You keeping it or flipping it? Nice score either way.

Easy flip. Other than the tranny, I'd check for turbo shaft play and then post it on CL for at least $8500 assuming it's 4wd.

How much headroom in the camper?

The GM 6.0 is as reliable as a truck engine can get, and if it's in a 2500hd the truck around it is very stout/reliable as well. We have a 02 2500hd at work that's on it's original everything(everything! including brake pads) other than tires and one battery, it's an absolute rock. On the...

Any relation to Ron Swanson? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86mg3HHz0JY

I've always liked the S.S. color scheme but thought it would be too dark for the interior of an already small pop up camper, but those panoramic pics don't make it seem to dark/stuffy/small at all. I do still hate the black lift panels though, hopefully FWC can do something about those some...

Well thanks for the varying opinions, I'm looking at it tomorrow. I've seen guys like Pest use internal bed-mounted tie-downs(similar/same as what FWC uses I assume), but this guy had his tied down with the "traditional" style fast guns and frame mounted tork-lift. I don't have frame...

Possibly looking at a 09 Phoenix pop-up for a long bed in the next couple days. Anything in particular I should look out for? They seem to be pretty well made from my research. The build process on their website looks pretty thorough and well thought out. One thing that does concern me...

Haha! I would say I feel bad but you just spent 14 months living the dream! Here's some perspective: Most Americans get/use 2 weeks of vacation a year, so at 14 months you just took 28 YEARS worth of vacation. Coming back to the states and the daily grind will be good motivation for working...

Looks really well done, I think the under-bed storage should be an option on other FWCs. If I bought the taller "Ford Super Duty" model Grandby I would probably have enough space for the extra storage above the roof of my Silverado.

Bump. Do this Stan! If you could demonstrate that any of the exterior options kept the camper noticeably cooler than the other that's what I'd buy.

Hey Wiley, any idea how many dollars per day you're spending on this trip? And what's your biggest expense? I'm guessing gas

Is this gonna be Tom's new personal truck? :D

I just came across this on CL, figured I'd help them out by re-posting it here. http://santamaria.craigslist.org/laf/3761977204.html Here's the text in case the ad gets flagged or expires: "Stolen 4/18/13 from Solvang A pop up camper the brand 2005 Outfitter please call 805-452-0753 with...

Nice! I'm planning on some similar travels with my 6.0 gas powered 2009 Silverado 2500hd. I've got a couple questions if you don't mind- Your truck looks bone stock, have you modified it in anyway? Stock suspension height? What tire make/size did you run? Did you ever run into any problems...
