KristinU: You are completely corrrect regarding vocal inflection. It is a major problem of the internet leading to many misunderstandings.
I may be "fanatical" about trailers, and our Outback has served us well, but the brand makes no difference to me. A trailer is best for us for lots of reasons, and if something else is better for you, that is great.
In this world there are a great variety of rigs and their configurations, and that is good.
Bottom line is we are all interested in camping/RVing.
Happy camping to you.
And the OP's new rig still looks good. :)
