Mobile lounging: helmet required

(Alternate title: My half-hearted attempt to get a pretty store-owner's attention)

Hi, I've been depressingly unsuccessful in my search for a very specific piece of furniture. I was about to abandon my efforts, but I stumbled on Hunt & Gather's website and figured it was worth a chance to send an inquiry.

It's kind of hard to describe, but I'm looking for something very similar to the Orlando Sectional that I see in your online gallery. Everything about it—its style, a shape that suits my body, cushions—is nearly perfect. 

I want it in a camouflage motif. Not so much Desert Storm camo, but more of a cold-weather-type look—like snow-camo, I guess (like in the movie, Spies Like Us). Also, does the Orlando Sectional have wheels? I definitely want wheels. Especially if the wheels can be modified or upgraded. I wouldn't expect you all to be able to offer that service, but it would be a bonus if I could trick out the sectional wheels—maybe after I had it for a couple months or something. I'd probably have to get some custom rims, but I can deal with that during Phase 2.

Other than that, the only other deal-breaker is that ottoman-looking thing attached at the one end. Do you think that could be customized to contain a refrigeration unit? Or even just an icebox where I could keep things at a safe temperature for consumption? I usually like to have an ample variety of fish and fish-like food in pretty close range when I'm really relaxing. And I don't necessarily need helmet storage right now, but I'm sure I'll want it eventually—especially if Phase 2 comes together and I can drive it as I'm currently envisioning. Not to give you TMI, but sometimes I need to wear a helmet. Especially when I drive things.

Anyway, if you think you can help me, please let me know. Otherwise, thank you kindly for your time and have a very blessed day.

William

William,

What you are asking for is plausible in many respects but could be a bit costly....
I do actually have a sectional (not the Orlando) that has a storage in one arm that you could modify a cooler into.
please feel free to stop in as we really need to go over all this in person! It's sounds like an interesting challenge but that what we like here!

take care!
