I use my "homemade" awning a lot to keep firewood/stuff dry. All I had was a pre-mounted 1/2" x 12' track. I used five 10-24 x 1" eye bolts and nuts that slide into the track. They can be tightened as needed to fit a cheap 10x12 tarp (5 grommets). I attach tarp to five small carabiners which attach to eye bolts. I used some old 6' tent stakes for the ends and staked down them using bungee cords. I used it at a concert where the winds were horrible. It moved with the wind, but did not collapse or bust anything. You may call me cheap.

Lehman's Supper Club in Rice Lake, Wisconsin has live music on Wednesdays throughout the summer. It's free, it's outside, and they have a lot of eating/drinking specials. They also have give-a-ways. We have made most of them and travel 80 miles each way, staying overnight in the back parking lot. We have been getting around 13mpg, so it is costing us around $45 for gas. We also saw the band Kansas up in Bayfield, Wisconsin. We do love our music. Thinking of naming the toyhome- "the Music Box".

I just got my 1990 Toyota Dolphin V-6. I got 13.5mpg going through somewhat hilly country. We kept the speed to around 55mph. We have it a little loaded- microwave, jacks, etc..... Will be using another tank full of gas mid-week, Will check it again.

Just bought this beaut' this spring- 1990 Toyota Dolphin. I am the second owner. We just came back from our maiden voyage- We Love It! You will see us roaming around Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin. Since we love our music, you may find us at a concert or parked next to a bar.

Very useful info. We love our tunes andwant to upgrade radio and speakers. Crutchfield has some good buys. I was wondering how hard it is to replace front/dash speakers? I have a manual coming soon from ebay and am hoping it has some info...Thanks, AL
