Nice rig you have there! Congrats, and hope you get many years of enjoyment from it!

 

Thanks Gigger. Going to try and make a big show today in Phoenix. Just to get our feet wet. Won't be real serious unit late summer or early fall. Thanks for the advice.

 

Right on Tommy, it pays to shop around........ if you see one you like copy down the model number on the outside by the man door,
after a while it becomes a blur........

Duane are you gonna wait for a 2016

 

Thanks Tommy.
We very much like this floor plan in our trailer. We shopped quite a few brands to find the one we wanted. Like someone else said here, take your time and find the right fit.

Got Goliath out of storage (parked out at the farm) today and got him into the driveway..
Now the real work begins!

 

Finally got out camping this weekend for our first trip with the new unit.....................despite high 20's at night, we had a decent time. 45-55 during the day, great for hiking, but not so much for sitting outside. We made an attempt but soon gave up and went inside. We found a few minor issues, but nothing major.


This was Hickory Run State Park here in PA. This was the first full hookup site they installed, I guess because it was easy, the showerhouse is right behind the trailer, along with a dumpster across the street from the truck. Also someone missed the memo that the sewer connection should not be uphill from the trailer..........................Not a site we'd take again.


We found the rest of the full hookup sites they are just about done with and those are much better. Thrilled with how good the rig rides and 6.7 handles it. Though I have a leaking left airbag that needs investigated.

 

Randy.......That little trailer should be easy for your truck..........

Good looking Rig........

 

Good looking rig Scott........
Have fun....

The 1st year is find and fix all the stupid oopses the factory made.

 

Scott - that's what it's all about man! Good job - I hope to be camping in a coupla months!

Roy - Big-Foot doesn't even break a sweat with Goliath behind him....

I did raise the hitch up one bolt hole to keep the pin-box from fouling the bed rails like what happened last fall... Grrrr.... I will be adding the bags soon too..

 

Here we are at our favorite campground near our home. Finally got the rack for the kayaks so we don't always have to take two vehicles. We were there for 9 days, well, my family was as I went back and forth to work. Here are a few pics.

 

WOW I can see why you like it there, great pics

 

Wow nice place...That is nice kayak rack...I have been looking for something like that.

 

Wow - Great spot!!! Thanks for sharing the pics!!

 

AJ, I bought a Curt front receiver from another forum member here. Very easy install and come through the front valance, not under it. The upright is a Rhino Rack TLoader rack (looked long and hard at the Thule Goal Post Rack-hardly any difference) and the racks on the top of the truck are Thule. I have a 1/2" piece of rappelling rope spiraled around the front bar to stop the wind noise when the kayaks aren't up there. I am still going to get a cradle and 12k winch to use in the receiver(the pull rating is only 9k pounds on receiver) to have for emergencies. I love this setup. Been wanting to do it for quite a while. Here are some pics.






And really cools off the interior

 

any advice on what spare parts i need in the tool box before i head out to Co.(ie sensors) that may be an issue on a 3000+ mile trip?

i have a pure stock 2012 w/ 49,ooo miles early (10/11 build) F350 and will be towing the small toy hauler( no more than 5000 lbs)
