Ivy, We are in our late 70's and we live in an area of Los Angeles where it is hilly and the streets leading to our home are narrow and have some very sharp curves. Coupled with parking on one side of the street it makes it very difficult to maneuver up and down the hill to load and unload. That and the wider houses, our bounder was 96", is making it difficult for those tasks. That is our primary reason for going smaller.
It seems that lately there has been a rash of big ticket items that have gone south and I'm really finding it hard to repair stuff. I know, I know, new means fixing and fixing the little stuff but I hope not so much the big stuff.
We did take a few days off from pretty much even thinking about a new rig and went to a big quilt show in the Bay area, that break in pondering what to do has softened the desire to do anything.
My Granddaughter has been looking at Teardrops for years and she took a couple of semesters of woodshop to alleviate the stress of the heavy stuff she has been taking in preparation for college. I suggested if she and her boyfriend/fiance want, I've got access to an old Starcraft trailer that we could use for a chassis for a teardrop. Maybe that will slow me down on buying a new rig.
Thanks for the comments, we do love the space and convenience of the Winnie.
Dave
