No, I ordered the 10lb galvanized model. $139.99 plus about $15 shipping. It's still listed on their web site. They're not in order, so maybe you missed it.

pop up camper
by Julie Muller 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

Hi Tom. I have a 4-wheel pop up on my Chevy 4x4 and love it. One of my favorite features is the low weight; I leave it on all winter for traction and hardly notice it. It doesn't have all the creature comforts of some I have seen but works for me. I bought mine used and saved a lot, I see used ones for small trucks fairly often. I also dream of a Sportsmobile but can't afford one, I call my set up a poor mans Sportsmobile . Hope all is well with you guys. John John Muller M23 " DreamTime"

Re: M_Boats: WHat is the primary reason sails wear out?

If they aren't molded and haven't been exposed to UV or salt water and appear to hold a good shape they are probably good. If you are a gung ho racer you'll want to replace them. Eldor M17 Motu iti

WHat is the primary reason sails wear out?
by kdocter 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

Is the length of time a sail is useable based on age? TIme under sail? Amount of wind sailed in? All the above? Or mostly hours under sail...whatever conditions might come? My sails were "parked" for 27 years in the cabin in the sailbag. How do I know if my Monty sails are giving me the best performance? Kendall M-15 #164

Monty owners! For years I have struggled with anchor storage on my M-17. I am considering a bow pulpit bracket but find 2 different types available: one type is a two piece arrgt. that hangs the anchor by the rod on the end of the flukes the other is a single piece that holds the flats at the bottom of the anchor. Your Opinions and experiences would be helpful. Thanks Arnold Sharpe M-17 "Little Breeze"....in the water for the season in Portland, Oregon.

Thanks, Dorothy, for the info on the material -- I think Cynthia is about "sewed out" after just completing a cover for the boat -- We're going to take a break from boat projects for a while, do some lake sailing, and go down to the Sea of Cortez for a cruise with the Tucson Sailing Club in May -- Hope ya'll are well, Jim & Cynthia M17 Latitude

Happy campers

Jo,Bosun and I tow our M23 with our Arctic Fox camper on the back of our truck and absolutley love it. Our friends, though, were looking for a more compact camper for their 6 foot bed and bought a Northstar Pop-up. I wentwith him to look at the 4 Wheel campers over in Ca and honestly, I think his Northstar is a much nicer camper. Whatever you get....I bet you will love traveling like that .....we do. We can stop whenever and wherever we want with pretty much all the comforts of home. Sean M23 "Dauntless" www.havasumontgomerys.piczo.com

Tom, I went with the same unit Larry has, and the track I went with is the one with the sliding bolts. Not installed yet as I had a heck of a time finding 5mm bolts in the length I needed. Finally found some online and they should be arriving any day. So to get my distance above my teak floorboars I have a 7/8" x 7/8" teak strip that the track will sit on top of. Just got that cut to size this week also. Sailing in San Diego next weekend so will do the install after that. I will take a few pictures. My plan is to remove the old track, fill the holes and re-drill the smaller holes through the epoxy. The 5mm is a pretty small size so I am looking for an oversized washer or else I will have to have some sort of backing plate.

I have to second that Tom. Been looking at those for some time and did not realize until recently you could get one with diesel. A little to pricy for my right now though.
