Always happens right after I bought one already.
I hear you! I just bought one before the Rendezvous and it showed up on my doorstep the day I got home. I was going to sell it to replace it with the AA edition but luckily I have 2 spares so I'll see if I can make that work, lol. If no,t selling the plain one shouldn't be challenging at all....

Mike, I don't have the rear mounted spare so I mount mine on the side of my rack and built this PVC inner frame to help it keep it's shape.

A Snow Peak folding chair fits perfectly and does the same trick. Unfortunately it's a bit pricier and more pilferable....
