What would You Order?

In the next year or so, my wife & I are planning to order a new truck camper. Since I live in Illinois, I will probably be ordering it, then making the trek west to pick it up "probably to the dealer that I can get the best deal from". It has been tough to decide, but I think the Eagle Cap 995 has won over an Arctic Fox "I do have a 2013 crew cab dually".

The questions that seem to give me grief are,
1- Do I go microwave delete to gain the extra cabinet space?
2- Do I go generator delete for the same reason? One can always get a small Honda generator that will do the same. Looks like for some of my longer excursions I may have to pull a very small enclosed trailer behind to have room for other things like a fold up dining fly, lawn chairs, fishing poles & coolers to name a few & finding a home for a portable generator in there wont be a problem.

What do you folk's think? I'd like to hear what you have to say.

Thanks, Bruce

As I am sure you have read by now, it is all about how much you are willing to spend, what you want to take camping, and where you camp. I think no mater what you get, you will wish you had got something and not have got something else.

You have experience camping with your TT and tent. Probably the extremes with taking "stuff" and not taking lots of "stuff".

Keep in mind, with the initial purchase of the built in generator you are not through. If you are lucky you will not have repairs. A Honda will be much easier. cheaper and convenient to repair than a built in generator. You can drop the Honda off at the shop. Do you want to do that with a built in? I will point out, if you decide on a Honda, make sure the specks on the TC A/C will allow it to be ran with the Honda. Very important with a Honda 2000.

The Microwave is no big deal. You will always have something stored in it, use it or not.
