Love my truck and camper.

222813 miles 6.0L 3.73:1
Averaging 10.4 mpg carrying my 4000 lb camper. (10,540 lbs total)
Still doesn't use a drop of oil between oil changes that have been done every 5000 miles.
Still wearing the factory brakes.
Less than $1000 spent on repairs.






The perfect camper for just me. :B
40 FW 22 GR 26 BL
Built in generator.

Its been an awesome combo.

I was very specific and noted it was related to NordVPN. Too bad, that you missed it. I have no idea what filtering you are doing, but obviously not as filtered as mine. 😉

For those keeping score, NordVPN is not an unpopular VPN service. It’s actually one fo the top rated services.

Seriously though, your images only view if I turn my VPN off. I don’t know what your host did to get blacklisted by NordVPN.

I wish the brochures had more pictures of the inside of that 1120.

I did see one picture of a huge drawer where the oven goes if you didn't want the oven. I wish who ever ordered my camper new would have gone the no oven route.

I could probably fit another 50 lbs of junk in there. :B

Wow, and I thought I was doing good to get 40-50k miles out of a set of brakes.


I've put a lot of HWY miles on this truck and live in a very rural area.


Me too. I hear people talking about 20-30k, so I thought I was doing good.


I buy my tires from a friend up in Salt Lake. I was having new tires put on and asked him if I could go out and check my brakes while they had the wheels off.

He asked how many miles were on the truck and I told him 80,000. He smiled and said, "they never wear out", smiled and walked away.

Looks like he was right.

No worries, I just turn NordVPN off, refresh, and then turn it back on.

Only if I turn off NordVPN and refresh. Your photo hoster site is apparently blacklisted.
