Thanks again everybody. I appreciate all comments. A few points of clarification. We are no strangers to camping. We are proud parents to two Eagle Scouts and did plenty of camping while they were growing up and spent the night in tents, the bare ground and in cabins.
We understand the camping factor. The biggest hurdles we have to learn are learning to drive the unit, learning to back it up properly, how to manage the fresh water, grey water and black water. We will have a full size pickup truck (1500) and believe if we want a travel trailer, we need to test a travel trailer out versus a pop-up. We are actually not rushing into this as we will be testing these out before we ever buy. It will probably be about 18 months before we purchase one, so we have quite awhile to practice.
