We have camped for 20 yrs. Tent, Popup, Hybrid, 29' TT, then a 39' permanent (for 2 summers in a cg). We bought the 29' with the intention of traveling the country.

He is real handy, but can do many things. We are now on a fixed income (he on SS, me almost there and living off investments) He just is afraid to get into something that could break down and need a lot of repairs or take money out of interest earning investments to buy a depreciating asset. We both LOVE being outdoors and hiking and beautiful scenery etc. He is just cautious and I am bit on the impulsive side.
