I live in MT. You can't get there from here without a few passes along the way... Mostly, not quite as gnarly as CO but the truck works... I love driving through flat states...but living in SW MT.

We got a Rockwood withOUT a dinette but has the kitchen bar type set up. We love it. I spend my mornings in there. Ours is flat but I can reach the coffee maker have plugs, out of the way, can look out the door and see the dogs, turn the TV a bit and see it... So glad we didn't get a dinette...

That is a nice campsite...

More than enough truck. Be careful you don't forget it's back there.

And some of them were and still are Marines... AND, I will never own a direct impingement weapon. Nope, all garand, all the time for long guns. "NEVER" let me down. I got STUCK with one of the first POS's in the early 1970's and hate them with a passion... 248 rifle range M14, barely marksman...

Bilstein shocks made a noticable difference? approximate costs, please describe the difference?

"frontal mass of the camper and speed" are the main things I noticed. My last TT was a 29 foot Aspen Trail with a standard suspension. It was around 7K loaded 900 lbs tongue weight. I got the same mpg's with it as the new trailer a 30 foot Rockwood ultra lite I have noticed this year. I did put...

I put BFG KO2's on mine at 18K replacing the "transforces" that rode like round rocks and were already losing tread. The KO2's were the new ones with the 50K warranties verses the older no warranty ones I've previously had. The new ones do dramatically better at maintaining tread vs the first...

OK you got me on speed. I tend to between 70 and 75 and that extra mph does make a big difference. When I got my new TT, I did get 9+ mpg driving 65 on my 500 mile trip home from the purchase point. It makes a big difference. And I've got the weight on you...

Flatlander I'll bet... Try 7 to 8 mpg up here in MT. Oh and 8K lbs 1175 tongue weight. Does your trailer even weigh that much? I am being serious here. You could literally get a Ram 1500 with the six banger Pentastar if you wanted to and get even better gas mileage I'll bet. But I get it. I...

Will hardly break a sweat. Now you at the gas station...every 200 miles...

Beretta 84FS since 1993. Never once failed to fire... Not once. My gun is not poop. Yes, it's a 380, but fits perfectly in my hand and why I got it. And I can shoot the eyes out of a snake at 25 yards with it. I love making cands dance. My gun is NOT poop.

Only problem is its an AR platform weapon. As a Marine issued an A1, after having an M14, I'll pass.
