I just purchased a Keystone Copper Canyon last week. Only bad part is it is sitting at the dealer because I have to wait for my truck to show up at the dealership from the factory. We have been without a camper for a year and can't wait to get back out there.

There are two new Copper Canyon's in the park I'm current in. I see the two couples every now and again....

Ya know what? They always seem to have an ear to ear GRIN on their faces!

Congrats on the new rig. I take it that the new truck you are waiting for is the 2012 F250 in sig?

You know this thread ain't no good without pictures

With that rig still sitting at dealership..........have you already done the PDI?

And they are correcting the items noted from the PDI?

it is generally considered ok to tow early on. just take it easy until the truck has 500 miles or so. enjoy repeatedly

I'm planning on going for a few long drives before I tow to get at least 500 miles on the truck. I will post some pics when I get it.
