MT, I sold my Larson a couple years back.  

Heres the deal, we're tired of pulling a trailer and not having a decent sized boat to fish out of. Thus, the reason for a 1 ton truck, camper, and after Januarys boat show, hopefully a 19 foot North River Seahawk (Oregon)

They aren't cheap, but you can't beat an Alaskan Camper. They are located in Chehalis, WA. I'm pretty sure they are still a family run business. Great quality stuff. I think they invented the pop-up type camper too.

Pretty darned close MT. That one looks like the next size up from what I saw.  

Mr.Black, I stand by my original statement.:aok
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Pretty useless for tight trails work LOL.
And you gotta watch the deep stuff cause at 7.200 pounds
it will sink like the bismark.
But it is fun to pull people out of mud holes with.

On a trip to Colorado 2 years ago I pulled a families mini van out of a snow bank and back onto the road for them.
Alot of guy's charge people for that but I could not bring myself to.

And RPM371 I'm sure they where glad of my big and fragile ego and my big truck cause it was 0*c and they were getting very cold.
