New guy here... my wife and I have had plenty of campers over the years but we've been on the hunt for a diesel pusher to support our desert/offroad hobby. We've always had a toy hauler and have been envious of the conveniences our friends have with a pusher/trailer setup for their toys.

Anyways, we found one. Exterior is whooped and will get a little love. Interior is great other than needing a new microwave and we're going to remove the TV-portion of the TV cabinet for more countertop space. We'll probably ditch the carpet to make dealing with desert sand a little easier too.

2005 Cruise Air XL 3845TS. Cat C7. Allison Trans. 39k miles.

Time to find an enclosed trailer!

Congrats on your new to you Diesel Pusher. Glad to see your other toy is an old school buggy, like I have. Not a "Rubber Band Side by Side" like EVERYONE has nowadays (including all my friends that keep telling me to get one.)JK side by siders.

Those people dont know the feeling of 800hp and triple bypass suspension

I went the other way! I lived the SXS life, built a few of them up, but they dont compare to the sandrail/sandcar world when it comes to sand!

I understand the argument for the trail banger crowd though... SXS are the ticket for the mountain trails around us.

When I drive my friends SxSs, I'm kinda looking for a clutch & a shifter. Almost boring to just put it in "Drive", then see a hill, just push 4x4. I like having to think about which gear I want to be in. Plus I like when they say "I'm amazed you got up that hill".
