    Sorry about the hip Jerry. Looks like you're going to get to spend some quality time on your couch with the dogs.

    Do we really need a spare?

    I ran a landscaping company for forty years and the amount of flats I got was staggering. My worst year, I got 17 flats on my truck and trailer, so yes, I always carry a spare.

    2500/3500 Ram/Chevy/Ford??

    I just did 1034 miles in my 21 Tremor 7.3. 517 with no camper 12.8. 517 with 1650 in bed 11.8. Very comfortable and never lacking for power. Like everything about it except for the fuel mileage and I was expecting that, so nothing to complain about.

    Scott Brady Editor's choice Tremor weight question

    Two weeks ago I drove 517 miles, unladen with weight, and tires aired to 65 and 80 and didn't find the ride punishing at all. The drive back with 1650 lbs. in the bed was smoother but I found the truck to be a great highway vehicle and did 1034 miles in a little over 16 hours with very little...

    You have to quit beating those dogs, I've never seen them look so stressed. Good luck with the knee, seems I can't sneeze anymore without hurting something. Old age is not for the weak.

    Who insures your truck camper?

    Ended up going with Progressive as many of the other companies would only insure the camper if I also insured the truck through them.

    My Journey

    The place looks great and the dogs look happy. Summer is a pretty crappy time for the walking that you like to do what with the heat, chiggers, and ticks. Hopefully you can finally get healed up this summer and you and the dogs can start back up when the weather cools.

    Who insures your truck camper?

    I'm picking up my Scout Kenai on the 16th and am looking for good insurance. Everyone wants to also insure my truck or upsell me. Who are you all using and are you happy with them?

    what cover are you using for your truckcamper when off truck

    Going to pick up my Scout Kenai on the 16th and plan to use a cover when it's not on the truck. What are you all using to protect your investment?

    Tailgate on or off?

    Thanks, that's the information I was looking for. I live on a rutted dirt and rock road and plan to travel on them frequently so really didn't like the idea of the tailgate picking up rock chips or any other damage.

    Tailgate on or off?

    I'll be picking up my Scout Kenai in a couple of weeks. It will be going into F-250 crew cab, so 6'9''bed. The guy at the camper place said I need to run my tailgate for support but the Scout website says it's ok to remove. This is my first truck camper so am new to this. What do those with...

    Great pictures, as usual, and the dogs sure look happy, so you're lifestyle seems to be working for them.

    My Journey

    The courage and resolve of the Ukrainian people is to be admired. They are literally fighting for their lives while the morons in this country cry about having to wear a mask in public. I really hope we begin to make some changes in this country when we see how bad it could be and how good we...

    Roaming Lost: 2022 RAM 3500

    I'm supposed to pick up my Scout in April. It's going on a F-250. Can you tell me, are you using the tiedowns in the bed of your truck or did you get something more substantial? My camper will not be on full time so I don't want anything that is mounted full time. Will usually have a...

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    I agree with you. Everyone told me how good it would do but I never did better than 15.5 and averaged 12 over it's life.
