I chose the external frame ,It's what they call the traditional setup, 80% of the time I'm going to be truck camping. And most likely if I go in any distance I'll be using one of those glorified deer carts. I was worried I got too big a size, But from the research it shows it's just right. I went ahead and got the summit wood stove,It's the cylinder style with the water tank and warming tray and the grate.
We just decided this is the year to do it. We are getting rid of a 2010 fully loaded camper.I think some of the guys call 'em
" Lawn ornaments ". Nothing like setting in a tent and hearing the sounds of the forest.
Thanks for the photos. Keep them coming guys
