I built my own portable, foldable one for Alpine. santa also used my plans and built one for Mansfield (I think). I'll try to find some pics that I took of the work in progress. Here's the one he built (I think I deleted my pics from my website).

Mine is a little different with a grass mat covering the front and now it also has a roof. It is very sturdy though (this is mine in action)

Ok now this one takes a little longer to tear down and set up. (with everything included about 2 weeks
) But it is still technically portable.

Don't I wish. Would require more time off then I can get. It would litterally take about two weeks to get it ready to roll. Then at least a week to set up again. (two weeks and a flatbed truck to bring the tower too). I am afraid its actual traveling days are over. (Until I win the Lotto in which case I would have a custom rig built to trailer it)

If someone finds out what it costs please post. If it's not a crazy amount you might see one attached to the RV at GW this year!

Each unit is built totaly custom and therefore prices differ. I am trying to get them to give me a ballpark on the one on the website.
