No one's crazy to go and find what is right for them.
There are not many TC dealers here in the midwest, and one would honestly have to travel a good distance east or west to find any of them from my position here in SE South Dakota.
That said, I went about 550 miles one way to get mine. Made two trips from home and back cause didn't want to rush work and needed to leave the old tailgate at home, so it required a second trip.
So all told two trips to Denver area and both were welcome and enjoyable in getting my unit. 550 round trip each way and two trips = 2,200 enjoyable miles getting away from winter in South Dakota.
The only bad part is having it home now and too darn cold to do anything with it at the moment. Good grief -8 below zero right now.
Yes it was travel or end up with something that I did not want. By the way, we saw only one truck camper on the road all the way there and back. It was so old and dilapidated that we could not identify it.
We saw one Lance in the campground that we stayed at Sunday night in Kansas. This area of the country just doesn't seem to be TC territory.
I have to add this. I had never been through Kansas before, and MY LORD what a long grueling road that was. We were so sick of I 70 that we took US 50 back through Dodge City. It was no better. Kansas is a very bleak place in the middle of winter. Next time we head west it will be through Nebraska South Dakota or Oklahoma.
And yeah its freezing here in Northern Kentucky. We have been living in a meat locker for four months now. Cant wait to get the camper into the mountains.
