jplante4 : Thanks for those links. I will have to check out a few local to me to test the validity of the list. I had read about the less traction debate for a dually, but as the wife kept going larger and larger with the camper, the dually was the only option. So far we have been getting 11 mpg without the camper so i am disappointed with that, but there's sacrifices all over this game.
Camp woof: yeah i dream about it all the time for the past 40 years or so...! I am currently out of work on disability so i view quite a number of youtube videos on fishing Alaska and other remote areas. Bought some flyfishing stuff (haven't flyfished since i was in high school) and am looking forward to spending some time learning to tie flies.
AGM batteries vs. LiFePO4 vs. standard lead/Acid... paid for AGM but reading has me leaning towards lead/acid as the maint isn't really that much and the difference in life suposedly isn't that far apart. i guuess it all depends on which website you look at. I ordered the AGM and just may keep it that way, but i'll decide tomorrow when i head to the dealer to have the camper installed!
