Hello . I would like to say high. I have been lurking for about a year. I just got back into the camping life style.
As a kid my parents took us camping 2 to 5 times a year. Then when I first got married wife, kids and I camped during summer. The life got in the way. Fall of 2010 we bought a Copper canyon 298 FW bunk house. We just love it. Room for the 3 girls and us, plus their friends. I tow with a 2008 Ford F-250 4WD with a 5.4. It pulls fine but when I get new truck it will be a diesel. Camp mostly state and corp parks close to home. One long tow for me so far was 3 hours from home.
Love all the information here. Look forward to learning more as I go.

Tim,

Welcome to the forum. We were "almost in your neck of the woods" last summer when we took the shortcut (if you can call it that) from Effingham to Springfield. Now that was an experience LOL

Anyway, welcome and we look forward to hearing more from you in the future.
