Bittersweet day...

Well, a bit of an up 'n down day, today. After almost 2 years, I've sold my trusty old Komfort. Lots of good memories in her, but hoping to make new ones in a newer and, hopefully, better rig. Now, got to =find= one!

    Sucked that it took almost 2 full years to get the Komfort sold. Was that d@mn low-profile that killed me. I =seriously= thought about scrapping the top, salvaging all that I could, and =building= a new FW on that heavy Zieman frame. Hell, a 29', single 14' slide, low profile FW that GROSSES 11,360 lbs? Full Al cage with 16" on-center studs. A real beast... I'm looking at rigs 2-3' longer, with 3 slides and >12' tall that gross 500-600 lbs =less=! Crazy.

  • My wife teared up when our BigFoot trailer pulled away with its new owner.
  • Congrats on the sale Lyle!! You've been wanting to upgrade for a while, but much easier to do when not trading. Now you have the option of going a greater distance to look at, maybe purchase, and driving truck back to pick her up. I hope you find just the right one! Enjoy the search!
