That kind of reminds me of johns first camper only with added rip-outs...sort of.



I am into "downsizing". My next boat will be an 8 footer. :-)

I think those are referred to as 'pop-outs'. Ours had a slide, but none of the pop-outs.

It's not a traveling hotel suite though. Little, 17 foot
"hybrid" ... the type that the ends fold out forming a queen bed on one
end and a full bed on the other.

Bought it from a friend who is up-sizing. He took meticulous care of it
(reminds me of you) and all it needed was a new battery. Canvas covers
for the ends are like new because he always covered them with a tarp
when in use.

Only weighs 2900 lbs dry, so the GMC Canyon handles it with no problem.
It is rated to tow up to 7,000 lbs.

Plan is for local trips once in a while, just as a diversion and
something to do. Probably spend some weekends or maybe a week or so
down at that campsite in Bourne that overlooks the Cape Cod Canal.


Thought you mentioned a modest sized travel trailer a while back...or does that belong to the wife?

I've been thinking of a hybrid trailer in that size range but they've gotten very expensive up here since our dollar dropped in value. Used to see the new trailers in the $18K range but now closer to $25K

You were thinking of one a couple years back. Here you go!

Nice! That might be a bit much for his Highlander (or whatever he's running now). That's almost the
size we started with - 19'.

What did you do with that Sprinter chassi'd rig you had? That would be perfect for trips to the
cape.

Sold the Sprinter back in 2011. At the time we rarely used it. Bought
it new in 2005 and after 5 years it still only had less than 5K miles on
it. A retired guy and his wife flew out from Minnesota, bought it and
drove it home. For a couple of years he sent me emails occasionally
with pictures of places they had visited in it. Haven't heard from him
in quite a while and my email address has changed since then.

Say what?
My Highlander is rated for 5000 lbs....down to 4000 when the safety factor of 80% is added in.
Richard said his new trailer weighs 2900 lbs.

I thought you taught high school math to those inner city kids.... oh wait a minute, they didn't do so well, eh!

See what I mean...11 years old and they still want over $5K for it. Doesn't even look like a 12 footer...maybe a ten.

BTW..wife wouldn't go for it....no bathroom.

Most of those in that size have a head and even a tiny shower. Much better to use the bathhouse at the campground in that case. If you have a 20+ footer, you can enjoy a shower in a decent sized bathroom.

Harry had a different solution. He locked his head and provided a
briefcase toilet for his SO to use.
