Looks great but my wife would never go for it. She refused to ever go anywhere again in my truck camper as it was too small. The truck camper had two slides and weighed over 5,000 pounds. It was huge for a truck camper. So I sold it and got a Momentum toy hauler. Well, I figure my cart weighs about 950# so my 800-1200 bars will do fine and I feel no difference in the truck. I tow it with a regular hitch when there is nothing on the deck with no sway and you don’t even know it’s there. It fits us fine and you must know that no two women are the same....lol. I wish I could afford a $60K momentum and probably the $80k truck to pull it, but the same family memories can be made in a tent and hopefully I can retire at the right age 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I have always said the size, brand or floor plan of a camper does not matter as long as it fits the owners needs and budget and they enjoy it, that is what matters........making family memories is now something I should add.

Totally agree. Our downstairs needs to be painted (it’s an ugly old color) and we’ve had quotes to get it done (we have a lot of wood work so it’s a PITA) and its always well vacation or paint? Vacation always wins, my kids are going to remember trips more than a fresh coat of paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh sure we could have chipped away at it a bit at a time, but we've had a lot of AMAZING vacations and experiences in those years. And those rooms look just fine now, so... :) Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The grand plan is find more land, less house, lower cost of living... so we can keep affording trips to Disney. fladogfan aka Gretchen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mmfancipher 31 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Yes, we've been able to go places because we had the camper. Hotel rooms for 6 for a week or more get very expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
