Well I jumped on another camper this week.  Found this online.  1968 Sprite 400 Camper.  Needs some loving but I'm willing to do it.  10 Foot Box only weighs 880 Lbs.  Sure hope the r-pod gets along with her.

My wife is already starting to make plans for it.  Hmmm she did not want something with out a bathroom but now starting to think about how to mod this unit all the way out.  She said something about a "glamper".  Now I'm wondering what she would say if I pulled up with a true tear drop camper.

Kickstart has a point, you've managed to make a 171 look large!  :-)

The Rpod 171 is huge!  once this other unit is finished I'm going to work on a true teardrop camper 10' X 5' .  She is wanting me to get rid of the Truck Camper but that stays till the remodel is done.  Looks like a used Trailer place on my back yard right now as I have our 3 units plus 2 others being stored for the winter.

On the trip home pulling 86 miles I saw 18.1 miles to the Gallon on the Truck Computer.  Going down was 18.3 miles to the Gallon.  I just had the camper weighed for the title work and it cames in at 749 Lbs.  and that was with my tool Box in the camper.  I did not even feel the camper pulling it back.
