Hooray! Another dreamer.
Welcome to the forum.
In our younger years with our boys we had a Camper and then a Motorhome. We abandoned that method of outings and did tents until they left home.
in the early 90's we decided to see if we wanted to do another camper so we found an OLD 6 pac 8' camper self contained bath n shower too. Only paid $500 for it. We did that for 2 years and decided we loved it. So we searched for another newer or used camper. I had dealt with roof leaks on every camper and that motorhome which was brand new. So when we saw the Northerlite and the Bigfoot we said that is what we want. NO leaks from seams.
We got our BFoof 20 years ago and it now has almost 200,000 miles on it and it has been on 2 great f250's. We have been across the country many times, across Canada and all the way to Prudhoe Bay and across the Yukon.
One thing that is important. You and your wife have to enjoy each others company and be patient when moving around in the camper..,hahaaa.
Good luck in your search!
