Penguin's New Toy

[Silver Penguin]

No more toys. We're done. We've got everything we could possibly wish for (and will be paying for, for quite some time). This is the absolute last one. First time out was this weekend.

We bought the truck first. It's a 2004 F350 diesel 4x4 with crew cab and long bed. It's factory lifted and came with the towing package.

Our new home away from home is a 2006 Fleetwood Gearbox.

Siggy and Zeus gave it their seal of approval, by licking all the windows.

Only three of the bikes are ours, but the joy of camping with a group is being able to share the cool toys.

After an all girls ride.

After a weekend spent 'camping' (if you can call it that) in the lap of luxury, we may never go back to a tent again. (Unless we're bike camping, of course). Counting the days until our next desert adventure. Ten more days.....

You guys are way too cool for school, Jillybean !

Me, I'm still looking forward to my first camping trip. So I'll prolly never aspire to your heights !

This is the absolute last one.

Riiiiiight... sure it is...

The first step to recovery is being able to admit that you've got a problem.

Looks like great fun!

Yeah, but then you have to want to make a change... I don't think she does...

Jill - We were discussing your new toy and what it might be on the Temecula Doffo Winery run. At lunch I guessed it would be a Toy Box to go with the truck of doom. Very cool. I bet you'll spend lots more time out in the desert. The dogs look right at home.

Enjoy. :yahoo:

I had to go dig up your topic from when you got the truck. You finally got a farkle for it!

Grats!

I think I'm gettin' close to selling mine, want to replace the truck camper/truck combo with a class-C toy hauler. Basically, the non-trailer version of what you got. I'm thinking bunk beds down one wall of the garage for the kids to sleep on, and the FJR on the other side.

You're, like, the dream wife: "Honey, let's buy another motorized toy with rubber tires!"

I'm really npressed that you where able to get 7 bikes in your new toy hauler.

 

[MojaveFJR]

We've been thinking about a toy hauler too, about that size. Looks like a lot of fun. Beats spending money on a hotel room at times.

Congrats.

Looks like Cal-city. Should let us know, maybe we will be able to come out and roost with ya.

Nice setup, I'd be tempted to sell the house if I had something like that ! Being as I'm about to become a 2005 KTM owner, wondering if you have any feedback on all the Orange I saw there ? How do the girls like their bikes, any desert specialized farkles ?

 

[beemerdons]

Very nice, Jill! With the way you, Andy and the pups like to camp and ride: This'll serve you well for many years to come and you can't wear out a Ford pickup, either!

 

[johnny80s]

Very nice! You might be able to start a business hauling bikes to and from FJR Owners meetings.

Well, I don't think you're done yet, Jill.....

Ya see, now there's farkles for the truck. Click Here to spend Money

+1000 :clapping:

:lol:

 

[UberKul]

Me likey! I really really really want your flagpole though. My wife won't let me have one :cray: ...and thinks I'm a big dork for wanting one.

A solid driving day could put you in Smith Nevada on Oct 8th, hint hint.

Congrats :yahoo:

When we were talking about this at the winery I was hoping you got a toy hauler. You are going to love having your home on wheels instead of that tent. I have had my hauler for 5 or 6 years now and still love it. If you have any questions or need help feel free to ask. I know more then I wish to admit and spent way to much time on RV.net before I discovered the FJR forum.

When and where is your next trip? I would love to join you. You can never have enough camping friends

Here are a few pics of my set up
