As far as rallies and RV shows......closest RV show I'm aware of will be in Herkimer or Rockland county in another month or so. A Jersey friend attends regularly so I'll ask her for the exact date and locale if you want. Closest rallies are prolly in LI. I don't currently have wheels past ZipCar so don't bother attending and do my research via the 'net.

I did some checking for rallies. The next one in the Tristate is in Atlantic City for Halloween weekend. Next one is in Allentown, PA around Jan 10/15, and Rockland SUNY for Valentine's Weekend in 2015.

Mystic CT has one in May 13-16, 2015 for A-Liner, which I would like to check out to talk to those owners.

Where do you store your TT?

I don't own my TT yet. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I have been a tent camper across the decades and therefore know quite a few metro area RV owners and NE SPs.

Like yourself I'm a longterm planner looking at all the possibilities, LOL. I'll be storing indoors in either Westchester county or at a storage place off the NJT line.


I considered the Aliner at one point but decided the layout didn't seem to work well for the 2 of us. The Roadtrek is a total beauty but the price and normal rate of depreciation gives me pause. As well the heat pump/AC unit as opposed to a furnace and A/C seem disadvantageous for cold weather camping.

I worried about finding a knowledgeable mechanic for the Scamp and Casita lines on the East coast. Don't anticipate any problems yet looking ahead is just who I am.

All my personal wants and needs have left me with 3 lines to date: R-Pod, T@B and Safari Condo. Each of their TTs will fit well in this urban environment with no need for a pickup truck which doesn't. Should I "lose it" and decide to opt for a Class B ... at least 2 of the companies offer vans worthy of drool, LOL.

I do not plan to keep any RV longer than 2 years so that is very much a part of my deliberations.
