Back Woods camping Fun
We thought it might be fun to try a different approach this summer, so we purchased a Dynamax 37 Grand Sport on a Columbia Freightliner chassis with a 450 Mercedes and a 4000 series Allison transmission, a couple of slides rugged enough to head out to the out of the way places we like to explore, hiking biking and Kayaking, enough clearance to get in and out of State, National and Provincial Parks, hydraulic Jacks plenty of propane, 2 big furnaces, 2 large airs, 3000 watt inverter, 4 house Batteries and lots beer stored in 2 refrigerators. We want to see if we can maneuver in and out of tight locations with a little more ease than the past 2 summers. There are real trade offs out of the box, having some difficulty getting used to the engine up front, extra noise, extra airbags would be nice, but the ability to maneuver, the extra tight ride and road handling, outrageous power from the 450 HP Mercedes seems to make up for the other so far, we do miss the the bus some times. Will see how the season shapes up, heading to Canada via Mackinaw around to Georgian Bay, will keep you abreast of the ride.
