Deb said when I retire, we can get get another dog. I retired a year early and we got Gus - a rescue puppy. Deb, Gus (now 52 pounds) and I would not fit in the teardrop so we had to find something that all of could sleep in. First needed to find something that would pull a bigger camper - enter Gus's Big Blue Truck - 2010 F150. Next came the 2018 BaseCamp. Since the teardrop was called the Escape Pod, we call our Base Camp the Escape Pod II. We are enjoying our Escape Pod II.
