Tow Foldable with Class B
Hi All,
I'm a new member and didn't see an introduction section. If one exists, my apologies for being rude and not using it.
My wife and I are starting to think about retirement (we're later 50's) and how we plan to spend those years. Some years ago we had a 24 ft. Sunnybrook 5th wheel and Ford Powerstroke tow vehicle. We sold out and bought motorcycles which we toured on for the next 6 years. Having sold the last of the bikes this year, we think we're going to get back into camping and finish exploring this great country of ours.
I've read a lot of threads here researching motor homes. We think we want to do extended (as in - all winter, we live in WI) road trip camping vs. planting in one place. I've read threads where people prefer class B or small class C rigs for this and it makes sense to me. I can get into small parks, etc.
The problem for me is that I really don't think I want to pull a car nor do I like the idea of pulling up camp to make road trips when staying in an area for a few weeks or a month while exploring. Plus I think extended camping in a true class B would be somewhat cramped.
Today, something popped into my head and having not ran across it on the forum yet, I thought I'd ask the members if this is just silly or perhaps some of you do it.
I like folding popup campers, particularly Chalet brand. It occurred to me that rather than towing a car, I could tow one of those so while parked in a campground, we could stay in the popup giving us more room to live while leaving the 'B' available for every day use. When on the road, we just stay in the rig without having to set the popup.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
