^^^^Nothing wrong with a good running truck!
We sound a lot alike, I'm old and grumpy, but most can tolerate me... eventually. My "go to" junk when going on a road trip is also a mechanically sound but showing it's age (and the infamous GMC white paint evacuation plan) '06 Duramax. We've gone full circle on our gear, started with a tent, done damn near every other style of camping, RV, trailer, truck camper, etc...we're back to the basics and a tent!
You've got this! Wish I could make it this year and meet you.
