His camper is really cool. The designers took advantage and did a great job of outfitting it with creature comforts fit for it's size. It's packed with goodies but not cluttered. and with the tip out it's got quite an advantage. |

Wow, the stalkers must be so jealous. Glad you had a great time. Love the camper too, looks like the ones we are looking at. Not so pretty with the lines but real functional... Also looking at class b's... We've been very happy with this one. I think it's well constructed, and the suspension system is the same as used on much bigger and heavier trailers. We've toyed with the idea of something like this: http://www.travelizmo.com/archives/g...nter-legend-cl... But, I like the idea of towing something with a pickup that I can use for something besides towing a trailer. With the Class B, I'd have a lot of money tied up in something with only one purpose. That's my line on that. (But, if Eisboch had given me a deal back when, I'd probably own one right now.) I definitely like the Mercedes Sprinter chassis, with the diesel. Lots of power. The new ones have a six-cylinder. Yeah, that is the class b type I am talking about as we could still use it for an everyday vehicle too. One of the other options I am seriously considering is trading in my Jeep for a Pickup truck, and then get a slide in camper for it. Of course we still have the issue of the bikes, and like I said before, I don't want a toy hauler... I don't sleep with bikes -- OH, I could do the 105 footer, but I would hate to waste the last few seconds of my life with my eyes closed, screaming like a little girl... A pickup is what I'm quickly becoming in the market for. I'm liking the Chevy 2500 HD diesel more and more, even if Obama does own it. But, the damn things are expensive! Don't know if I would buy a new one. I have had great luck with 20,000 mile vehicles in my days. I usually end up with something 2-3 years old with 12 (iirc) to 20, 25,000 miles. Then I sell 'em before they get too many miles. The 06 I drive now only has 50,000 and aside from some track dirt, is in great shape to trade in. With the price of new ones, I may do the same. I'll check Carmax later and see what they've got. Chevy has added some new things this year. Oh, and BTW, the Utah pictures are up 'over there' also. -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking. |

Get a lava flow etc. over the sandstone. Then the rocks fall off the cliff as it erodes from under the cap stone. Then the lower area where the rock fell, erodes from under the hard rock leaving a balancing rock. See a lot around Lee's Ferry on the Colorado. |
