loaded up and going out of town!




Camping on the old farm - free electric - old barn - sheds - and 80 acres to ride on - Best of all its free!



E4 was great to camp in. Of course I forgot stuff, but made due. I see many E4 trips in my future

Looks great. I hope you had fun. We took our E4 out this weekend also. I will get some pics up.

How did yours tow behind an F-150?

Cool! The ATV looks nice and comfy on that big platform. Hope everything went well. Our first trip is May 16-18. We can't wait.

The F150 pulled it nice. I'm not going to be passing everyone - but it has enough power to hold 70 on cruise. I did need to get some towing mirrors because this is one high and wide pup. I call it my pup on steroids.

Going from a class A to the E4 is actually a great thing! It was great to have the f150 to drive to town - and the E4 is wonderfull to camp in. I love the "tent" feel with the all or more comfort of my class A. The full kitchen and bathroom was

I have the standard mirrors, not the ones like yours and I use the CIPA mirror extenders. They are nice. I could hold 70 also this weekend, but the truck was happier at 66mph. It got about 12mpg when I held it there. The f-150 is fine for now, but when I need a new truck, we will be going to diesel.

you can get those mirrors for only $135/ea at www.tascafordparts.com....call domenic and he can hook you up. there is also a link on the website that has part numbers and the wiring diagrams so you can change your truck harness for the new mirrors to be fully functional.....if you 2 dont know about it...f150online.com is a really good f150 forum.....that is where i heard of this forum....i have a few write ups there where i installed the mirrors on my 06....i recently installed the new 08 rear camera on my new 08 f150....that thing is nice....no more wife telling me wrong and getting out 3-4 times to back to the trailer.......
