Here it is, it's been posted about every time some asks about weight of an AF.

Not sure how much use the truck and camper will get this year. Several of my motorcycling riding buddies, who were also my camping buddies, sold their RVs. One of them sold their motorcycle.
Last year I didn't do any big trips like I've done the previous several years.
I do have a few trips in Washington planned - two of them are to the Lake Wenatchee area - one of which is a smaller scale version of the Overland Expo. It's the Northwest Overland Rally, in Plain, WA. I skipped it last year and kicked myself for not going.
I'm hoping to attend the AF/Northwood rally in June too. June is when all the trips are... that will be a busy month for sure.
