The license plate is for the truck. I leave mine on the truck. REXRe: No dinnetWe asked that our Eagle Cap 1165 be built without a dinette. We have a table and two chairs instead. When we were at the dealer we found that the Factory dinette was not comfortable for us. The inability to make it into a sleeping space was not a big deal for us, we didn't buy it for slumber parties. REXRe: Super excited!I've kept track of all the nights we've spent in out truck camper since we bought it. We picked it up on Aug 13 2015 and traded it in yesterday. 165 nights in a camper! We picked up our brand new 2017 Eagle Cap 1165 yesterday. Tonight will be our first night sleeping in it. First impressions.......what looks like a ton of space at the dealer really fills up fast when you start transferring all the stuff from one camper to the next. I know it IS heavier but it doesn't feel like it drives any different to me. The Torklift hitch is an impressive BEAST! I'm not looking forward to taking it off or re-installing it anytime soon. The Onan/Cummins 2500 generator is not any quieter than the Onan2500 in the Arctic Fox. And last but not least.......I still haven't figured out how to do the picture thing.:h REXRe: Super excited!Yeah, the picture thing........I will do my best. I know that I know how to take pictures. And I know that I like to look at pictures... but. I don't know that I know how to POST pictures. I will try. REXRe: Super excited!Picking it up on Monday! Oh man.....I just cant wait!! REXRe: eagle cap versus hostWe looked at both the Host and the Eagle Cap, side by side, on the same day. On the same lot. For us, the Eagle Cap just felt 'better'. I could see in my minds eye just where everything would go once we were packed. 10 more days...... REXRe: Super excited!We are in our camper so many nights a year that comfort is kind of a big deal. Our first fair is in February and we finis up in November. Not every weekend of course... but that is a lot of time to sit bolt upright. REXRe: Super excited!Three more weeks.......two more fairs in our Artic Fox 990. It will be so nice to have a place to sit that ISN'T a dinette cushion. REXRe: Super excited!We tow our Facepainting trailer to fairs, festivals and special events throughout the west. It is a 10' by 7' trailer because the fairs sell space in 10'x10' spots. We already have the truck...we are selling our Arctic Fox 990. A class C would make it very hard to back our little trailer accurately. REXSuper excited!We just got word from the financing company that we are approved! 3 weeks and 2 days 'till delivery day on our Spanking new Eagle Cap 1165!! YAY!!
