    Truck For Kenai Scout?

    F350. Single rear will will have enough payload especially with a gas motor. Go for the 7.3.... really no reason not to. With all the emission stuff and our driving I couldn't justify the diesel and would probably ruin it. The truck (with camper installed) is my main vehicle. I usually drive it...

    Hallmark let me down

    I will reply one last time as I see where this is going. I am not bending the truth. I dont know the truth of this situation, only your side. You stand to gain hallmark paying for your repair if they feel this negatively impacts their business. What do you have to lose..... nothing I can see...

    Hallmark let me down

    Maybe I am hardwired a little differently. If a plumber came to my house to fix my leaking sink I would open up the cabinet and verify that my sink wasnt leaking any more before I paid them for their work. That is a stationary house. There is no way I would bless off on completed plumbing work...

    Hallmark let me down

    Unless your hallmark is significantly different than mine I will have to agree to disagree with some of your of thought and reasoning. I just replaced my water heater and repaired the previous owners "plumbing fixes". The sink lines are obscured by the sink and it definatly makes it easier to...

    Hallmark let me down

    Disclaimer: I own a Hallmark camper that I bought used. I have taken to Hallmark after purchase (it was a stop in) and the people working were more than happy to help me figure out the camper, even fixing a few thing the previous owner neglected. At no cost. So just to get this straight...

    Truck Camper that Sleeps 4?

    We have a family of 5 in a hallmark cuchara. 2 kids on the dinette and one in the bunk bed above the dinette. Its tight but makes a perfect ski vehicle for us. Unless you are worried about insurance or registration there really isnt a downside to going to a 3500/350 size. For our uses, the...

    Modern truck camper for an adventurous family of five?

    We have a family of 5 in a f350 and hallmark cuchara. Is it tight.....? Heck yeah. But I can drive it to work or pick up the kids from school (all within 5 miles) and have it on the truck to go camping at any time. If a meeting runs late I have a fully stocked kitchen on the back of my truck to...

    My Journey

    While we are seeing an increase in aggression by the Russian military it is all too easily missed or glossed over that this is the continuation of a war that has been going since 2014 (at least in its current iteration). I have had the opportunity to go over there multiple times for work to...

    True 4-season truck camper/travel trailer?

    I always believe there is some expectation management with "off season" camping. If you have the ability to to get a fully insulated composite camper and truck capable of managing it then by all means. We camp mostly in the winter in Colorado. We have a hallmark cuchara with a SRW F350. I...

    3.73 or 4.30 gears for F350 carrying Scout Kenai?

    I did this dance a little bit ago. I have a Hallmark Cuchara. So, probably about the same weight but different height profiles. I went with the F350 7.3l CCLB with 3.73. The 3.73 will generally get better MPG. But if you think you may need a little more payload the 4.30 will most times get a...

    Seeking input on newer Ford F350's with the 6.2L or 7.3L Gas engines.

    He is another couple shots with pretty good side profile. You can see that we store the skis, ice fishing sled, and tent under the truck when at camp. I have everything for fishing in 1 sled so that it is easy to slide out from the camper hallway with the tent.

    Seeking input on newer Ford F350's with the 6.2L or 7.3L Gas engines.

    The first is the day I picked it up. We bought it used but it had a new roof and canvas installed within the past year. The previous owner was less than 20 min from Hallmark so I stopped in and they were awesome with making sure I new all the stuff about the camper. The second is one of our...

    Seeking input on newer Ford F350's with the 6.2L or 7.3L Gas engines.

    We did this mental dance about 6-12 months ago. Looking at NL 9-6 sportsman or Hallmark cuchara as our camper choices. We were going with a new truck and probably used camper due to costs. We live in CO and the primary use was to be skiing trips, ice fishing in CO and then longer summer road...

    Fot anyone interested, the tent is located in COLORADO SPRINGS. If you are contacted by a dirtbag in another location (like California) it is 100% a scam. DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY.

    One ton truck Suspension modifications for camper

    I have a 2022 f350 with a fairly light camper (Hallmark Cuchara) but probably close to the same when we are all loaded. We had about 3-4 inches of squat when loaded. It handled like a luxury car compared to empty because the leaf springs were being flexed. It did engage the overloads and...

    My 2022 F350 CCLB 7.3L truck. Picked it up about 2 weeks ago and was able to get a 2004 Hallmark Cuchara with a 1 year old roof and insulated top. We have already taken it out for our first ski trip. We are able to sleep our family of 5. Yes, it is tight but it is really just our meal and...

    Located in Colorado Springs, CO Price: SOLD Bought earlier this year and used 3-4 times. We loved the easy setup and tear down as well as the giant sleeping area. As a family of 5 we have decided to move from a 1/2 truck with topper and RTT into a 1 ton truck with truck camper.
