I just collected a 36' fifth wheel. I was selling my 78 f350 supercab CS but I think I better hang on to it. Now my wife wants me to sell my 76 f250 shortbed CC that's in the sig. They just don't understand. Trucks are like shoes, you need the right one for the ocassion.

Kinda like taking the house with ya!
I graduated from a 9 1/2 ft Lance camper on my F-250 to a 25ft Class C motorhome,
Now I miss the no hassle, easy to deal with, truck camper.......The class C is a beast to handle and tow with.

Since you like 4 wheelers, and snow machines, how about one of these?





It's a 1968 Coot! 4 wheel drive, center articulated, and will go ANYWHERE!

And it's for sale!

The thing is a blast in the mud. When my kids were young I'd take them out and play in the pond and mud. The front tires would sling mud about 10 FEET in the air. My wife would make them take their clothes off on the back porch before she'd let them in the house!

Originally they had a very small Kohler engine in them. I replaced the Kohler with a snowmobile engine with a lot more power, and a lot more speed..........
