We are considering a small Airstream, but wondering if there are other brands of decent quality. -- John *H* Check these: http://www.trailmanor.com/ One of my favorites: http://www.hilotrailer.com/ Thanks Loogy, but I can't get the wife interested in a 'pop top' no matter how fancy. She thinks Airstreams are the way to go, and I'm wanting to look at Coachmen (man?). -- John *H* Listen to the village idiot Hertvick!! He doesn't even realize that the "pop tops" I've mentioned are first class. Airstreams are heavy as hell. I've got a guy lives down the street that works for one of the largest RV places in the Atlanta area, but I'm sure Jim knows more than he does....... A popup. ROTF!!!!!!!! Yup, they come as 5th wheels, hard sided, extendable, etc. Saves lots in fuel while towing. The Chalet is a completely hardsided unit. And to make it on topic for boats, I have a slide in pop-up camper for the truck so I can tow the boat when we go to remote lakes camping. The www.palominorv.com Bronco B-800 was fine for a 7 week trip to Alaska 2 years ago. Got 15 mpg for the complete trip with a 2004 Diesel Chevy. Buddy with the same model truck and a 30' 5th wheel got about 11 mpg on the trip. Lots less air drag and not the top heavy unit like a Lance. My Son in law has a Four Wheel Camper popup on his Tundra. http://www.fourwheelcampers.com/ Only weighs about 800#. Aluminum frame. The Airstreams are overpriced. Paying for the name. Look at used travel trailers, there has to be a bunch repo-ed and people about to get repo-ed out there with the economy as it is. I agree that Airstreams are over priced, but try to find a bargain in used ones! Hell, the used ones sell for damn near the same price as the new ones, unless it's twenty years old. Off topic crap |
