New TV (to me)

I havent been here in a while, but Ive been lurking/reading...
Pulled the trigger on a "new" (to me) truck. Found a good deal on a 2015 F-350 Dually with only 14k miles. I had a 2005 Excursion that was great for us but it was time to move on/up. It gave me 5 years and 100k miles of trouble free enjoyment. We are down to 2 kids left (and they are in their mid teens) from 6. So we dont need all the seats and the bed of a truck sure is handy. We also hope to move up to a 5-er in 3 or 4 years.
Now to go change the signature...
Keep true to the vision living in your head.

Are we to assume you haven't towed the camper with it, yet? If not, boy are you in for a nice surprise. :B

Welcome to the world of towing with cruise control. Very relaxing.

You should see the extra cross brace from underneath, that has the puck system for attachment. It will also have the extra 7-pin plug on the bed side.

Thanks Jerry. I will look for those. Im not sure about the extra 7-pin connector in the bed, since the bedliner is there.

Congrats on the new to u truck, and to being down to just two kids!! I had a cousin with seven kids. He said "I don't understand it, I just hang my pants on the bed post, and she is pregnant again".

Anyway, you'll enjoy that new truck, especially when getting a FW. I hope it has the FW prep pkg.

Jerry


HAHA...well, I had 4 kids & she had 2 when we got married the 2nd time...and I figured out your cousin's dilemma and took care of it back then...haha...

Anyway, thanks. And I am not sure it has the 5th wheel prep package or not, I havent climbed underneath, and it has a plastic bedliner. What do I look for underneath?
