If it was the dark side before, where am I now?

[heckufaguy]

Howdy everyone. I'm back. A few years back I restored a Westholt Cruiser 1965 pup. That's on the forum already.

Then 2 years ago we bought an Ameri-lite 19KD travel trailer. The dark side had it's hold on us!

This year, due to fantastic financing and urging of my DW (on behalf of our grandson). We upgraded to this.





We found the 19 footer, even with the slide, was difficult on day 4 or 5 of a trip, also while it stowed all our gear, trip necessities like groceries and such had few places to go.

Can't wait to get back out when the weather is warmer. We cut back on trips last year due to a job change and uncertainty on time off. But that's all good to go now!

Can't wait to get back to reading, this is the best camping forum around, bar none.

"Where am I now"

Hard saying. Likely camping in areas where there is flat ground, lots of people typically etc. etc. Ok for some, would limit us though...

^^^ That road is insane! Gorgeous....love where you're set up. I wish we could afford to see so much more of North America than our own little area.

OP: I want your couch! Nice rig, enjoy.

Nice rig, wouldn't want to have to pay for it! Beautiful scenery HiFi Dave, we don't have much like that in the Deep South.

Nice unit. How long is that unit? It looks longer than 19'.

Our first TT was billed as a 19 footer, this one is 26 feet. And that scenic road and beautiful camping spot aren't in my days right now. We've boondocked, even in the 19 footer. But we also realized that even when we pull in to a nice secluded state park site, plug in, run the air, and walk the dogs, we come home just as satisfied.

Not so bad really. I think show price on this was 14, 900. (or 15, 400). We took a beating trading in our 2 year old 19 footer, but when we got that one our credit was poor and our interest was high. The new one is at 3.5% which allowed us to keep it just 8 dollars a month higher than the smaller one due to the much lower interest rate.

Awesome man! I know y'all will enjoy your rig for years to come. This is actually my second pop up, my timeline went from tent to popup to Serro Scotty to 26 ft Jayco to 24 ft Jayco (which I lost in a divorce), but am now happily in the game again with a Dutchmen pop up. Hope to get another TT soon as I prefer the dark side. I really do like your rig! Now go make some memories!!

That 10 extra feet sure feel good right?

Very nice looking rig! Have fun!

And the double slide vs single. Our dinette is smaller in this one. We did like the old one, 4 beefy sized adults could play cards and not rub elbows. This one is smaller, but with the sofa, and folding chairs if need be, we can fit a lot more in on a rainy night. Oh, and our other had a full mattress, but was set side to side. So someone was always climbing over someone. The walk around queen bed in this one has us both excited!

Thanks for all the great comments everyone!
