What I don't know is what brand TT did I just describe?! Closest fit?
Like Grey Wolf 26 DBH, told not 4 season?
& some salesmen cleverly omit, others r inventively creative. & ALL c me comin!
  • So, just to be clear. You plan on fulltiming in this TT after you're laid off? Since you're cashing in your retirement plan and out of a job, you'll have no source of income?

    Perfect for me and my little brown doggie. :)

    Thanks!

    Now I'm really going crazy... Did my other post get deleted?
  • For a full time 4 season model TT, I'd look at Northwood and Bigfoot. You can find BH models and a residential queen size bed in the 29-30' Northwood, but doubtful in the Bigfoot, as they are shorter. However, you do realize storage space is going to be limited in a TT and that your vehicle is going to have to take up some slack... right? I know people who say it can't be done are constantly being interrupted by people who are doing it. But, you just need to be aware. Best of luck.
  • Thank you 3 dog nights. Almost 52 so they are gonna do you know what, to me. Badly.
    If they had even waited till Nov 2016, I could've drawn early partial annuity, for life. But nooooooo. 25 years in public service, down the drain.
    I scored higher, have more seniority & more experience. But then again, I'm older than the others there and they were all born 10+ later than me. :D

    Thank you 2lazy4u. I heard about Arctic Fox (although I haven't seen one in real life) but not Nash. I will definitely check that out! :*

    Thank you Rockportrocket. Don't I wish?
    Teacher Retirement of Texas has their regs and the DISD does whatever they wish and attorneys here won't take them on because there doesn't ever seem to be any "win" except for the district. Unfortunately.
    Well unless, you're a minority or someone who could otherwise make headlines. I was the last non-minority in my position for many years now, at my job location. (Which would make me the minority right? But no.) Funny, that... ;)

    Thank you Wishbone51.My apologies for the extended text shorthand to the original postIng. It was excessive to say the say the least.
    I think the higher your IQ is, the more difficult it is to read. But the easier it is to write!! B)

    Thanks all-Whatever I get, I'm posting a pic here as soon as I get it! I HATE the waiting!! :\
  • Check out the Nash or Arctic Fox trailers. Nice, and 4 season. Some are in that price range new, but you can do OK buying used. Made by Northwoods, I think, in E. OR.
  • Oh, and a decent warranty!
    B-)
    Oh yeah I accounted for the 30% theft b4 coming up with the $15-20 net.
    You got the Flubberment right! Lol!
    :-D
    But like I told my Dad; two-thirds of something is a lot better than 100% of nothin'.
    ;-)

    I'll let others advise you on a TT, but I hope you are 59 1/2 or better, if you are cashing out. Otherwise the flubbermint will take about $6-8k out of your nestegg.
