Lol, I would've followed that to get a pic ! People stalk me into parking lots to look at my bumpier all the time!

On another topic, I have been out camping in my new RV for about 6 days out of the last two weekends. I was surprised at how many F-150's I saw towing HUGE rigs. There was one towing a 5th wheel that must have been 38' with double slides, huge.
This is at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park near Thunder Bay Ontario. It is beautiful countyside up there!

The 5er is only 6800 lbs dry, the truck pulls and handles this trailer very well. I do not think I would want to go any bigger than what I have with a 1/2 ton.

Mine is 34' with double slides but is lightweight construction that was 7700 lbs dry and about 8500 loaded. My EcoBoost pulls it just fine.

Sure, just put 90PSI in your airbags and you won't even feel it's back there... F150 are monsters ;-)

LOL! Just hire a semi to get it to its permanant home. Or to paraphrase the movie "Jaws", "We're going to need a bigger truck!"

Nice. What model? Need interior pics.

I bought a 2011 Spree LX 261RKS last fall and it is proving to be a pretty good unit overall.

It is a 2012 KZ Spree LX 321 RKS. I'll get some interior pics next trip next weekend. We love it so far!

Do you have any pics of yours?

That sounds like a sweet trailer.

Here are a few pics of ours. We're loving it too. With just the two of us and two little dogs its just right. An integrated outdoor kitchen would be cool though.

Hitched up to go on Aug 31:


Packed up to go home Sept 3:
