Could not remember my password for photobucket and didn't really feel like fighting with it. So Kelly did it this way... Hope it works. Best I could do for now. No pics of the inside until it looks decent! :oops:

Hey, from the outside, that doesn't look bad at all. And the truck looks great.
That one tire, not so much.
Sure beats a tent in the winter, I'd guess!
Congratulations...

Yeah that tire is a dead sucker!!! :lol: Will need a new rim too as the outside edge on that one is curled over now. :o :shock:

As to length? I really have no idea. Bossman said it's 26'. But I'm thinking it's longer than that. Haven't measured it but I'd like to. Would love to know the weight of the thing too.

As a roof over our heads and walls????? Oh hell yeah! It beats a tent to Timbuktu and back again! :lol: :lol:

Right now the very best thing of all is that while our pockets are broke for now? We own both of them. NO PAYMENTS, all paid off. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Hey Echo, you all did good !!!! Hope the tire isn't a problem getting fixed, the rest looks good to me. Love the truck, (I'm a truck person, love them) Best of all , Paid for, that makes it the best of all rigs. You all are on your way. Hoping a winter job comes your way, so you'll be set even better, so we can see you back east here next year.

So happy for you all !!!

The TT looks great. Sure hope some work shows up for you two so you can get the tires replaced and other stuff needed taken care of. Hugs!

So happy to read you is not in the wind with your tent...gawd girl you got em...let me tell ya... I stand out side and the wind blows I'm ready to buckle up..big time .

Hope too that you can land something to hold you over for the winter months...and maybe be able to come more south....it's cold up in those hills.

Now I can't wait to hear the rest of your Adventures....by the way... Me thinks ya need a "new tire"....


God Bless

Echo, the TT's not bad at all. Actually pretty good for it's age. I expected to see it all duct taped up from your description. :o Stay warm. Linda

The TT looks good to me, and the truck is in nice shape!

I would like to get something like that, and leave it in a seasonal campground in Florida for the winter.

Echo, is this going to be your full time home?

Echo,

That's a nifty trailer. Big enough for the two of you and furry companions. Looks really nice and nice looking truck too. Now, you shouldn't be embarrassed to show the inside. How are we going to be able to see how much change you have made if we don't get a "before" and "after" picture. :)

Wow Echo...that looks like a 28-29 footer to me, but I think that sometimes they determine the length with the hitch and other times without. I loved having two doors in our TT, wish we had them in the 5er. From the looks of the window arrangement you have a front living room, a middle kitchen and a back bedroom. That tire certainly looks scary but the truck sure looks sweet! ;) Anxious to see the inside pictures.
My mind works like lightning...one brilliant flash and it's gone.
