Picked up the camper in Reno, NV and made the drive back to AZ stopping for a night's rest at some rest stop that had RV parking. Posted some photo's on my blog site (http://stopbit.blogspot.com/).

Nice.
So, what do you think of the super springs and the camper on your Ranger?

The setup worked really well except for a little bouncy at times which I think means I need to get some heavy duty shocks. Didn't notice any sway even in the high winds and the v6 Ranger had more than enough power to keep me at 65+ even going up the mountains.

So had the roof replaced by local RV repair shop about 6 weeks ago due to hail damage. Got back from long work trip (without camper) out of town, pop up camper and find this. There must be a leak still and now it appears I will have to replace back panel and mattress due to water damage. I was not able to push the top all the way up with out some one lifting the back up at the same time. Hoping it is only due to some warping of the wood on back panel. Will try and fight with insurance company and RV shop to fix this but not sure how much trust I have in shop at this point.
