Decided to go get our elk hunting camp updated, we have been camping here for over 10 years, it is on a private 180,000 acre ranch.
thy have had 17 inches of rain this monsoon season which is why there is grass.

Day 1, we got in at about 5pm Wednesday.

Day 2, we moved over 50 tons of rock from the quarry on the ranch. No more dust or mud

Our second to last trip of the season. We had two trips from GA to ID earlier this year, so we are only staying local at a ACoE campground 8 miles from our home.

Enjoy the nice fall weather everyone!

Thanks for the compliment. Creating the video was more difficult than installing the T4 kit and turbo...

I hope your adventures are good to you as well!

Picked up this 5th wheel last month. 2022 Shasta Phoenix 355fbx.

Changed to a Reese GooseBox 16k since I have multiple other gooseneck trailers.

Trailer pulls great! Took a maiden trip from Cincinnati to Ocean City, MD - by going over Summit Mountain in PA on US40 (12% grade!)

Finally, the search is over. 2016 Grand Design 27RL. Took 2 years of looking and almost settling for a different make model. Covid didn't help matters. I towed it home with an Anderson Ultimate only because I didn't want install my Goose Box in the sellers yard.

Very nice JSM180. Congrats! We almost bought one of those before we settled on a Pinnacle. I really like all of the Grand Designs. Especially the Solitudes.

We live about 15 miles away as the crow flies. The Massanutten Mountain makes it about a 25 mile drive.

It looks to have a deep underbody. Guessing more storage. I really like it.
