Finally getting back around to this....sorry I have been AWOL... Long story short, I have been the sole caregiver for an elderly uncle--severe dementia, was getting worse day-by-day this spring...he passed away on June 21st. He was eating up 20-40 hours a week, plus trying to keep my business...
UPDATE: After several hectic weeks with family and work, I finally had some free time tonight and thought I'd work thru some emails and PM's from folks about the trip, and post some updates on the various forums.

I PM'd Cabell the other day, unfortunately, I am out, too. Working on one of the biggest work projects I have done in years, and just got word of major changes coming at another client. On top of that, found out yesterday my mom is having some health issues that will force us to stay close...
Yep, that's me.
Oh, she's great about camping, tent or the S250...just not when it's hot and no electric for the a/c.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the 715 and the camper there...the new pickup doesn't pull as strong as my old truck.
Don...glad to see you found this thread, I was going to email you tonight and clue you in. I had a guy stop by the house last week to look at the 715 and he told me about it.
Renee and I are talking about coming out and camping.
