Prize for the winner, help me name my truck
A little bit of fun, some stories say that you are less likely to be stopped at the border (going north) if you have a personalized license plate.
Well, OK Nomads, "Help Me Name My Truck!"
Winner's prize is negotiable.

pop-up camper
Looks like a nice outfit Neal.
Who is manufacturer of the pop-up camper and are you happy with it?
Are there some brands of pop-up campers that you think are better for off road travel than others?
Thanks,
skipjack

Oso, you are so cool,
but I didn't want to post too many details about the truck; specifics would distract from concocting the message for the plate.
Anyhoo, it's a full size American pickup.
My recent submissions are:
EPIFNY
EPFNIA
LV2GO
DOGSLD
DOGTRK
CBAJA
BAJAGO
TOBAJA
The contest is still open.

Sorry, but even if you had a camper on your truck
"Rancho Relaxo" is already taken.

Skipjack, it is a Phoenix Coyote, made near Denver. This is their cheap line. It is made of solid 3/4 inch plywood with a Filon skin (fiberglass
reinforced nylon). It is good for four wheeling because it does not have the typical 1x2s stapled together construction. It is bad for cold winters
because there is no insulation in the walls. No structural problems in six years of medium hard four wheeling (bolted to the bed). We lead free trips
all over the Southwest and Baja/Mexico for the Barstow, CA museum, see http://desertexplorers.org .
The other proven four wheeling camper is the Four Wheel Camper http://www.fourwheelcampers.com/ which has an aluminum frame and is more expensive. I suspect any aluminum framed camper would four wheel OK.

How about these snappy answers to those time consuming border questions?
USCTZEN
02DECLR
NOTHING
NOFRUIT
JST1LTR
Or you could tempt fate by trying some reverse psychology:
SERCHME
CHKTRNK
SCNDARY
DOGSNIF
SMUGLR
COYOTE
But my personal favorite is the real secret to getting through quickly:
I♥SNTRI
