We thought we had this last week but the sellers bank was really slow on the process, however they were nice enough to deliver it to us from an hour south but when they got here they told us they locked the doors and forgot the keys. LOL arrrggghhhh so we had a trailer in our driveway for 2 days before I finally got time to drive down to their house and pick up they keys.
Trying to talk the wife into letting me get a new F250 but thats gonna take some time : )
Going to try a few different campsites before deciding on a place to park for next season.
Now I have an excuse to break out my cajon : )

That’s awesome. Congratulations!
As far as the F250, it just depends on where & how far you want to travel. If it’s just to local lakes and mostly flat, then the 1/2T would be fine. Especially if it has a tow package or it’s an EcoBoost. If you want to go travel the country or plan on pulling in some big hills or mountains, then the F250 (or even F350) would be a safer way to go. It’s not as much about power as it is about suspension, stability, brakes and having components designed for the consistent added stress. Going to a diesel would be advantageous if you’re gonna be traveling a lot.
