So where were we? Salida Colorado was a great day stop...but time simply slipped through our hands and we did not have enough of it to hit the Hot Springs Aquatic Center and take a proper soak before it would have been getting dusk. I really did not want to drive into a remote area I've never...

Phase 2 continued: Laura and I had talked about some “want to do's” for this trip. We put our heads together and decided that in addition to some remote camping we wanted to see some native peoples petroglyphs, see some dinosaur bones, and enjoy some hot springs. So with those...

I'll throw this out just as a reference point for folks. This might guide you as you choose a platform and camper as far as weight. Proper weight planning should be the foundation of your build. This is a 2005 RAM 3500 short bed with Hillsborough aluminum flat bed and aluminum storage boxes...

Phase 2: RAM'n around Utah and Colorado. I was really pumped up about this segment of my journey. The new to me RAM and FWC Hawk camper were certainly a focus area as there is a lot to learn and what kid (young or old) doesn't treasure the initial experience of a “new toy”! Now I've been out...

ONWARD: This trip naturally fell into three phases. The first part of this trip was the initial trek out to Utah to meet up with the RAM seller and allow each of us an opportunity to do a final in person vehicle inspection and do the transaction if all goes right (fingers were crossed here –...

The theme of this trip is transitions. I'll try to provide some enjoyable reading that summarizes my three week journey from Virginia to Utah, Colorado and back. Let's start with the transitions: First: there is the transition to what seems to be the new normal. Primarily dealing with Covid...

Thanks for the report. Great photos.

Great report thanks!

Can you please provide the measurement of the open floor area? Specifically the distance 1: between the Goose cabinets; 2: front bulkhead to rear tailgate; 3: floor to the lower edge of the topper (ie: maximum height of an object able to be loaded via tailgate).

Nice simple rig. I'm looking...but for now I'll just say you clearly take good care of that senior dog. Good for you!
