In other news, we were very pleased to find that the 'ol girl started this morning. It was -12F last night. The brand new batteries I just bought were vindicated. I had thought I'd need to connect the generator to the block heater for several hours, but despite the fairly slow turnover she eventually fired. 6.2l GM diesel with Banks turbo, FWIW.

I hope to find an used Ford F-350 gasser as well but I heard about new truck in 2020 with even bigger motor plus I think getting the new aluminum truck bed sounds good too to save the weight for the camper. But the new truck is oh so pricey...

Someone should steal this!

If that had been available before I bought mine, it would have been a no-brainer.

We had local SLC guy build a ski box for the back of the sprinter. Holds 5 pair up to 202cm long. Held by movable posts that the skis slot between. I try and have the posts rest on a ski strap to avoid tip compression. Poles fit as well.
Keeps the snowy skis out of the van but protects from the elements.

I really like the adventure trailer idea. Also an easy way to expand on a truck camper for events where you want to sleep more people. Not much more to ask of the truck either, but I think it makes chaining up mandatory (depending on conditions) in this part of the world.

I still really want to build my own version of one of those. Thought it'd be a kick-ass project. Just need space money and time I dont have. But you could do it. Especially if you bought the walls prefab from somewhere like total composites.
There's a homemade earthroamer type Ford on expo for sale that is super rad. But like 160k.

Oh yes. We had a discussion about it a long time ago(maybe a year ago now?) when everybody was talking about diesel vs gas vs price comparison.
The Ford 6.2 is solid, just gets overshadowed by the 6.7 diesel. I am in the exact same boat. I have a 2002 Dodge SRW 2500 24v cummins with 308k on it and I am seriously thinking about going with a 2011+ Ford F-350 6.2. Here in Colorado, you can find nice 2011-15 Ford F-250/350's with say 100k on them for $15k and 20k on the high side. That is literally 15-20k cheaper than their diesel counterparts.
I am in the debate to drive the wheels off of the 2002 Dodge 2500 24v, which I have been doing forever but like you, just because miles I will want to put a new injection pump($1k) and a new turbo($1k)..and a host of shit that could potentially go wrong with my 300k+ miles.
My truck always starts, has enough power, but I honestly just want something newer, rides nicer, isn't the loudest diesel ever made, and has no problems starting in cold weather. I am torn whether to just update/upgrade the ole' trusty 24v Cummins or go to a newer modern gas.
Also, the gas F250/350 have better payload capacity than the 6.7 diesel just due to diesel weight. If you don't need to tow heavy shit on the regular, it really is a no brainer....unless budget is a non-issue then go diesel.

Here is our earthroamer. I want an earthroamer I will admit but for now, it’ll do.

We've had a 2010 F-250 crew cab under our beater Northland for 7 years now I think. Put about 28K on it, paid $10K with 98K on the odo. Base model...vinyl floors, crank windows, cloth seats, manual locks. No motors to worry about. Perfect.
All I've done is brakes when I got it and tires.
The 5.4 isn't a beast but I can do 60 mph up Georgetown hill if I want to.

You got a 2 year old (at the time) f250 for 10k with sub 100k miles?

I've seen a few pop up just over the last 6 mo of browsing. Seems like if it's a 4x4 they triple the price. They seem to sell. Probably nowhere near asking but no way to know.
This is way cooler.
