Note from moderator,
Please keep pics to a max 640 width as a favor to those with smaller screens and dial up. "IF" you can not figure out how to make the pics smaller, post them, PM me or hit 'notify moderator' button, say you can not resize pics, and I aka blt2ski/Marty will go in and edit/fix.
Enjoy everyones pics

Nice looking and functional combination. Can't say I see to many trucks as yours, with such a short wheelbase. Short trailer does good with short wheelbase.

Since Webshots is history along with most of my pics, here's a condensed album of my tow vehicles pulling the camper of the day.

TV is a 2000 Ford Box Van that has a built in Onan generator, 40 gal Water tank and Karcher pressure washer, Air compressor with 5 gallon air tank. To tow the toy hauler I had to instal a F450 hitch with custom made brackets and cut access through the custom stainless bumper plus put on Air Bags. Hitch and air bags were done to raise the hitch 4 inches to stop occasionally dragging the tongue on pavement

Thanks dmax_83, I picked mine up at Lynch in Burlington.


looks like we're close. I'm in Powers Lake.


Very close - I'm just down the road in Burlington. This will be our first full summer with the TT and have a few trips planned but we still like the spur of the moment local weekends out at Bong Rec. The park is growing up nicely.


We camp at Bong several times a year, it's a nice park and it's close to home.

I have owned 2 Suburban 2500's and loved them. One of the trucks I have had with the least issues (exp for hot start) from the factory.
Many replace the leaky OEM injectors with newer Bosch's if they become a problem.

Many of the pictures from the past of car camping, tents, Scamps and Colemans are gone. At least there is a history behind this tow vehicle going from TH to TC.

Hey Bedlam,
What a great pictorial! This would make for a great forum on "Past, Present, and Future (?)" Hah! I could do the same.
