mount dave, the 2003 doghouse, is 8" wider than the 2002 doghouse. I sold my 2002 model and got the 2003. there' s a good bit more room, plus it has a zip in floor, gear pockets on each side, and a strap with loops around the outside to stick limbs in to brush it in. I' d recomend it over the 2002, but the 2003 model is heavier than what it' s advertised to. it' s closer to 20 lbs, than 14 lbs.
