I wasn't sure where else to post this here in the sub-forum and didn't feel like it needed it's own thread, so here it is...

A friend of mine sent me this and I thought it would be a good idea to post it here...

Purpose: Newly available pass to public lands, campgrounds, parks, etc...

Title: America the Beautiful - National Parks & Federal Recreational Lands Military Pass

Great set-up! Can't wait to be towing my Momentum 395 with a 450....if Ford ever schedules it!

Nice camping spot, where is that?

Merry Christmas!

Love the layout of the 395! It’s Sowell Creek Campground near Dublin, Texas. It’s a COE park.

With 2022 coming to an end, I thought I’d throw up a few pics from our adventures this past year. In spite of losing about 5 months dealing with a frame issue, it was a pretty good camping year! On to to 2023, Happy New Year everyone!



Interlake RV Park, Rhinebeck, NY


Dry camping at Barber Motorsports Park


Foscue Creek Campground (COE), Demopolis, AL


Sandy Creek Campground (COE), Jasper, TX


My spotter and my truck, both have been awesome!

The beauty and geographical diversity of this country never ceases to amaze me.

I hope some day to join the 5th wheel ranks and see more of it. They are just so damn expensive though.

Wait a few months. The bottom WILL fall out. A repo guy told me they are starting to get busier with new trucks. Especially the ones with $1000/mo payments.

Yeah, I bought the 2019 in my avatar back in October for less than half of what new ones are going for. I really cant see any justification for the prices on new units. I do believe they will fall pretty quickly. Plus, mine is a pre-Covid unit, and anyone who tells you that doesn't mean anything is full of it. There is a very recognizable drop in quality during the Covid years which has not rebounded in the post-covid years.
