We are Coming to the "Dark Side"

We went the full gambit.....TC, 5er, Moho, TC, and we are going back to a 5er. We have been doing a truck camper for a while, and it worked for us, for the RVing that we did. Times are changing and the way we RV are too. We will be taking the TC out one last time over the holiday weekend, then the whole setup will go up for sale, since the truck is setup for the TC and to tow behind it with a Torklift Superhitch.

We will be buying a pre-electronic 3/4 ton diesel tow rig to pull the Alpenlite and add a hitch to flat tow our Scout behind it when needed. We spent hours yesterday sitting in the 5er and re-designing it to our needs......and I have to say that we are kinda excited to start the project. We've had the Aplenlite for a little over a year, but haven't done anything with or to it. We bought it, because it was a great deal and had the floorplan we liked. I will start a build restore thread in a few weeks, when we start the tear down.......cant wait!! ;)
  • Go to my post on 'RV LIFESTYLE' about "are we all on the darkside?" for some interesting prospectives on this topic. Gary
  • OK I have done a little reading and correct me if i am wrong. If your group has truck campers and you buy a fifth wheel you have gone to the dark side. If your group has gassers and you get a diesel you have gone to the dark side. If every one else uses wood blocks and you start using lynx levelers you'd be going to the dark side. Basically when you upgrade above your peers you go to the dark side. Like when somone becomes a cop and you never see them again cause they always hang out with all their cop buddies. I think I got it!?
