After I almost had a heat stroke last year at Field Day while putting up antennas Cindy and I decided to rent a camping trailer that will let us operate inside with air conditioning. The other issue is our Prius was very comfortable to lay the seats back and go to sleep, our two current vehicles not so much.

We plan on putting the trailer under the pavillion in about the same spot we usually put our operating table, as shown in the photo. Phillip has been parking his motor home at the far east end of the pavillion.

The trailer has a restaurant type booth that we will use for an operating position. The bed for sleeping is not too far away but we hope to hang a blanket up for a room divider so if both Cindy and I wanted to sleep someone else can continue to operate the station.
