We purchased the rig is 2008 after it was retired from service

An ambulance for Hendricks County

How long did the restoration take?

The full restoration took about 2 years overall and my husband is still always tweaking things!

How many people do you have tailgate with you?
We have approximately 30 core tailgaters with Another 50 -75 that come through our tailgate every game. We go through a ton of food and booze on home games!

  

What are the cool features?

The outside wrap that my husband designed with the help of a graphic artist is really cool. He replaced all the red lights to blue lights.  The inside is carpet is green turf with football field markers and the front console and visors are done in brown football material.  He custom made brackets that he

Affixed to the back doors for our 2 42" TV's hang on to watch the games in the lot.

What is your favorite feature?
My favorite feature has nothing to do with the rig its the outdoor potty and potty tent we bought so we don't have to use the stinky prot-a-pots! My husband's favorite feature is once we have all the tents set-up we over 500 square feet of tailgating fun! 

What kind of plans do you have for the future?
We would like to travel to more away games with the rig and meet some other crazy tailgaters! 

How long have you been tailgating?

We have been tailgating for about 10 years
