    i had done a lot of research on small campers for my Runner before I started looking at truck campers.
    these guys aren't big time but they seem to have a solid product if you dont need a lot of frills. little more than the standard teardrops.

    Yep, right up my alley, but. I’ve priced out a higher end cargo trailer-6-8k, 2k in custom improvements, gets me at 10k ish

    Good evening, gang. It was another long, mind numbing day at the office. 10 hrs today. I truly don't understand how this one ass clown has a job there. This kid will write macros to "improve" the way that the title blocks on new drawings will auto-populate to save time and import redundant data. Everything worked ok with the templates that the CAD manager set up last year. Ass clown kid manages to foul up the processes so badly, there were 6 people that got absolutely nothing accomplished today because the software kept crashing because of the macros. While we talked amongst ourselves, no one knows how this kid even got the admin access rights to be able to implement changes like this.

    I like your taste in vehicles!

    Congrats, very nice! The window price is so close to a new SR5, I'm just curious what swayed you to get the CPO used one? No disrespect intended, I keep looking at used ones myself. I want to do it soon. I can't stand driving the Taco anymore.

    with your woodworking skills i'm sure you could turn out something nice!
    after all of hte research i did i realized that most of the campers i was looking at were near the top of the weight category for what my runner could pull AND they were really no bigger and in most cases had fewer amenities than a truck camper...so I ended up with Chebby and my camper
    that's one good thing about my job is no one really knows anything at all about CAD so they cant F up the high end stuff I've set up to make my life a little easier. Yes, the morons still manage to screw up individual projects from time to time but no one has done any mega F ups.

    Closest I could get new 46k premium package, sunroof and 3rd row seats, both of them I did not want. This is a 23, with 10k miles lease turn in. No sunroof, no 3rd row, color I wanted and 15 hundred under that sticker.
