Started with a 40' diesel pusher.
"Downsized" to a 34' 5th wheel.
Both were too cumbersome for me to drive so hubby was always stuck doing it. Setup was a bear for the 5th wheel, and both prohibited us from camping at certain places due to size.
We now own a Coachmen freelander that is 24.5 feet long and can go anywhere. I can drive it and set it up with ease. We camp more now than we ever did before. We fit everywhere. I do miss the extra storage and space and it was hard to give up the outside kitchen on the 5th wheel, but when I watch my friends with the big toy hauler or the extra long travel trailer with 2 entry doors and 1.5 baths struggle to get backed into their site, it really takes the sting out of downsizing!
