Has anyone over-bought for their needs and realized they really do want to just downsize a bit and make a trade for smaller?I have the best of what we wanted. 40 toyhauler, a big boy for sure. love it but we are thinking we might just not need it. camping is limited with kiddo in school (8 years left of that). hubby works thru alot of weekends.It is loaded with everything we will ever need and we love it, hard to trade for smaller :) but is it worth doing?we are thinking, hmm...back to something smaller cause we just don't use this to its potential at all.Please share your story if you decided to downsize and was it a good decision for you. Thanks for sharing.

If it's everything you wanted, keep it.

You'll lose a lot of money downsizing. If it meets your needs, then keep it. If there were other reasons it does not meet your needs, then consider downsizing.

I know Mfan. I said that to my hubby also. If it is everything we wanted and now got it, why ditch it? but it just sits there mostly and it breaks my heart our time is limited on using it. I guess that is what got us thinking of downsizing.ah, the options are weighing heavy on our minds.

APT--thanks. you guys are the voice of reason here.we were saying the same thing. no other reason to trade it other than it just sits there and drives us crazy we can't use it more. our minds are just flip flopping around on this decision.kind of saying---this big beautiful great toyhauler not being used drives us mad----if we downsize we don't care if it just sits next to the house :) probably NOT a good way to think of this :)

if we downsize we don't care if it just sits next to the houseBut will you truly not care? Wasted potential is wasted potential. A small trailer will rot as quickly as a large trailer. If you see a financial burden by keeping it, then get rid of it. If not, keep it. But, having been there, my vote is to get something smaller since having the big boy seems to be adding stress to your lives.
