And Now...the Rest of the Story...
Apologies to Paul Harvey. We are small time farmers, retired military, who just bought a Coleman (Dutchman) CTS14FD TT so we can enjoy seeing the vast heartland.
We previously had a 22' C-Dory in Alaska and enjoyed traveling all over the coast of that great state and wanted a small camper similar in amenities to our beloved C-Dory. Are we the only ones who moved from the boating/cruising world to land camping? Our little camper has...a head, a furnace, an AC, a dinette that makes into a queen sized bed, a sink, 2 burner stove, microwave etc. and we feel like we have really scored. We are a bit older and passed the tent stage of life and we didnt want to pull a huge load behind us and find the smaller light weight TTs really work. The Tow vehicle is a 2500HD 4x4 so we know its overkill but its what we already had and the TT is all we need.
I have been checking out the forum and see very little about the common space and weight considerations between the cruising world (boats) and the RV world...our small RV seems like a large Yacht with tons of room to us and we will adopt many of the lessons we learned "cruising" to our new adventure. We look forward to "cruising the heartland".....
