It was an attempt at some light-hearted humour. Jeez guys, next time I won't bother

When I recently posted that I had upgraded to a 250, I said I was sad to have to leave this forum as it's the best one around for Ford trucks!
I was reassured the Powerstrokes were still welcome.
So this weekend is my first real trip with the 250 pulling our Jayco Eagle 308RETS @ 7600 dry.
Weekend of skydiving and partying for a friend that died of a heart attack 2 weeks ago.

Got back from WY to find out the glass window in the back our RV was busted. RV dealer can't get to it for a month, but, they told me where they would end up getting the glass from, so I called them and they can do it.

Cutting out the middle man! It's still going to be expensive as it was a large glass.

Now, I usually get around 14-15 average with no trailer, but thats in town and highway mix, so 10.7 pulling a 32' trailer is hard to believe, but that whats I got. I wonder what I would get driving 65 all the time!

Monterey by Extreme, 25 footer with rear kitchen. Trucks pulls it ok, its around 5800 lbs dry then up to 8000lbs loaded up. With the quad in the back probably pushing my limits but it handles it well with stabilizer bars and bags...





First got the camper...





Loaded up with the quad, heading to the mountains.

He has a Weight Distribution Hitch , that will level it. Not saying he does not have airbags.
