| I know I've talked to a few of you. But I'm looking at a forest river wolf pack. 24 pack 14+ or a Vengence 25V Any body have any experience good or bad with them or maybe suggestions on other brands. | |

| Your campers nice. Just setting up a fifth wheel for my truck is pricey with my narrow bed. | |

| Hope you find what you are looking for. Like Bush said, Holman Brothers is hard to beat if they have what you are looking for. | |

| I've looked at Holman RV and Paul Sherry RV web sites both have what I'm looking for for about the same price. Just have to decide. Paul Sherry is 40 min and Holman is about an hour and a half. But also who can give me the best deal. | |

| I have a Wolfpack 325 pack 13 and so far no real horror stories. Only some small issues that I fixed at home. I had looked at the bumper pull version with 13 ft garage at Holman and liked it but wife wanted the 5ver. I ended up buying from London, Ky. They were a little more expensive but they had it in stock and it wasn't the base model like Holman had. | |

| Just some food for thought. I have a Forest River 295 WP. I'm considering selling for 25K. We all know how a pocket full of president Franklin's has a way of persuading the mind of the seller.
I was going to also include the Super Slider hitch, from the back of my Dodge mega cab. Didn't want to pull the frame mounts for hitch, just the hitch. But, i guess due to President Franklin, i might be persuaded,,,,if you have a Dodge short bed.
The reason i chose this unit, initially, was because of the open floor plan and everything important, was oversize, ( ac, all water tanks, arctic package, hot water heater,). Also has 5k generator. I also didn't have to worry about,,, " will the new machine fit". My Maverick Max fits fine along with grandsons atv.
It was my first RV and I've heard the horror stories from, "seasoned", RV owners. I can honestly say I've been more than happy with this unit. I have replaced the motor for the electric awning, and magneto's, (spark coils), in generator. Other than that, life has been good.
Not trying to sell this to you, but just giving you some food for thought. I will admit though, i am using this to pimp a sale to anyone who is reading. Also i am welcoming any questions, you might have, before you spend your hard earned cash on something. I don't believe there is a perfect set up for all we do. But it costs nothing to talk to all and come up with what you are truly going to do with a unit. | |

| Jut saw you post CRS. I did make decision on one and the price is right. I was able to sell the cargo camper quicker than I expected but gives me more time to prep for spring ride. Still have to get a small trailer be to haul the rzr for maintenance and cleaning to the house from storage | |

| No biggie, was not trying to sell you my set up. I am in the market to sell mine, but i also know, it is not for you.
I was opening , or trying too, the conversation of toy hauler space/misconceptions, and also hitches for short bed trucks.
Glad you found what works for you and look forward to seeing you again as always. | |

|  . So I made my decision. Pulls nice even with RZR. Has decent amount of room and should be nice for the two of us. Or just me | |

| Looks great Scott. We're glad you made the choice. Remember they are only worth the money, if you use them often. | |

| Congratulations. Now go camping every chance you get. I'm thinking of going the pigeon forge this weekend. Camp sites are cheap this time of year and I can't do a whole lot with a 5lb lifting restriction. So why not. | |

Wish I didn't volunteer to be a color guard at a 4th Degree Exemplification for the K of C's in Radcliff KY this weekend I would have met you there. Need to try out the new truck. We are working the river Flooding hard at work too. | |

I'm only 2 1/2 hr away from pigeon forge so let me know if you go and wouldn't mind company. | |

I have some of my inspectors working nights and some of the day on pump duty trying to get the water over the floodwalls, meaning we are all working our butts off on that and trying to answer the other normal issues. Some people think we are GOD. If you go, have fun and don't mess up the back anymore. | |

Much more our pace and a lot less traffic. | |

Mine is 41' so it is about max since very few are pull thru sites. I usually stay in the deluxe sites as they are only a few dollars more than the rest. Best time is in the summer though. $10 and you can raft all day and they shuttle you back up the river. | |

| We ended up staying home.
Last few times we went we stayed at river plantation. If you know the back roads it's not bad. I hate going on the weeks tho. Next time we go i will go check out some that was suggested. | |
