Nice blank canvas! I'm too chicken yet to strip our 07 Wildcat. But yours would look good silver with some black accents.

Well this happened. Our 4th boat in 29 years of marriage. When you live on Flathead lake, ya gotta have a boat! Now, mind you, the wife outfishes me everytime but that is okay. I married an outdoorswoman who love to hike, fish, and shoot!
We don't plan on towing a triple here in Montana, but we plan to buy a used Truck Camper for our 2000 F350 7.3L so we can do short hauls to various lakes within the state.

This is a new Hewescraft 20.5 ft with a 150hp Yamaha (biggest motor you can hang on it legally). Also bought a 9.9hp kicker for it. We take delivery after we move into our Dayton, MT home June 17th.

I am not alone!

Tend not to see many other 5th wheels here in the UK, but another one joined us on site in Scotland yesterday.

Just wondering how you're navigating those big rigs on the single lane highways thru the countryside? I remember my travels to Scotland and England/Wales fondly, but negotiating the roads was sometimes a challenge.

It's what I'm used to, you wouldn't believe some of the places we've visited! I always say "if a delivery truck or bus can get there, so can we!"

Nice to see pics of camping across the pond! The wife gets nervous when we get into tight spots with our camper but I reminded her I drove tankers and vans in downtown New Orleans years ago and tight spots are still a challenge for me!

Finally did it !

I was not planning to go with a 5th wheel this year, was going to wait a year or 2 but I ran into a great deal on a lightly used 2017 Flagstaff, and could not say no.
I traded in the travel trailer, and could not be happier. She pulls like a dream. Now I don't know why I was waiting.

At a rest area on I75

At a campground for the maiden voyage
