My friend is on the west slope, south of Durango. If I can get there, they can help me get it set up with what is necessary to get through the winter.
I plan on buying (tomorrow) a Suburban 2500 (10K capacity) and hopefully I can get a F lite 25' that I have my eye on. there's also a 24' Jayco and a Rockwood Roo, but the Roo weighs 6800dry and there is no storage, not to mention that the hybrid thing to me seems stupid in the CO winter.. THAT kills me because it's the newest, best maintained and the guy REALLY needs to move it.
Gutting whatever I get for the most part to lessen the weight and have room for my stuff. It has a bump out where the table is, so boxes go there. I WAS hoping to find a trailer with a bedroom in the front so I could put all the weight in front of the wheels, sleep on the couch thing.. but I don't have the funds or the time to tire kick.
Will have the bearings repacked, brakes/tires checked on anything (I remember that from my horse trailer days)
Just stressed and needed some advice is all.
It can take me a week to get there for all I care honestly... but I will not impose my unwashed body on my poor dog.
