My fondest memories were camping with my family growing up in Minnesota. As such, my biggest fears were created as well....Namakan Narrows in Minnesota stands out the most. Chased off an island by a huge black bear while boat camping (take a boat to an island, set up a tent. This was before rangers started putting up "Bear Poles" to hang your food.) Long story but the bear didn't get us. (Obviously) I hate effing bears to this day. They are the "Spider fear" to me. I'll carry a big ass 44 magnum when I move to Montana. To hell with bear spray.

Rix, if you turn that tongue jack 90* you gain about 5 inches of tail gate room. Puts the controls right where you need them standing beside the tongue also. Require welding a small tab and drilling 3 new holes . The existing holes won't match and they are punched thru the metal and the coupler is actually threaded for the bolts so no nuts under there (gender neutral) .

Yeah I think I may want to go with the long tube headers and true duals at some point. Pretty small v8, not a lot of power. Additional Trans cooler is probably going to be a good idea as well.

Those are pretty good trailers. A co-worker had one set up next to me at a park in Tillamook, OR for 2 years. Lots of rain, snow, general chaos. No issues. Bought it at Awesome RV but is out of warranty now so it goes to Dave @ Country Canopy in Chehalis off the Rush Rd exit for yearly services.
My second home in the lower 48 for the last 8 years pretty much has been an Arctic Fox, but those little Winnies are pretty good.
All RVs are garbage, even the multi-million dollar executive coaches. But then again tow, haul or drive any stick-built house down the road at 60mph in a simulated earthquake and see how long they last...
