We finally had a chance to take out the starcraft. We are veteran campers and had no problems setting it up. It was our first time out with a 2 month old infant. The unit fits our family well. The side tent had the peapod plus, playmat and diaper station. Our 3 year old loved the rear top bunk and our lab slept at the foot of the rear bunks. We had the baby sleep in a travel swing for the night. Ill try the peapod later this evening. The k3500 cc performed well, 8ft bed full of whatever and no wdh needed. Haha one ton 169"wb towing!

Just make sure you child proof your rig. I have read stories of little ones falling out of the beds onto the ground.

I am towing 4000lbs with a 1 ton truck, and the truck has a 169" wheel base. I do not have any issues loading the bed with gear, hooking up an ultra light htt, and going. As for the second night, it rained, dealt with leaking window canvas, and wicked condensation everywhere. I had windows up/slightly open, bunk fans spinning, two glass windows opened, and heat. Nothing could compete with the rain/temp gradiant. The tents are permenantly attached, and I have a pea pod plus, as well as wedge to keep from rolling out, or off the kids beds.
