A long good bye :-(
Well after selling my truck and camper in the spring and a lot of looking it is time to say good bye to the world of truck campers. It was fun but I am now the owner of a new to me class c motor home...

Thanks everyone.
Yes Happy Trails it is from CC or CA in your neck of the woods.
The sales guy was NOT HELPFUL, it is a good thing that I learned what I had with the truck camper as he knew nothing about how to operate the camper. I don't think he has ever camped let alone in one of his units. He gave me the manual that they give to the renters but that was it, I pulled panels to find the other things that I needed to know like water shut off, water heater by pass, etc.
The fluids look good. I actually had it in to my mechanic last week and he only found two things - one was it needed and alignment and the other was a light bulb on the license plate was out (which is funny as it had an out of province inspection and it says on the form that it was okay). Alignment done and I will check the wiring for the plate light. He also repacked the wheel bearings as he did not think that had been done.
For what I paid I can put a lot into it and still be ahead of what others are going for, the motor and transmission have a 12 month 18,000 km warranty as well - if they will back that, I am not sure how trustworthy the warranty is.
One thing that I cannot get over is how wide the unit is with the mirrors. I have trimmed a few trees with them driving on the narrow mountain roads. :B
Matho I thought of that. Was thinking of a new bumper with a winch mount and some LED light bars....... you can sell off the 4x4 but cannot take the 4x4 out of the blood!
