Well everyone,
I am stoked. I never immagined that I would get such a helpfull ,or interested , or quick response.
As yet I have not followed up on any of the links, but will do so this evening once the beer tasting session is ended.
I do appreciate the inputs from all of you.
I realise that there are many different aspects to consider as to weather to buy or construct.
I think that one of the major benefits in a purpose built unit is the incorporation of any specially designed custom features.
That said I realise that "one mans meat is anothers poision" , and that any specific design criteria will not suit everyone and not be suitable for every job that might be asked of it.
That being said , if you were in my position, would anyone care to suggest what features you might consider to incorporate in a basic design which is intended primarily for touring and camping out.
I will be awaiting any comments with interest.
Cheers to you all.
