Just bought a "camper" for ****s and grins.

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.

The Scenic Park is a nice place to hang out. There should be a lot
of westbound boat traffic this time of year enroute to winter in
the Souf.

You need to take the camper on a road trip before winter sets in.
We can provide parking and all the comforts of home that the
camper might not provide.

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

Mrs.E. bought a little, egg shaped camper. We used it off and on for
one summer but I did a terrible job in checking it out thoroughly before
she bought it.

Turns out it had a window seal that had been leaking water for quite a
while apparently. The water ran down to the flooring inside the walls
and under the fake, vinyl "wood" floor. Couldn't see it visually but I
discovered that the floor underlayment had been soaking up the water and
had become soft in an increasing area.

Wasn't worth the time or money to replace the floor so we sold it. Gave
the buyer a full disclosure of the issue and he seemed to think it was
no big deal to fix. I disagree, but my conscience is clear. He also
got it at a very good price.

Needless to say, I checked out the one I just bought with a fine toothed
comb. I also know the owner and he's very diligent in maintaining his
toys. This one is in very good shape and was cheap.

Cool! Probably pretty cheap too. A little space heater will probably keep you snug as a bug in a rug
while down at Cape Cod. I'll bet you'll have a great time with it.

No need for a space heater really. It has all the stuff a "big" camper
has ... dual propane tanks, heat, AC, gas stove, microwave... even an
oven that has never been used. Ovens are dumb in little rigs anyway, I
think. What are you going to cook in them, a miniature turkey?

Use the campground's electricity! Your propane isn't free. Ovens are great for biscuits to go with
your sausage gravy. Although I have baked them on the BBQ.

We've got all the 'stuff' also, but a little office space heater is our heater of choice. Especially
in the bedroom, which is probably close in size to your whole rig.

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.

I have told ... ummm... "asked" my wife not to fill this little camper
up with all her "stuff" like she has in the past. Paper plates,
plasticwear and paper towels is enough. Electric space heater is a good
idea though.

We aren't planning any serious traveling in it. It's just for
occasional trips down the Cape just to break the monotony.

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!

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.

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.



Say what?
My Highlander is rated for 5000 lbs....down to 4000 when the safety factor of 80% is added in.

The dry weight is 2,930 lbs. Cargo carrying capacity is 1,200 lbs. So,
loaded to full legal capacity you'd be at 4,130 lbs. Seems your
Highlander should do ok as long as you install a brake controller for
the trailer. I am right where I wanted to be. Canyon is rated at 7,000
lbs max.

I get a kick out of how many people claim, "It tows like there is
nothing there". If I didn't "know" it was there, I'd immediately pull
over and go looking for it. :-)

That's dry weight. Once you get it loaded up with your stuff, LP and water, it'll be knocking on 4k lbs.

Right now I am more concerned with "tip-over". :-)

The remnants of Jose have stalled out about 150 miles southeast of
Nantucket but we are still getting some very strong wind gusts in our

strong enough to down trees and snap branches.

Cool! Probably pretty cheap too. A little space heater will probably keep you snug as a bug in a rug
while down at Cape Cod. I'll bet you'll have a great time with it.


No need for a space heater really. It has all the stuff a "big" camper
has ... dual propane tanks, heat, AC, gas stove, microwave... even an
oven that has never been used. Ovens are dumb in little rigs anyway, I
think. What are you going to cook in them, a miniature turkey?

Use the campground's electricity! Your propane isn't free. Ovens are great for biscuits to go with
your sausage gravy. Although I have baked them on the BBQ.

We've got all the 'stuff' also, but a little office space heater is our heater of choice. Especially
in the bedroom, which is probably close in size to your whole rig.

Our three best buys:

https://smile.amazon.com/Lasko-75420...s=space+heater

https://smile.amazon.com/White-Solid...ot+plate&psc=1

https://smile.amazon.com/Presto-0685...ric+frying+pan

Cheap, take up very little room, and use the campground's electricity!



I have told ... ummm... "asked" my wife not to fill this little camper
up with all her "stuff" like she has in the past. Paper plates,
plasticwear and paper towels is enough. Electric space heater is a good
idea though.

We aren't planning any serious traveling in it. It's just for
occasional trips down the Cape just to break the monotony.

I hope you taped your request to your wife. If it works, and she doesn't fill that thing up, you'll
be able to make a lot of money with that recording. Hell, I'll even pay decent bucks for it!

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.

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!

The one I just bought looks exactly like this one. Paid 5K for it.

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.



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!


May be rated for 5000# but I would be extremely leery. My S10 Blazer was
rated 5000# and 4000# was a struggle and broke a differential gear one
time.
