Our new to us 2008 Starcraft Antigua 195 CK with our 2011 Ford Explorer. Brought it home 100KM (60M mile) from the dealer in rain and wind and it towed very well.
I know the trailer nose is istting a little high but it will come down when we load the trailer.

Lightweight towing, and heavy payload. Carry whatever in the K3500 truck, and have 1500lbs leftover in the trailer. So far had 2 parents, 2 grand parents, infant, toddler, and black lab have their own bed. Thats the number one reason why I went for BH Hybrid.

Love the truck, always been a fan of the 90s GMs.
My old 96 K2500:

Kids (3) were getting cramped in the extended cab, so I bought this 97 K2500 Sub because I couldn't find any CCLB trucks:

Both have the 6.5L TD, but with the HTT we have now, I could 'downgrade' to a 5.7 gasser if I found one.

Congrats on the Antigua and enjoy. It's a nice unit, we looked at that one and went with the Shamrock 19 instead, very similar.
Enjoy the long weekend.

The old camper looks spacious. I originally was in the market for a big pop-up, but got a great deal on the hybrid.

we looked at the Shamrocks sister and brother (Rockwood and Surveyor) and it basically came down to the white interior as the final selling feature - the boss liked the white interior.
We are very much looking to our first weekend out. Spent tonight putting all the gear in it. Amazing how much room we have over the pup, not a jigsaw puzzle anymore.
Have a great Canada Day weekend, we are off to Emily provincial park for our shakedown trip

It's a 98 K3500 CC witht he 5.7 gasser. It was beat to piss, rusted to the gills, dents, and stunk like hog heavon. I restored it cosmetically, and deskunked the interior. All is well for our 4 year old, 4 month old, 7 year old black lab, dw, in a CC from 2 decades back.

I'd like to upgrade soon to a larger HTT... a bunkhouse model maybe 4 for 5 feet longer.
