Out with the Old in with the NEW !!!

Recently I purchased a Ameri-Camp trail x toyhauler to use as my base station when I would go on overnight rides. I believed after much consideration that I had purchased the perfect toy hauler for my needs.
Everything was just perfect until I invited my wife ( Mandi ) along for a trip to WV for a CMA rally. Once we got there and she saw all the other toy haulers that were there she comented that if she was going to be coming along on trips that we might need to look into getting something a little larger.
At first I thought she was just making small talk. As soon as we got home she started encouraging me to look into some other options for a toy hauler. So, I began scouring the internet looking for a suitable and affordable upgrade. Since I had the blessings from my wife I looked at possibly a class A motorhome, but quickly decided that that wasn't really for me. Then I pondered a larger tag alone, but didn't want to pull something any larger than I already had on the bumper. Since I had already traded my old truck for a F250 to pull the toy hauler I had just purchased, a fifth wheel seemed to be the best option.
So, without further ado, I traded my smaller toy hauler today for a 28ft Thor toy hauler with the blessings from my wife. Not sure if she just loves me, are she just wants to keep and eye on me when I go off with you guys.
Also she told me while we were at the CMA rally that she thinks she might want to learn how to ride a motorcycle.
Life is Good.
I think the name on the toy hauler fits me to a tee.

It's been my pleasure to have met Mandi and from my perspective, Wildhair got the deal of the year when he said "I do".

Very similar to the Thor toyhauler my riding buddy recently bought. His is a bit shorter though, I think, and has the regular hitch. It will double as his 'hunt camp' this season.
