Well come on then, two tubs for recovery gear, one has grog in it, in case I get stuck on the beach
of course there are tubs of dive gear just the gear no spares one for specimens of things and junk
With the canopy there is plenty of room for the bodies on top also the canopy came with the car
and what about my fantasy of going to war on society, and sleeping in the back quite unfulfilled
Which will never come to fruition as all my sites are so close to home I'm ashamed to drive there
but not really
Do you like my winch

No, we say engineers can't make a repairable design.

Regarding the inflator pull dump and reliability.
Guy showed up at our normal training site the other weekend. Non tech diver with all the "tech" gear. His wing had a pull dump. I was about to take him for a tour of the site, but his pull dump was free flowing preventing his wing from holding gas. Took me a minute to figure out what was going on. I couldn't even contemplate why anyone would put a pull dump on a wing.
The entire weekend was a nonstop string of problems with his gear "features".
Full disclosure: I was that guy in a past life. I would like to think I know better now, but he still makes his way out now and then.

What was the problem you eluded to? I like pull dumps, but you have to understand they're a simple cable pulling on plastic. If you yank on the damn thing you're likely to damage it. Don't rinse your hose and the cable can rust and break (wife's did that). I like them only because it is right there on my chest where my hands normally relax to since I often have a camera with me. I'm not having to reach back and tilt to get air out at my left butt dump. My current wing (hog) only has the 1 dump valve and I'm too cheap to buy a pull dump that is designed to fit their odd size threads. Raising the inflator is an easy way for wing water ingress and more movement than the butt dump.
