The BIG Decision

A few years ago, I had daydreams of going on camping trips in an RV! ( I know, sounds funny).  I even went so far in my dreams to think that we might tour the west in an RV and stop at quaint little RV parks with grassy knolls that overlook scenic vistas!  Well, after much planning and begging, we finally got a camp trailer.

The trailer worked out nice for us, and we were able to go camping on the mountain, Sand Hollow, and Lake Powell.
HOWEVER...
This Spring, we found a great deal on a NEWER Trailer.

I am afraid these pictures don't really do it justice, but you get the idea.  It has 2 slide outs, so you can fit a lot of stuff in there and it makes it nice when you are camping.... We only had one problem when we bought the trailer--Our truck.  It didn't seem like it would have enough power to pull it up hills.  So we had to make a decision.  Should we sell the new tailer?  Should we buy a bigger truck?  Should we take our chances, and just go slow up the  hills?
Our Decision:
Announcing the FORD F250 SUPER DUTY

We are excited for the new truck!  So, bring on the grassy knolls... here we come!

Can we come with you to Anaheim and go to Disneyland? We would also like to go to Yellowstone. I can't believe you got a new truck. Now at least you don't have to worry. I will miss your toyota.
