That does seem early in a trucks life for seat/interior issues.

John you could do like one of my old customers when I worked for AAA. He and his wife bought a large motorhome for traveling the country with the intent of trading back down to a "small" travel trailer after the big trip. He figured that even though the price tag of close to 500k (it was beautiful w/ multiple slide outs) that they were only going to make 6 or 7 payments on it. He said it was cheaper than renting one.

Monday morning and just plan tired from a great weekend. My son and granddaughter came to the campground and son did all the stuff I've needed to get done, done.

granddaughter had a good time being with her father. They grow fast. She's now 17 going on 18.

Hope everyone had good weekend.
