My Nam buddy Red and his wifes camper.
Nice little camper well laid out for camping and traveling. Perfect for 1 or 2 people. Think he paid $18,500 plus extras like anti sway bars, 7 yr. warranty, road side assistance, etc..
Really would like to get one once this damn leg is fixed and travel the country visiting you guys. I really want to head west and dig up arrow heads and visit old west historic sites. Do some long range shooting can't go more than a damn 100 yds here to much vegetation.

4th, your best bet to find arrowheads is on the surface in farmer's fields in the Spring. I've found hundreds of them.
There were lots of native Americans near your area before the settlers displaced them. Florida and Georgia had large populations.

A motor home would be nice. Dad had one with a Dodge 440 back in the 70s.

A van would be nice but I need more room than one could probably provide? Trying to figure what my Chevy Silverado can pull. Getting a little confused on the Gross vehicle weights?
1/2 ton 2007 Silverado with 52,000 miles on it a big strong 5.3 liter engine tow package flow master pipes chip in the engine? Truck weighs 6,250 lbs. and the tow weight I think is 7,600 lbs max? |

Look up "EarthRoamer". That one will get you about anywhere you want to go. But it will cost you a kidney and a left nut.

The std M&S balloons on half ton PU trucks are not really rated to carry much over the stated load rating. The rear axles are not full full floating either (snap). Cooling systems are not really designed for heavy use. A half ton is OK for intermittent light loads but they are maxed out very quickly with a real load. Trucks are like dicks....having a big one... is never a bad thing.
