I just got it home with Broadys and Home Depot turnbuckles. Ordered new TorkLift Tie Downdowns for $370. delivered from Gibs RV, Coos Bay Oregon.
I made the mistake of putting air in my Coil-Rite air bags after the camper was on--so I was underinflated all the way back to Oregon--not smart. Next time I will inflate the bags to max (35 psi) before loading the camper on the truck. Should perform better that way--hopefully.
I have some serious learning to do (froze my beer on way home)--thanks for all you guys taught me.
The guy who plays with his toys the most wins!

Glad you made it home OK. Turn that dial on your fridge from 5 to 3 and your beer should not freeze!!!!

Thanks Silvertip--especially for the advice on the TorkLifts and the Fridge and the Propane Detector!. Next I have got to figure out the rear awning--pretty hi-tech--need to have four hands I think in order to set it up right.
I spent a couple of hours cleaning the interior and it is looking better now. Another hour or two and it will be ready for some minor fix-its here and there. Now to pay my camper tax--Oregon requires I title it and license it. hum bug.
I lost a full page e-mail when I tried to send it to you back channel--it will take a day or so and I will get it rewritten.
Best to ya,
Fitwon

Congratulations on your new camper. Have fun out there and be safe.

Thanks Darryl. I love the fact this Outfitter has 11 opening windows with screens--makes it feel like I am outside when I am inside.
