I forgot about how much nicer that new rig will be coming out

That was part of the justification . The whole my truck will be worth less and new one will be more.

Because if you do, you need stickers, right?

That would be cool. Ive got a couple ideas in mind. Id like to bring the whole family, but if for some reason that doesnt happen maybe i could bring a big trailer a play clean up along the way if you guys have any trouble twords the end.

That's a lovely thought, although I sure hope it won't be necessary. Insurance is a good thing. I hope you make it. PM me your address and I'll get stickers to you!

All who would like to ride along for all or part of the ride post up!

I plan to tag along on the starting side of the journey for a bit. Wife even told me to take time off for a bit if i want to stay along

Possibly for a day or two depending on exact timing of my joining up and my ability to arrange my return from wherever i then depart the journey

Damn shadesman if you start with this trip it's going to be tough to leave it. I'd take your wife's advice and take the time off!

As much as I'd like to stay on longer, i dont have enough vacation to pull it off. Nor would my job be too excited about the idea of that much time off in our busy season.... luckily the journey starts not too far from me so i can tag along at least for a bit.

PM me an address to mail you stickers, if you want them.

Went up to my property today to meet the builder and discuss the Adobe and the building site and when I left I hooked up the Osprey and brought it back to town. Stopped by the store and picked up a sheet set, pillows and comforter and then made it up because in the morning I'm headed to Oklahoma with it and I'll be staying the night in it along the way to try it out. Pics tomorrow.

Stopped to get my breakfast kix on Route 66. The Osprey looks insignificant behind that truck don't y'all think? I've given out two American Teardrop cards at truck stops!

You're right about the duramax and that gas dog!

Your a better man than me,I like your camper and love my wife but I don't think I could spend 2 weeks in it with her.

Made it back and coupled up the P1K to the Osprey right off the bat. Can't really tell its back there. But, I'm afraid the box on the tongue isn't going to work. I can turn plenty sharp, but I can't turn as sharp as the P1K will turn without the tongue box and the bed making contact which would do serious damage to the bed of the P1K!!! Only need to forget about that once and it's too late. So, either I get an extension for the receiver, which may compromise the mechanics/weight distribution/physics of the whole matter?? Or I have to remove the tongue box with a nicely installed battery in it ( ) and put it in the bed of the P1K (just for the PROTC) and install a much smaller aluminum tongue box just big enough for the battery and a couple of tools. It's not an option to me to put it on the rear receiver, too much added length and weight behind the axle for my liking. What are y'alls thoughts about a longer receiver???
