Actually I didn't last long at all just pulling a RESS8528 model fifth wheel.. Too much ware and tare on me and too many dollars to get it down the road. Then too much dollars for the rest of it haha...
We pull our OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer anywhere we want now and my truck gas mileage is almost the same whether it is pull my popup or not...
When I go from here to Gatlinburg TN SMOKY MTNS on one tank of truck gas it gets my attention haha... I pull right behind the big trailers at the next stop sign down the road...
We have all the comforts we want just less move around room inside. This is great for for as it makes us enjoy the outside more in the things we like to do... Maintenance wise I have only replaced two tires since 2008...
We have camped all over the East coast and south to the gulf and then as far West as West TEXAS and OKLA...
Wouldn't have it any other way haha... Its all about choices I reckon...
This is what we live for when camping...

Have no desires whatsoever to blend in with one of these RV Travelers Camp Sites...

Or even these nicer RESORTS with a few trees added and maybe a swimming pool...

They all remind me of my truck stop days of the past...

Color me an RV CAMPER haha
