7.5K and no garmet bag or bumper
My Rat is looking better all the time. Doc
Was in jest earlier when comparing the expense of the used unit I found. But until Bill's description here I didn't fully realize what these things were going for new and as tricked out as most here would like to see them. I've got just over $3k in the trailer here including the bumper and lid organizer I added from Bushtec and the complete repaint and striping I did.
That includes the hitch for the SEEG though the overall cost of deployment will go up another $300 or so when the hitch for the SERG is added in. Even so the $3300-3500 range seems like a lot for the portable storage. Don't get me wrong, I've come to really appreciate and enjoy the storage and the utility, functionality and convenience it brings to the road trips. But I'm sure I'd have never bit it off for the cost of starting with all of it new.
I admire Bill's and everyone else's efforts to get them nice and have them just how you want them. It's going to be sweet Bill. Anne is going to adore the extra space. But I'm really glad I squeaked in on the cheap.
