I've posted somewhere in this thread before, but we had it out on the road again recently and I can't resist taking pictures of it. Truck is a 2019 250 Lariat Ultimate CCLB and the camper is a 2018 Sport Trek 252VRD by Venture.

Parking with the Big Dogs! That's where I go at any truck stop. I feel a little "small" but it's the easiest place to park.

I do the same thing. I like having plenty of room to park and maneuver, if need be. Plus I can leave it running while I run inside to Subway and grab a sandwich and I don't feel bed about the noise and smell.

I also like to fill up at the truck filling stations. More room and maneuverability again, with the added benefit of larger nozzles on the fuel pump handles.

its a 30FKS Sunnybrook. Its right at maximum weight of what the truck is rated for, so an F250 would be preferable. This one is a 4 season camper, so it has the added insulation, heating components, basement, slide out, etc.. The Fiberglass makes it heavier as well.
It says it will sleep 6 people, but it would be 6 small bodies. The camper is very well made. I sort of inherited this one from my parents last fall, due to my dad passing and my mother not wanting to put herself in danger of pulling it without experience. I might have picked a smaller unit if I had chosen it, just for the weight difference if nothing else.

Looked at the Living Vehicle at the Pomona RV Show back in October. I thought it was the coolest RV I had ever seen. That is an awesome set-up you've got!

I looked at it based on his post. I too had never heard of it. It's different for sure. The interior is a little too contemporary for my taste but it's nice looking.

Thanks! Yes LV is not for everyone but we love the contemporary look and greater emphasis in design on longer trips off hook ups.

Here is the link to the website for those who have not heard of it before as well as a few pics from our delivery back in October.

pgordon888, I really like the cabinet latches in your LV trailer. ATC uses something similar. I'm rather disgusted with the overly optimistic latches in my toy hauler.

Thanks. Those are ATC latches. After building the first few runs on their own, LV now has ATC contract manufacture the LV per LV's design specs. Those specs were developed from the custom Airstream work Hoffman did for years prior where the awesome Airstream exterior design became the real limiting factor on interior utility. The LV has an insane amount of interior space for a 27 foot TT but the downside is that it is a tall and boxy toy hauler style exterior and can't be towed with a 1/2 ton pick up or SUV like an Airstream. However, the f350 makes it a very easy tow even when fully loaded.

I thought the cabinets looks similar. It says a lot that they contracted ATC to build the trailer. I reviewed the ATC site again tonight and I noticed they have a couple of additional insulation options available. It would be nice to see that encapsulated into an "Arctic" or "4 Season" option.
