After a tragic demise to my Palamino SS800 on a trip to MT, where the pop-up roof flew off, it is time to find Trout1 a new camper for her bed.

I have been looking at FWC, AT and Outfitter very hard and the decision came clear to me when I started contacting the manufacturers in person. So I am currently in route to Denver to pick up my new Outfitter Caribou 6.5.

I will share pics and my experience once I get to the shop. But so far Outfitter has been beyond accommodating. I had a rushed build time because I need the camper for a work detail in Eastern OR at the end of next week. They dialed me in and I am super excited that Trout1 will have a new friend to tote around.

A new camper is always good. But the reason for it sounds interesting. Any more info on that?

I have searched that camper a few times over the past years.

Has a lot of nice standard features and very few options needed.

Congrats on the camper.

Looking forward to some pictures.

With the standard queen mattress that came with the camera i could not fit my memory foam topper. So I replaced it with 3 inch foam, added the topper and now I can close the roof and leave the bed madeIMG_20170814_115429.jpg
