Finally sold our Travel Trailer.

After a pretty long dry spell of non use of the camper, we decided that due to health problems and other issues that we should discontinue our escapade with camping in trialers. We have been enjoying camping for many years starting with tents, to an old Apache Pop Up, to a small travel trailer, to a large travel trailer, to a large 5th wheel, to a Class A motorhome, then back to a travel trailer, but as my health has declined over the last few years, it just got to be a little much to handle. Enjoyed them all for nearly 40 years and had very few problems with any of them. DW says that might be a smaller TT in the future, one that she sould handle pretty much herself so we could still visit local area state parts, private campgrounds, etc., but we shall see. Docs don't really forsee much more in the way of that sort of activity for me. If by some miracle, I am able to recover more thant current predictions, we might try another go with a smaller camper if we find one in great shape that does not require a lot of hands-on maintenance. Still holding onto the Ram 3500 dually as a tow vehicle and daily driver, so we shall see. Stanger things have happened. Luck to all you campers and try to remember you are doing it for enjoyment, not as an aggravation. Later...robsouth
  • I hope you recover. I knew a couple that owned a small Class C. They sold their car and used the C as a daily driver.
    It worked well for them.

    There are options. Work at getting better, we'll be pulling for you.
    And, check in on the forum. You can still share your knowledge and experience.
  • Im sorry to hear you had to sell. We bought a smaller trailer so one of us could set it up and take it down if neccessary. I hope your health improves for another opportunity. Good luck and we will try to remember the joy over the torment!
