The search continues....

It is totally insane looking at Rv's and trailers. The used ones cost almost as much as new.

I started looking at Class C's- small ones you could drive. Most that I saw in my price range, -0- (kidding!) were either smelly, needed a total overhaul, or were 30 years old.

We started looking at new trailers, the kind you haul. Put a thousand or so down, finance the rest. But I really don't want to finance much.

I did go see this today:


It really looks better in "real life" than this pic.


It has a front "bedroom"- a queen bed with cupboards above and on both sides. It also has bunks- one on top of the other.

AND the bathroom sink is in the bathroom NOT outside of it like a lot of models we've seen.


I love the kitchen area- so clean looking....




It also has tons of storage AND an outdoor shower!

I really like it, it's only a 2003- not too old, but...

it still cost almost the same as new!

Our friends found a pop-up camper for $750!

They had to sew a rip and there's no furnace in it, but heck....

Of course, we are planning on camping a little more than them, and we have a kid or two tagging along, so we need a little more room and heat.

Most pop-up's cost more than regular trailers as a rule. I keep thinking we will luck out if I just keep my eyes open.

If not, we may need a little more time. I was hoping to leave on our maiden voyage on August 1st.

The search continues....
