For our first item on the tour of the exterior is ironically the interior of the cab of the truck:
The sticker collection, one from every resort we skied plus some to represent favorite areas that don't have a resort. All started unintentionally by Jess on our first stop with the gift of a Beaver Mtn sticker...
The console, nothing too special, just a pickup from 1991 with a modern radio/headunit, featuring usb, aux, bluetooth, am/fm, and a remote control!
Dueling mirrors, never perfect and not quite sufficient, but one seems to always complement the other to make it work. I didn't hit anyone all year.
Behind the boxes is a custom triangular hole in the camper to allow light from the trucks tail lights to be seen from the side.
More buckets and the belly bar portion of the camper mount. Ratchet straps attached through the rear of the running board to the belly bar below.
The back or is it the front?
Closeup of the very cracked tail light, clip to hold the door open and another exterior compartment used for tow strap, shovel, oil, ratchet straps, etc.
The port side features Utah camper registration stickers dating back to 1977, as well as key-less entry and a latch that can be locked open to ensure we don't get locked inside (forgot to mention on the interior tour, there is indeed an emergency exit window as well).
Some specs, in case you were interested...
The trailer hitch step! I didn't think I was going to be a step guy, I was fine without it, I'm too hardcore to use a step... but I'm a step guy now. Am I not supposed to put pictures of my license plate on the internet? You can see it on the road all over the west, why not on the internet also?
The rear most lower portion of the camper houses a 20lb propane tank on each side. The fastest we went through both tanks was 21 days. We'll be trying hard to burn more propane next winter.
There she is in all her glory, back to Utah for another hot summer of repairs and cleaver modifications. See you back on the road next winter!
