Re: TT to HTT
Thanks soon2bexpat - I feel like I'd enjoy the open feeling of the tent ends. And right valhalla, I was pulling close to 9K with the truck so it's not that. Really the space thing is the biggest issue. If I keep it at home I need something short. My driveway ends in an alley with a brick wall opposite my house and I've got a gate besides. A HTT will give me considerably more space inside while keeping it short enough to maneuver into my driveway. Going from a 33' with two slide outs, I'm not sure we're ready for a 20-ish foot TT...585Views0likes0CommentsTT to HTT
Hey everyone! I'm curious if anyone has ever gone from a TT to a HTT and want to know your thoughts. Here's my short-version scenario: After spending lots of years in a large TT with our three kids, we sold it a while back because our kids were at an age where we just didn't have time to use it. Now our two oldest are in college and our youngest, a middle schooler, wants really badly to go camping. And DW and I miss it terribly. The long term plan has always been to get back into it when our youngest goes off to college, with a rig built for two. But that's not for another 6 years. And we're not in the position to spend lots of money on a new rig/storage/insurance, etc. My suggestion was a used pop up (I grew up in one) but DW says it has to have a potty and place to change clothes. So I started looking at used HTT's that wouldn't break the bank and that I could park in my driveway. Then I read on here about people who made the switch to TT's and the things they wouldn't miss about their HTT (noise, leaks, maintenance, etc) so it got me thinking there must be people with experience in this area. Anyone want to share their stories of HTT's or maybe even differences of opinions on them vs. TT's? Not sure if I'm just dreaming at this point, but I've got a serious itch to get back outside among the trees, campfires, and the good people who love nature like I do. Thanks for all your comments!!5.6KViews0likes16CommentsRe: T Mobil phone service
Got T-Mobile last year just before a trip from Dallas to Rapid City because we needed some new phones and they had a great deal. Our route took us to Raton, NM, then up to northern Colorado (Poudre River area), then through Wyoming to Rapid. After visiting family there, we went to Minnesota and then back home through Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas. By far the worst coverage was in Colorado/Wyoming. Seemed non existent for hours at a time. My boys struggled because it would jump from third party to third party; many times not having any data - just calling ability. Check out the coverage maps on their website and zoom in on areas you travel to see if service is there - their maps really are pretty accurate, so you're able to compare companies.424Views0likes0Comments
