    NO,

    Love it!! Sweet truck, and with 2 doors. :) So many miles and memories. Did your original ECU last this whole time?

    Thank you! Yes I used various methods of sleeping inside a camper shell, a RTT, and a ground tent (OzTent) all of which had their advantages and disadvantages. So does this camper, but I love being able to shelter from unpleasant weather with a very comfortable space when the need arises.

    El Salvador is 2700+ miles from San DIego area
    Wow! That must be a gen1 record
    I thought the insane 1800+ mile taco trek to Key West Florida (by way of north Michigan) in a 300k miles 26 year old truck was long lol
