That picture was from the first week of June this year. We love that campground and the Black Hills area, we try to get up there every year. Very popular campground as you say, I made a reservation for the same site for next year as soon as we arrived there this year.

We sold ours in the spring & bought a house. We traveled all over living in places we through we would want be permanent residents. It was very sad selling the 5r. I hope some day in the future we'll get another one. Maybe when we retire.

bought this 2013 Open Range Light to replace the first camper we ever had, a 2004 Jayco Fifth Wheel I got for a bag of peanuts. Amazingly enough I sold it for more than I paid…

Been to hell and back with this one. 2 years ago on our way down to Watoga in WV and we’re about 90 miles to the destination when a car passes by honking and pointing. I look in my side mirror and smoke billowing from the tires.

Long story short the spindle on the axle was fried and had to haul this camper on ONE axle to the park. Took about 6 hours at 15mph. A mobile repair guy helped us with the axle on the side of the road and followed us to the destination. Came back 4 days later with the repaired axle and checked everything else.

I’ve had more flat tires than I wish to talk about and my family is traumatized by that WV trip. We were 5 hours on the side of the road on a crazy downhill stretch plus the single axle ride. I was shot.

This spring I’ll be redoing EVERYTHING as I can’t trust the checklist from the dealer. I’ve been camping all my life and my kids and wife love it. But long trips are likely not in the cards anymore after that one.

Other than that the trailer has been great. 😂

Don’t even know the camper is back there with this beast. Couldn’t be happier with the way it pulls up the mountains.
