Tundra and a Raven

So I left rainy southern California and headed north to 4WC for the install, I decided to take the scenic route to avoid LA and enjoy the Mojave with some rain. the trip over Tehachapi is always a fun one and a little snow was nice to see.





Stopped in Fresno to see my son and continued on the next day, when I arrived I was welcomed by Tom and his wonderful staff, offered coffee, water etc. in their comfortable waiting room. Shortly after I got to go out and look at my new Raven. These campers are the Swiss army knife of campers, to say I was like a kid a Christmas would be an understatement!



After a quick look the 4WC installation specialists took care to do it right and were gracious enough to let me peer over their shoulder most of the time and answer my two hundred questions.





After the camper was installed Stan gave me a very detailed "walk through", and explained all of the features, raising and lowering the top, heating and water, lighting and the opening and closing of the Fiamma awning. I was on the road by 1pm for my 590 mile trip home. At 1395 pounds the truck handled differently, but because of Toyotas overbuilding of the Tundra the truck didn't have any side effects. The airbags leveled it up and the Icons smoothed it out.
Took this shot on the way south, got home late, sat back and enjoyed a double rye.
More pictures and details to follow...

:sombrero:We went out to Fish Creek right around 15 above sea level and set up. Amazing, you pull up, pop the latches, push up and your ready for a cold one! Crank out the Fiamma awning and your ready to relax.





Planning on doing a detailed post on the interior, once I have got it packed just right.

Here's a shot of the rear LED work lights from 200 yds. away. they definitely put out the light!



The truck worked like a dream, the Icon shocks and airbags allowed me to travel a sixty on a washboard road and it felt like asphalt! The only negative thing is the passengers side piggyback shock reservoir, contacted the air bag mounting plate and cut the ABS wire, I since have flipped the reservoir to the other side and ordered a new wire. No 4WD in deep sand, but the 390 HP pulled it thru!!

Going to post up interior shots next week. 15K for the basic shell model, then you add what you want. Go to 4WC website and you can figure an exact price. I'm very happy with the quality of the camper and everyone at the factory.
