That's one of the reasons I don't want a fiver. The truck it would take to lug it around would be drinking fuel like an 18 wheeler even when I wouldn't be towing, which would be most of the time since I wouldn't be moving more than 2-4 times a year for less than 200 miles (if that). Then there are the steps inside the fiver. Going up and down them would get old in a hurry.
You got a few points there. But for towing any size trailer you will need a pickup or BIG SUV too. Today's passenger cars pull nothing. Too bad there is no diesel fuel for the modern turbo diesels in this country. Those engines are very economical. In Germany, even a Mercedes can get 40 to 50 miles per gallon with such an engine. But you need modern diesel fuel.
I started out camping with just an army surplus sleeping bag someone gave me in 1964. Progressed thru tents to a popup, then moved up to a Travel Trailer in 1997.
We're now on our 3rd Travel Trailer and have a hefty 3/4T diesel truck to pull it!
The Tundra is a nice truck and very capable. Has this beautiful V8 of the Lexus (tuned down). That would be better than any old Ford. For trailers you have a huge choice. But all the better ones are very expensive - e.g. the Airstreams.
Sorry about the eyes mate and just as an idea what about getting some of those surgeons magnifying headsets I don't know how much they would cost or even a pair of the magnifiers we use in the emergency room for spotting foreign objects in eyes they are just really good and the ones with really good light sources and the LED powered type ones type honestly would keep you up to it for a long time . I think even the jewellers ones would be handy too.

I have German friend in town who does a lot of lapidary work and uses these sorts of magnifiers ans swears by them:)
Thanks John for the suggestions. I actually have one set of glasses that magnify and I can see little things pretty well with it. What I have not found yet is a set of glasses that lets me see well at a distance which I would need for driving. On a good day when it is not too sunny, I can still drive, but as soon as there is bright light (sun or headlights coming at me), I have a problem. Sunglasses help a bit, but of course not at night.
For the work on my 22" screen I am OK. I set the DPI to 150% and that works well. I will be happy if it does not get any worse. But there is no guarantee.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water this sort of crap comes up. Well if what it is saying is true and Windows is going to be tablet based then I for one will go Linux and they can stick it
