Said Goodbye to the Roo

i hate to say it but we may be losing our Roo by the end of next year.
with me retiring next year and us moving to Washington State, we may need a bigger trailer without the canvas ends. the DW wants a walkaround bed.
but finding something with kitchen counterspace and recliners, that's towable by our Avalanche, has proven to be nearly impossible.

From now on, I guess Dan won't be calling TT ......shoebox!!

yea, we had originally planned on getting a 5th wheel for retirement and becoming "rainbirds" and being gone for 6 months. but we would have to get a 3/4 ton truck to be able to pull it.

but we've decided to hold off on that for a couple of years and see how retirement fits us.

we may keep the Roo for those two years, it's just that the DW wants a real walkaround bed. i still love the canvas and have no problems with the bunk ends.:R
just looking at what would make Momma happy and still be able to tow with the Avalanche.

Bikendan,

We had a 21SSO as well and changed to a hard sided trailer just about the time I retired. I loved the hybrid and will not speak ill of them. But, like all things, things change and so do our needs.

Welcome to Washington. It is a great state to go camping. It has an amazing diversity from rain forests to deserts, ocean beaches to sand dunes, farmlands to deep forests, rolling hills of wheat to mountains with lots of lakes. There are many campgrounds of the National, State and County variety as well as many places to camp free of charge. I just drove through Texas where 97% of the land is privately owned. Camping, hunting and fishing up here is a little more accessible to the common family.

thanx, aftermath!
though i'm a native Californian, the DW is from Washington and all her family lives there.
that's the main reason we're retiring there but the DW is all too familiar with Washington weather and she's been spoiled by living in California for 45 years.
she's spent plenty of time there but has gotten pretty used to lots of sunshine living here.
our property is in the rainshadow, so we don't get that much rain but we won't be getting the amount of sun we're used to.
i'll be able to put up with the clouds and rain better than she will!

Sounds like Sequim. A very nice place. Best Wishes.
