    Or spending the kids inheritance...:whistle::whistle::whistle::binoculars::binoculars::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    We had been talking about getting a camper for several years, find a good deal, it would be sold quick or be too big for our truck.
    Well, a friend of ours has some serious upcoming surgeries...
    He posted his camper for sale... Screenshot_20231221_084722_Facebook.jpg Screenshot_20231221_084554_Facebook.jpg Screenshot_20231221_084701_Facebook.jpg Screenshot_20231221_084624_Facebook.jpg Screenshot_20231221_084613_Facebook.jpg
    35' with 2 slide outs, hitch included.
    We looked at it Tuesday night. Excellent condition. 1 small spot on bedroom wall needs repair. 2020 model.
    As we were talking, he said if he sold camper, he probably didn't need what he had to pull it...so I asked yesterday morning if he was serious about that...he was...
    We picked it up last night... 20231220_213610.jpg
    '21 F250 4x4 Super Duty, 44K miles, gas burner...very clean truck.
    We will pick up the camper soon.

    That's pretty sweet!! Congrats. Gas is the way to go anymore if you're not traveling and living outta it. Even then probably less headaches overall.

    Definitely. My nephew has two diesels for his business and he's had enough. Selling both and getting gas trucks. They cost more to buy, feed and maintain.

    REALLY nice Jeff! Does the camper have a wood burner? :whistle:

    Will the truck get used for wood hauling or strictly recreational?

    Nice truck Jeff plus the camper. What engine, 6.2 or 7.3? Either way should treat you well.
