Sweet! I really wanted a cab-over camper for a while, when I had my truck as a long bed.. I camp in the desert a lot and it would have been perfect, especially on my "camper special" truck
 just a few months ago my dad sold a '79 (i think) prowler travel trailer.. the thing was old school but it was soooo clean. When he got it it had been parked unused for years & years.. the thing was damn near perfect inside & out. He sold it for a song too, wish I had the money at the time to buy it. Oh well! Post pics asap! mike |

ok pics are posted, in the my newset toy album...it weighs alot, my mud flaps are about 3 to 4 inches off the ground, but with the camper on it, they are dragging the ground, i figure about 6 inches of squat, im gonna put on som over loads i think, but i hate to loose the smooth ride when my truck is empty, it rides like a caddy or lincoln....
