I have an idea that I'm working on, that should be very cheap, but very clean. If I can pull it off, it might be the perfect solution for the Mombasa / Camping Lab RTTs.

I store my boots/shoes in a mesh bag intended for dish washing (I think they are made by coleman??) But storage is something I can deal with. You mentioned putting shoes on, and taking them off. THIS is the problem I have. Not a problem really, more of a pain the rear to do it in the tent....like you mentioned. Does your idea have a way of 'fixing' this too, or just the storage aspect? I love my tent (same as yours), but there a few little things like this that irk me.

That was at the southernmost end of Anza Borrego Desert State Park. Just a hop, skip, and jump from the Mexico border. This is typically the prime time to go to the desert, but we've been getting an unusually high amount of rain lately. We just happened to get perfect weather that weekend.

Sure - You could do it with wood, but I don't see why you'd want to... If you built the rest of the trailer out of metal, why go with a wooden lid?
To make it out of wood, and have it be as sturdy, it would end up being heavier, and I don't think it would stand up to the elements, and stress very well.
Metal = Stronger, lighter, and permanent.
