to 150 ft) with the wheels turned hard left. This placement is so if someone runs into the TV they will be deflected away from me and if the TV is hit square it will turn out towards traffic. I am a firefighter and this placement is standard for working a crash scene to protect us. It sure isn't fool proof, but gives you a better chance.

I also purchased a torque wrench with correct socket that also stays in the TT, along with a jump battery pack with a built in compressor.

I have been known to over prepare. Hope I never need to do any of the above!

No room for a pole, but could go for 4 walls and ceiling of mirrors with a disco ball!

6 pages and 54 message... Wow!

Let's keep this going.
Oh the original questions was how to make my ugly spare tire cover a little more desirable.

I think I will consider some of the statements but my dw may not go for it.

Any other ideas or saying????????????????????
