    When I was in high school, I went backpacking up in the Porcupine Mountains State Park in the U.P. & took a hammock, tarp, and a sleeping bag. Didn't matter if the ground was rocky, unlevel, or what have you...slept real good every night.

    Only things I would say adjust and use your mirrors and yes g.o.a.l., when you go for your test drive the time you take adjusting mirrors seat , per trip ect takes a he edge off your nerve s and gives the perception to the test or that you are quality minded etc . A t rUE proffesional , also seems to me that the sleeper trucks some seem to have more cab rocking than day cabs , but that just gives you excuse to take your time and be smoother. Just my .03¢

    Hey PB, here's where we agree. Porkies are awesome. My favorite place in the Mid-West. They don't call it Lake "Superior" for nothing! I backpacked in the Porkies too, Lake of the Clouds, beautiful!

    In the event you wind up in a Pro Star or a 387 Pete, you won't have a back window, but what you do have are sleeper windows. If or whenever you need some additional viewing backing up, just remove the privacy shades.

    I drove my Pro Star for 2 months before I realized it. Granted, it's not a rear window per se, but any additional help, whenever backing, is always welcome.
