I never buy myself anything but I may have gone off the deep end with this:

I saw it on CL and it was a bargain, 2006, used twice, still smells new, too :D
Carolyn
Caribou, no deep in here - that looks awesome!
The wife and I are in the market for one ourselves.
Enjoy!
That is a top of the line fifth wheel and exactly what i'm looking for, Nice choice!!! I purchased a new F-350 in 2009 and still saving for the fifth wheel.
Nice!
Thanks guys!
I was originally shopping for used bumper pull trailers but we do not have the best area to turn around once you get back here.
So a little 5th wheeler works out really well for us and we have just one child so it's a nice fit.
We have a Dodge 2500 Cummins to pull and it doesn't even seem to know it's there :)
Carolyn
Nice toy! Congrats ;D
That looks nice Carolyn.
A smokeout traveler unit :D
SO THERE :D
Carolyn...I hope you enjoy your fifth wheel, we had 5 different motor homes and traveled the US and Canada we hit every state with the exception of Hawaii...enjoy
Looks like the perfect unit for you guys. Your gonna love it.
Way cool Carolyn. Looks great!

Thats all that needs to be said for pulling power.
Hope you guys enjoy your new home away from home.
SWEET!!! Awesome fifth wheel AND a Dodge 2500 with the Cummins!!! Just color me jealous!!
Ray
Thanks :)
don't be too jealous, the truck is a 2006, too. ;)
When I bought it my husband was kinda annoyed and kept calling it "your trailer"
After we got the hitch installed and picked it up, he drove it home and parked it and now calls it "our trailer" ;)
He didn't realize how easy it was to tow and maneuver
We're taking it out for it's first over-nighter in a couple weeks.
Carolyn
What time do you want us to gather outside and serenade you with a fine selection of lullabies?
We can also provide a wide selection of animal sounds....I hear that NePaS does a nice African lion and a spot on Cougar screech. I've been told that I do a passable Tarzan call and I'm working on my Australasian Kookaburra bird call.
I can not guarantee that you will get much sleep.....I'm not sure if it's from fear.......or from the pain in your sides from laughing 'till it hurts!!! ;D ;D ;D
Ray
Nice "5'er"!
You probably already know this, but check the date codes on the trailer tires, five years is a long time in tire-speak.
I put new tires on our class-c last year or so, and they only had 20k miles on them, but they were hitting six years old according to the date codes, and starting to show some cracks and stuff. Better safe than sorry.
I've put like 12k on the new ones already ;D
Nice!!!!! Enjoy. Can I borrow it this weekend?
That is a dream of ours. NICE!!! Hope we get that lucky some day soon. :)
Now you can come to the next Midwest smokeout and park next to the Seemores!

Yes,
we are replacing the tires and the batteries (though they seem to be keeping a charge)
We're stripping and re-caulking areas around the edge of the rubber roof and the front nose.
The rig was hardly used but also sat out in the elements so there is definitely some overdue maintance.
Luckily no leaks anywhere.
We do not get too hot here, it's the freeze/thaw that gets ya.
After we winterize it mid-October it's going into our pole barn.
Carolyn
Congrates Carolyn.
You and the Family will have a great time with that.
Congrats Carolyn!
We too have been looking for a fifth wheel. You guys will really enjoy that.
Mike
Very Nice!
Deep End?...
This life ain't no dress rehearsal.
ENJOY!!!
