I feel so sad for you guys. We got our new fiver in October. Camped in November, skipped December, camped in January, February, skipped March, and fishing season in the Sierra opens in 3 weeks.

There has got to be one good thing about living in CA.

Just got back from 8 days at Texas Motor Speedway. Everything worked out great and the generator and air conditioner got a workout. 90's during the day, and humid 70's at night and wind of over 30 the whole time. But it was still fun. With tents and such all tied down, it was still a great time outside. Leaving in 2 weeks for 4 days at the lake. Love RVing!

Yeah, this is what this is all about.

Getting new tires and the brakes were done last week. New break-away battery and spare. Now, it's time to enjoy.

kmonty2,
That's sweet! What kind and size of trailer do you have? How does it drive behind your truck?

I've got a 30' Zinger (by Crossroads) and am waiting for my F-250 PSD to be delivered. I can't wait to see how the truck pulls the camper. I'm using a Nissan Armada to tow now. It's rated at 9000 lbs and the trailer is 7500, so it struggles in the mountains.
