Kind of spur of the moment, but it looks like I'm heading to Atlanta in a few minutes to meet up with seandgobin. I'll take some pics along the way...

Better hurry. Also, make sure the exchange takes place under the lights and take the pic from a distance. Nothing cooler than night time pics. As a person that worked 10+ years on midnites and outside, sometime just slow down and look at the lights at night. Sometimes the most amazing exposures are passed by in the speed of life.

A few pics so far. Stole the wife's Denali. If I've gotta be up late, I'll do it in comfort. Tossed the hitch on it and stopped for fuel.

I'm in Atlanta now at our meeting place. Hopefully he'll be here any minute. He's got a worse drive though, he's heading to Maine!

My operation was uneventful and all vehicles are accounted for.
I was a little mistaken on his routes. He's heading to Virgina, then Maine. After that, it's west coast time. He'll be living in the M109. He did have a lot of oil underspray under the truck, but I suspect it's from being overfilled at the oil change. (Even with all the oil that drenched the undercarriage, the engine was at full when I checked)
The wife's ride did great. I honestly slipped up a few times and saw 70+ mph on the speedo. I'm not used to a quiet, air ride equipped, leather seated, plus ride.
That big V8 had no problem pulling it along.
Anyhow here's some pics. I'm off to bed, I've gotta be up at 7am.

Won't lie. I'm slowing down more and more from all this burning the candle and both ends. Over last weekend I had to work from 11pm Saturday till 7am Sunday. I thought I was gonna puke when I went for my ritual sunday jog/run/sprint whatever. I came back home and slept from 9am that morning till about 2pm that afternoon. But really cat napped on and off all day.Now I see why you are always so tired patracy!! Working all day and running the roads all night...geeze...
I feel right now that I could cat nap all day...

A few daylight pics. Pretty neat little setup. I'm thinking about doing several things already. Papabear hooked me up with an RV generator. I think I could mount that nicely under that nook of the S250 and build a simple doghouse for it. Also probably put a few deep cycle batteries and water tanks along that side too. I want to hang a AC unit in it as well. Then I need to figure out bedding. Has a really cool crane off the back and a deck area for storage back there too. This will be at the GA rally!

Sorry I was using tapatalk to upload then came back to the PC to edit. I'm going to turn it into a camper. I sold my M750. This one would just be nicer IMO because I could haul it with anything.

Cute setup. I had one similar only with a smaller S318 shelter. Drug it to Aberdeen in 2005. Some pics of mine. The RV booth looking table folded flat and extended making the whole shelter a bed at night.

It's between a 7/8 and 15/16 scale of the S250.

That is a very nice crane!
I want one of those for the back of my M1028. If I could dual mount it in the M101 it would be ideal.....

Drew, does that shelter have any data plates? I'd bet a bowl of chilimac it's a 318. There are a few things that stick out to me that are unique to the 318.
OAL of the S250 should be around 83" and the S318 is around 70".
