Hello all,
New member and happy to have found this forum. Definitely not new to camping (having done everything from tenting to class A to travel trailer to toy hauler back to tenting and then most recently a A-Frame trailer. We definitely “wander the west” based in Alberta and camping from Alaska to Colorado. We were very happy with our highly modified Aliner and had no ideas of changing when a opportunity came along for a 2003 Hallmark Guanella LX w/2003 GMC Sierra 2500 HD duramax. Both are in new condition having had very little usage and been garage stored when not in use. The truck is a regular cab long box 2WD - not ideal as I would have preferred 4WD, but again it’s in amazing condition with new E rated tired, air compressor/bags and only 90,000km (55,000 mi). So, put the Aliner up for sale (sold in 2 days) and now looking forward to joining the pop-up truck camper world. I will be asking plenty of questions in the appropriate forums as there are many upgrades I would like to make to both the truck and Guanella LX. For the truck I’m looking at things like an e-locker, front winch, and Wilco Offroad hitchgate. For the Guanella I have spoken with Bill Ward and I am planning a trip to the Hallmark factory to have some accessories added including a rear ladder, roof rack, maxtrax, and shovel/axe kit. I look forward to talking to you all and getting feedback from others who have done similar things.
Cheers,
Thomas
