Saw a Palomino Mavrick TC with a slide yesterday (Saturday) driving into downtown Tulsa. A rare sighting in this TC-poor part of the country! Looked well outfitted on a Ford I think, with bikes mounted on front. Guess I get excited easily! HA!

I rarely see them around SE PA, either. I get a LOT of attention with the TC. People do double-takes, stop and look at it, walk around it...

We went to several local RV shows looking for TCs before we bought. Even the dealers 'never heard' of a TC. At a show in NJ, a dealer told me (true story): "we don't carry those - there's just no market for them. Everyone wants a trailer... Oh wait, I remember we took one as a trade once - boy that thing started a bidding war."
...
Uh, that's the opposite of "no market for them", isn't it?

We finally saw a Maverick at a show in PA - people were mobbing it, amazed that such a thing existed. One lady climbed the steps and loudly proclaimed, "oh my God - it's like an RV in here!!"

Your not alone I got excited easily as well. I like seeing everyone's camper's when they head out on Friday and come back Sunday. One thing nice about Colorado is that there is no shortage of them, its like eye candy rolling down the road every weekend.


Don't see hardly any around Tulsa. Especially with a slide! We drove all the way to Oregon to get ours!
Forgot to check the tag to see where it was from...
