In August 2016 another tow vehicle fell in to my lap when my neighbor's house buyer decided he wasn't going to buy the plow truck along with the house, so I bought the truck. For cheap.
Another truck meant "I need another RV to go with said truck" LOL!!!
I decided to get something small and light, and short, so I could go off the beaten path. I looked at all of the small lightweight trailers all over the area. I settled on a Viking 17BH since feature wise, it offered the most.
I took a few trips with it. It wasn't very well insulated and didn't have thermal pane windows. Thins wall meant it didn't block out outside noise very well. It was a summertime only RV since the tanks were not enclosed in the underbelly. Aside from those items, I liked it.
In mid 2017 I decided the money I was using to make payments on it would be put to better use on a daily driver vehicle more suitable than the 1991 Chevy K2500 gas hog that I bought from my neighbor (described above). The truck cost me a small fortune on several repairs, and the gas bill was ruining my freedom due to the cost of driving it. I sold the 17BH in August and the truck was sent packing in November just prior to snow plow season. It had a plow on it, and I made a small fortune selling it, recouping a good portion of the repairs I put in to it.
Yep, I eventually buy a new daily driver, a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. I picked it up in September 2017. I still have it.
