Yes if you get a boat a small camper would be nice. Pulling a trailer limits that depending on where you live. If I still lived in Alberta I could pull a boat behind the 5th wheel.

Your lucky to have enough teeth to see the dentist Chris, next time I go the last 4 uppers are coming out, damned meds and no flouride in the water.

Flower power in your neck of the woods Steve, must be nice
I'm just lucky one of the dentists here is one that I can see.

Thanks Steve. We like it. Maybe a little more than we really need but it is nice and roomy.

I'm trypanaphobic and have a really difficult time even letting the dental assistant near me with the needle. The one they use in the upper pallete is the worse.

Nice looking unit Chris, how long and heavy is it. Probably will be auction shopping for mine

I'll be using a 78 F350 on a 89 dually chassis with a 88 F450 rear axle and suspension with a 460, 5spd. Theres a RV cam and performer intake with some ignition improvement already done on the motor but still want to keep the trailer to 10,000 in case I run into mountains or an aggressive highway.

My brother has a hotrod dually diesel that he pulls his boat with. He's a self incorporated fully liscenced mechanic so he has no problems servicing his truck. I don't know squat about diesels so that dq's me from servicing them and I can't afford the rates if anything goes wrong.

Cats are fighting for some reason today, first time in 5 years so I'm off for a while to keep them apart. TTYL Chris
