Really nice looking truck and camper and really breath taking scenery behind you. Where is that? I always tell my parents one day I will camp out in in the middle of nowhere and where you at is what I imagined.

As a matter of fact I have been doing some reading on that spring swap and it sounds like it will end up on my (ever growing) to do list!

That should get the job done! Nothing like owning an X(truck that is!!!) One of these days when you want it to handle and pull better, do the V/B spring swap where you put F250 springs under it! WOW what a difference! Happy camping in that awesome rig!!!

Joe,
The image of our Eagle Cap Camper and Ford E350 is taken at Valley of Fire State Park east of Las Vegas and a few miles north of Lake Mead NRA. Its one of our favorite Winter and Spring camp spots....very quiet in winter.

Nice - I have been looking at what would be a better tow vehicle to use instead of the "wife-required" suburban we have now, which, coincidentally, replaced the 1/2-ton model we sold to get a 3/4-ton to tow our new RV. How do you like the 5.9L Cummins, what tranny do you have, and what kind of towing fuel economy do you see? What trailer & how heavy? I found a 2005 SLT in nice shape for sale nearby with a 5.9L Cummins & a shell on the back, which might sway the wife's desire to have enclosed cargo area. I want to get an idea of what the actual cost per mile will be with diesel vs. the cost per mile with our current gas TV.
