Not sunset and no margaritas, but snapped a quick photo of the rig deployed lakeside at Flaming Gorge this weekend.
Discovered a few minor issues, like a small crack in one of the vent fitting welds on one of the water tanks. It is a very comfortable setup to be sure. From years of RV camping, one of my biggest gripes is trying to keep the rig clean and uncluttered. Turns out all the planning for easy access to tons of stowage paid off. The rig is very easy to keep clean, which is nothing short of a miracle in a family of boys!
The big dissapointment, however is the Topkick. I know I'll get some "I told you so" crap on this one, but I'm about ready to swap out the platform. On a positive note, it did very well on the 10 miles of dirt roads, including using 4L on a couple of very steep sections. But I'm not liking it on the highway at all. Even with the new fan clutch it's running hot, and something is gumming up my fuel filter. It could be crud from the used tanks, or something else. Even if I get that resolved, however, it doesn't have the punch I'm looking for to handle the ups and downs of the western US. I'll have some pros look at it this week to see if anything can be done to make it work, otherwise, I may be in the market for a different truck. Curious about the Terrastars.
