I think I might have sold ours this weekend, we'll see.

If so we're moving up to a 5er and on to more adventures.

I installed a couple bike mounts at the dinette. By folding the table down and removing the cushions we can mount our camping bikes inside the camper for travel.

The mounts are far enough back on the seats that you can't feel them once the cushions are in place. The front wheels and bikes will be strapped together to keep everything solid.






Nice job!

I look at it this way... The more bugs that commit sudden death on the fromt of your truck and camper, the less there are to bite you....

Re-loaded the camper and pulled the rig inside as there was forecast large hail and torrential rain last night.

The hail didn't make the trip this far north but the rain sure did!!
