Very cool set up. Nice to see something other the trucks.
Here's my little TV:

I took the rear seat out for more storage room.
Then I finished off the rear deck.
Here it is with my o6 LXE A-liner in tow.
I did a few mods to make it a more capable TV including adding: a transmission cooler, a progressive brake controller, an Injen cold air intake, dual e-rams (with a dedicated helper battery and an Optima vehicle battery upgrade,) a header, a high flow cat and a Corsa touring stainless exhaust. I also had the engine and transmission computers "tow tuned." I'm towing at 170% of it's OEM recommended towing capacity, and have been safely for years with these mods.
As a result, it get better gas mileage towing my little camper (23-25 mpg) than most get with their toads. If fuel prices rise to the $7-$10/gallon range as some experts are predicting, (due to the drilling moratorium and if the new cap & tax "energy bill" passes) we may all be looking for tiny, yet capable TVs soon. That, or we'll all be taking really short trips. ๐

My tow rig...
05 Dodge 3500 Dually Larimie, Cummins, Six speed NV5600, Jacobs exhaust brake, B&W Turnover Ball
Currently pulling a Starcraft Antiqua (3500lbs) Probably overkill!!!

Here is my new truck. A 2007 Dodge Mega cab with a 5.9 Cummins.
Lets start with some interior shots:
And then there's the beauty shot.

My F-150 just didn't have the guts to pull my travel trailer the way I wanted. I went on a quest to find the nicest old style 250 or 350 I could find. Last week it finally paid off. I found a 1993 F-250 with 35,000 miles on it. It is just as good looking as a new one. The owner had lost his driving privlidges due to age and had just kept it in a garage. It has never sat outside over night. It's a 351W with the complete towing package and front and back hitches. The PO put new tires on it because he said the originals had dry rot. I started changing all the fluids today and will probably finish Monday.
