Hello,
In 2006 we bought out first RV, to try camping and to fulfill our plans of seeing the country on the road. As of 2016 we still love it. Its a 2007 FunFinder X 21 ft. No slide out. My husband did not want anything made with what he calls OSB. Wood chips or something glued together. We also wanted an "island" full size queen bed.
And we also wanted to start with something small that our 2003 Tundra could pull (we now tow with a 2010 Tundra). After hours and hours of research on my part I found the FunFinder. We went to Campers Inn in NH and saw one. It felt right for both of us as soon as we stepped inside. It is only the 2 of us so it works.I knew nothing about Rvs so its been quite a learning experience.
We have so many memories made with our Funfinder these past 9 years that we both find it hard to think about trading it in. We have had our share of issues over the years but from reading this forum none seemed like anything that others have not experienced with trailers in the same price category. We had water leakage in the front,replaced the air conditioner, the bench separated from the wall, the wall separated from the floor, a leak under the sink, and faded and peeling decals. Campers Inn has done most of the repairs except for the ones needed to be done on the road.
But on the other hand we have taken it from Massachusetts all over the NE states hundreds of times. We have traveled out west to the Rockies, Montana , Wyoming, the Dakotas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Texas and all the midwest states in-between 4 times and into Canada.We have gone to Florida many many times staying all along the eastern seaboard, New Jersey, Rhode Island Maryland, Delaware, both Carolinas, Virginia Beach,Georgia, Appalachian MT and into Canada. It has literally traveled thousands and thousands and thousands of miles. I am a retired teacher and my husband retired from the police force 15 years ago so before I retired (2014) we took off every summer, weekends and school vacation weeks. Last February we experimented with a month in Florida as snowbirds.
We talk a lot about upgrading now that I am retired. We are getting older and maybe we could use a little more room. And we have a 3 year old grandson that we would like to eventually take with us. But then we think that we spend most of our time sightseeing , doing outdoor activities and sitting at night by a campfire. We don't spend a lot of time inside the camper.We don't have a TV to watch.We do most of our cooking outside. But even though it is showing some wear and tear from all of our travels we still feel it was the right choice for us.
We have also toured the then Cruiser RV factory in Indiana and stopped in another time to get a replacement for the microwave plate that fell out of the microwave and broke. Cruiser RV shut down and Thor bought the line. I don't know anything about Thor.
Whatever you chose I hope you get as much enjoyment and have as much fun and have so many experiences as we have had. It has given us a chance to see this beautiful country we would never had had without our FunFinder.
