That looks like a mini house with plenty of room to bring lots of rocks back

A good portable black light with both short and long wave would a great tool to bring with you depending where you camp fluorescent rocks are a great addition to any rock collection Those are crazy expensive!!! I’d love to have one though. Where do you live?

As soon as I get a 3/4 ton truck to haul the camper I’ll start bringing my Genie and small slab saw with me.

I’d love to have one though. Yes the good ones are but in round rock Texas there’s a company that sells reasonable I bought mine for 79.00 plus shipping it came with both long & short wave and a starter kit I’ll look for you when I get back for the name of the company when I get back from the store they even have a mid wave bulb and run on 4 D size batteries The more colors in a specimen the more there worth and people do collect them

I’d love to have one though. Where do you live? Here’s my uv light the only difference between that one and mine is mine takes 4 D batteries and that one is 3 D batteries The only thing I don’t like about this is while the flashlight end is nice and bright after several uses the uv part quickly starts to get weaker. These require with a lot of use new batteries as soon as the batteries start draining down you should/need to replace them for long use. This is a very handy unit for in field use the flashlight is also a major plus but will not tell you the batteries are getting weak you can tell when the uv light gets weaker

I actually picked up a decent long/short uv light off Amazon for around 15 if I remember. Was pleasantly surprised. Can link when I get home.

That looks like a mini house with plenty of room to bring lots of rocks back We’ll have to ship most of our rocks home I’m afraid. Camper is plenty big BUT my F150 can only haul so much. I see a F250 in my near future! Not before January though.

Yes the camper will be hard on the 150F but filling it full of rocks probably not a good idea At least your going in comfort
