We thought about that type and up till a few years ago you could buy a
new one for less than $20K.
Since our climate is mostly cool and damp, I thought a normal small
enclosed model would be best but then again, the wife probably
wouldn't be interested in camping before the middle of June or after
mid October. Maybe I'll rethink hy-brids.

Can you rent them? Might be a better deal for light use and no need to
store, register, or insure it. 3500 lbs is light for a wet trailer.

Not sure about small travel trailers. They do have those smaller truck
based RV's but they seemed expensive. Plus it's hard to plan ahead when
our climate can be quite damp. I like the option of deciding the night
before...that's how we boat.

A camper is likely going to be wider than your boat.Have you learned to
back up straight without hitting your neighbor's house?
Do you expect to be dry camping out in the woods? Decent campgrounds
are hard to come by in the Northeast. You need to make reservations
weeks or even months in advance. Or you can settle for having trailer
trash boys for your neighbors.
And then there's your best buddie Fat Harrie. You have to consider
that he would never give you his blessing.


If Don wanted to park an RV next to trailer trash, he could reserve a spot
in your driveway or Herring’s driveway. Of course, he’d want to be
armed...heavily armed.

I don't think Donnie shares your paranoia. Besides, he's afraid of guns.


Only when they are in the hands of southern crackers who can't control themselves.

Well you're sorta right. Guns by themselves are harmless. Bu in the
hands of mentally deranged folks and careless idiots, they can deal a
deadly blow.
