Hillbilly Motorhomes Steelheader - Walmart Edition was spotted recently on the John Day River.
The official unveiling will be in January at the Sportsman's Show.
Here's a sneak peak :





Walmart 9 x 12 Heavy Duty tarp
Eureka tent poles, aluminum, extend to 9'-0"
3/4" x 18" steel stakes from the man store....

(no toy stakes from the camping store here, go to your local "Concrete Accessories" supplier and get the real thing.
Get a couple of the small rebar caps unless you want to impale a tweaker nosing around in the dark.)
Assortment of 30" and 36" shock cords (with plastic hooks if you're worried about scratching the rig)
Rig leveling system (optional)

Nothin' like some good old-fashioned tarpestry to take the edge off a rainy day (or night).

Nope, that's the "Winter Setting"....dark out, shiny in.

I paid extra for that feature, DF.

Here's the front view of the Walmart Edition just before the rear "slideout" was deployed :



Truth be known, I made a finder's fee deal with HM.

Nice diggs dude.Good luck,

I think I would have stepped up to the expedition model and got the "CAMO" pattern so the tweakers couldn't see my diggs.

Where's the trash can?????.

This model comes standard with a little shovel.
