Fun! Congrats!
Just a suggestion - we started keeping a log of every night we spent in the camper - date, where we were, noteworthy event from the day, etc. Wife got me a nice leather notebook that lives in the camper. I know it will be fun to flip through in 10 years.

I have a google map that I update showing all the sites we've stayed at too. A ledger would be better but I don't take notes well or keep a journal, so tech-nerd version.
Looking forward to seeing the interior, I can tell the inside layout is a lot different than our K2.

And don’t worry the furnace will warm the camper to whatever temperature you want in a hurry.
Congratulations!

Just checked out the facebook pic's - nice rig. I think you'll really like the straight countertop/ single sink. It really opens up a lot of floor space.
And so many drawers and cupboards - never have a shortage of storage!

Just wanted to let you know that we made it back to Virginia in one piece!
The camper performed flawlessly in the 5 nights we camped with it across the fruited plains...
I hope to do a detailed write up on the camper in the next week or so so be patient...
Two people came up to us while we were camping in different places and wanted to know more about Hallmarks..I should have asked for commissions!

I like the vertical propane tanks. I should have inquired about a single vertical in our K2.

I had an opportunity to weigh my truck just before we took off For Denver and had a chance to weigh the rig this afternoon.
I probably had 100 pounds of gear and water in the camper but the camper weighed in at 2580 #'s.
This includes the Happy Jack's and the Fast Gun system as well as the camper itself.
The camper itself is fairly well appointed including:
2 way fridge
3 burner stove
Sink
External Shower
4 gal hot water heater
North/South queen bed
10 foot awning
Carpet Kit
2 flexible solar panels
Cassette toilet
Dual batteries
And a few other minor items but all of the above add weight so I wasn't surprised. Fortunately I'm still under my GVWR so all is good.
More info and pics this weekend (hopefully)!
