Just pulled the trigger on a 2011 80GS.

Congrats and Enjoy

I don't know much about Adventurers, but if it's in good shape, that seems pretty good. Congrats!

Ratchet straps will get it home. Get out and check them every once in a while. Enjoy the camper!

Congrats, drive safe home and ENJOY!

I looked at new Adventurer and the build quality was excellent, safe drive and post a few pics when you are done setting it up.

Congratulations on your new to you camper!.. and welcome to the forum! Enjoy!

Well, here it is. I hardly felt it on the truck. The 7' width make it very easy to see around. I won't need different mirrors. And as I suspected, I won't need a hitch extension for my trailer. It is really clean. It's perfect for 1 guy for a few days.

I learned a few things already about truck campers.

1) If you buy one used, do not pay for it until it has been successfully removed from the sellers truck. If he damages it, it's still yours. Nothing happened, but it was a little stressful as the seller had some difficulties getting his truck out from under it.

2) Buy one with electric jacks or plan to convert. I can't believe how long it takes to load and unload with a drill. And it seems like all 4 jacks lifting or lowering at the same time would put a lot less stress on the camper and jacks. I already order the kit to convert.

So I've got 1 four wheeling trip planned in November, then I will be putting it away until April. :(

Enjoy your new camper and extended ATV trips!

Must have missed this the first time, congrats and GOOD advice for newbies.

Just occurred to me, the site I used to host the picture requires a log in to view pics. So I may be the only one to see the pic. So I hosted it somewhere else. :S
