Downsized both Tow & RV

Just wanted to make it known that I've downsized quite dramatically. I went from a Chevy Duramax 05 2500 to a 2014 Chevy Traverse (Crossover) & a Sunnybrook Bristol Bay 08 (36') to a Premier Bullet by Keystone. (21'). Weight dropped by 2/3. 12,000lbs. to a little over 4000lbs. The only experience I've had towing with this new setup was last Friday, towing from Camping World to my home. About 50 miles. What a smooth trip! So much easier to park in my terrible driveway that is on a State Highway!

We decided to almost give it all up. Cost and upkeep of the truck was way out of control. Then the DW came up with a plan. We're no longer dreaming of fulltiming it or taking that 10,000 mile trek to see the country. When I guestimate it the rate per mile with diesel is $1.50 give or take. I can do better than burn over $10k on fuel. So we will become simple RVers again.

This unit is most similar to our 1st RV. It was a Fleetwood Pioneer 19T4 02. We are now on #5.

Any comments or questions welcome except downright rude criticism. Save that for the evening news please.

You've done the exact opposite of what the majority on RV.net promise will always happen...'you'll go bigger.'

I've been happy with 21 feet for nearly 7 years now, and I'm pretty sure there is no 5th wheel in our future!

Enjoy the new combo!
