So here it is...
We recently sold our pop up and our T@B and have been searching for what's next. Ann has always been keen on the idea of a truck camper, especially after spending time with the FWD folks at Expo east last year. The way we see it, we can tool along in most east coast circumstances in her 2wd Tacoma Prerunner and when it calls for 4wd, or if I break away on my own (!) or with Joe for a trip, we can drop it into our little trailer and tow with our Jeep.
I keep a constant search going on our local craigslist and this camper popped up in New Bern, NC, just 3 hours away. I sent Ann the ad and she was all in (as I have stated many times in the past... I, like many of you, married way the hell above my paygrade).
We went to look at it. Great guy, making the switch from mountain living in Asheville to waterfront at the coast and was ready to sell. Once we saw it in person it was a done deal. I made my offer and he accepted... partially because his name was Joe, so my Joe thought he was super cool, partly because in his words, he knew we would use it and my offer was only 10% less than his asking
Some key items... it fits in our truck, it has a queen size bed and a dinette that fold down for Joe, it was super clean, has an outdoor shower and hot water heater, has fantastic fan and steps to attach to the rear...
We really like how easy it is to pop up and down and it is crazy how roomy it feels in there. Tonight we were in there with me, Ann, Joe and @BushHead and we could actually sit and chat (and sweat... it is July in NC)
So on to the pics:
