Out of retirement
Got our dream machine almost done but done enough to get it out on the road again. It's going over the million mile mark in the easy life.

On this truck we took everything out of the sleeper, installed double pane camper windows and captain's chair's for our daughters. We were at a campground and the owner was having a fit about me staying hooked up. He said the truck was going to crush site. The funny part is the truck only weighs 15,000 and some change, the camper weighs in at 18,000 and some change. 🤪

NICE UNIT! I was thinking of moving my hitch back like that but then I'd be over my 65'. It's nice not having to stop at DOT or scales.

Most of us are set up like that, it helps to be able to carry a car, also lots are a bit long that way but few have had any issues. Heck some go long enough to carry a Jeep length ways but then you are WAY to long!!!! Check out the rally as there is a lot of knowledge among those folks.
