New RV
We are hard core campers (well not really camping – hunting/fishing as well :biggrinn: ) here in Missouri. There are roughly 200 parks in the state and over half are just south of me in the Ozarks. Anyways, my wife decided we needed something to test out the new truck which is setup to tow nearly 12k lbs max. We only went 7122 dry weight. 😉 After she loads all of her stuff who really knows.
Its a Coachman Freedom Express – Liberty Edition (37′ – 3 slides – sleeps 10) (2 kids, spouses and a baby often join or some of them) (it’s loaded like a Platinum Ford truck 😛 ) Don’t believe the asking price there is a lot of markup on these things so I paid a lot less. I also had them throw in a $1000 hitch upgrade over our current one with the 25 ft trailer we are trading in and also adding a 2nd solo AC in the master bedroom. It comes with central heat and air with ducts but has an option for a second one just for the master bedroom. I like the fan at night. 😉 That was another $1000. :suprisedn: It’s setup with two HDTVs and two Blu-ray players and we take our PS4 for rain and some nights after fires. lol I am working on a portable DISH sat and it is all setup for it. They let you buy the programming monthly on the RV ones. No contract. It’s maiden flight is trout fishing leaving on this Friday.

(same model but leatherette seats and better pictures IMO – ours has cloth seats at above link) Second TV goes in back. Dinette is a 7′ queen bed. Couch folds out to a queen bed. Master bedroom is a queen bed. Then the back room has a queen bed (from futons), a dinette that is a full bed and two bunks. The bunks are only 6′ for short people or kids. 😛 In reality the kids and baby can use the back room so we don’t have to mess up the main room at night. Ceiling is 6′ 9″.

Well this was the wife. Don’t lay that on me. :biggrinn: We already had a 2010 25 ft. Jayco. Just a bit of an upgrade she felt like we needed. :suprisedn: If we are in the far bedrooms with the doors closed I can’t hear her yelling at me in the new one. :rofl:
Now I am going through this seasons camping reservations and making sure the sites can accommodate this beast.
Holy mother of dragons, you bought One of those? :suprisedn:
Cool 😉
Fort Yates, ND where we have been pdoggin’ the last five years has a beautiful campground right on the peninsula in the Missouri river where it widens at Fort Yates. It was always a part of the plan. 😉 Before that we stayed at the local Indian casino (Prairie Knights). We get one truck to go shooting and the women get one vehicle to go gambling all day. :rofl: Fort Yates is a tiny town and there is nothing for 50 miles in any direction except prairie dogs, horses and cows, and that casino. Oh and some missile silos. The area is very green and often cool and not arid like SD or WY. I think that is why we keep going back even though there are fewer sod poodles overall I would say. We saw no other hunters the last time and had unlimited shooting. If there were a lot of hunters it might be tougher. We are hunting all private property. Once we started asking we got inundated with places to hunt.
I bet your Wyoming location is about the same distance as Fort Yates for us. We make it in a full day but it looks like you have a hike. :suprisedn:
They keep raising the license fees. Now $125 for us pale faces. In the 90s I can remember something like $10 for license plus $2 for a stamp. Its a lot of fun and still worth every penny.

Very nice Coda, I see it even has a shooting bench built in. nice!
