I've told some of my friends that if I got a used truck, the first thing I'd
do is fill it up with manure and drive it through fast-food drive-throughs
car washes, snooty neighborhoods, park it in an indoor garage like at the
Mall...you get the idea.

In more ways than one.  How could you DO such a thing!?!  There are always
work-arounds.  $21K isn't bad though. :P  I don't know man.  I just derive
too many good things from the camper.  And for my up-coming job change, I
will probably need it more.  I will be working longer hours on a more regular
bases.  I will also be finishing the (other) house and won't need to haul
anything for a while (knock on wood).  As I implied before, the truck would
have to be a third (3rd) car.

Good Luck...

Steven
