Finally took the beast for a week.end camp. Couldn't take much gear, as we have issues in the weight department. Tended to pitch a lot, and was sensitive to the wind (sideways sway), but semi-trailers didn't effect it. As for the TV, poor reception, not watchable. Looks like I have to get a WDH, the plac...
