GPnAZ,
Having been in your camper, I can say that I have TC envy of the first water. You have a great setup: Compact and gorgeous inside. For a Lance, it's so well thought out. For a hardside, it's a great set up for off-road and all-season camping. Not too heavy. You chose well. I too feel cooler just seeing your pix. Looking ahead, you should get great service even in a couple feel of snow, what with lockers all around and mongo off-road grabbing tires. The low mpg is the trade off between a gasser and and oil burner. Unloaded, a gasser is great. Fine acceleration and nimble. Load it up to the max and the mpg numbers and power plummet quickly. An oil burner just says, "Duh, what happened?" and suffers little when loaded to the max (if you keep the speed down). Of course, the diesel is still an 1100 pound boat anchor you must carry around, thru thick and thin. We pick our poison.
It was great to see youse guys at OX2013.
Hope to see you down dee road.
regards, as always, jefe
