Hitched up and heading out to deer camp. That week was a disaster. Water intake line froze twice, dump valves froze, and got 12" of snow on the slide out. Hopefully don't see another week that cold for another 10 years. Truck pulled very well, despite being right up to my payload limit with water in the tank.

That extra 500-800# of water can be rough towing on a regular 1/2 ton, but not for the Boost!

Bought a new to us 2010 keystone bullet a few weeks ago. Weather turned cold and winterized it. Then we made plans to go to Branson, Missouri for this weekend. Weather turned warm for a bit. Hit 63 degrees today and supposed to be 70 tomorrow. Perfect for the maiden voyage. My 5.0 with 3.55's got 9 miles per gallon. Not as bad as i was expecting.

Sounds pretty normal for this time of the year. Didn't you winterize? The Jay Flights even with the thermal package are only good for cooler fall temps. They don't have insulated dump valves or dual pane windows.

This is how we "camp" during the summer months here in upstate NY! 22' Sea Ray Cruiser being pulled by my 2010 Super Crew 4.6L.
