Renie, Renie, Renie.....Listen to me....any time a husband wants to add on
to the endurance paraphanalia (sp?) we go for it! Doesn't matter if you
actually NEED whatever it is, just go buy it!
On the LQ vs. Camper thread....I love my camper! I can take it on and
off by myself although I prefer some help for the putting it on part (I have
visions of toppling the thing over). Its a 9'6 Lance camper that I found
online for $4500. It had never been used and was in mint condition.
It sits on my Chevy 3/4 ton truck with an extended (Titan Class V hitch) pulling
a Circle J slant load trailer with dressing room. Tows like a dream and
the aero-dynamic "nose" of the trailer means that I can do some really sharp
turns without denting it (which was not true with my old Logan trailer). I
have a nice bathroom/shower set up and a really wonderful heater (can use it to
blow dry my hair too at cold rides). I have not had a problem of too
little fresh water or too much waste water even on week long camping
trips. This might change now that my husband is going with me (yay!), but
he likes the outdoor shower the best anyway so at least the gray water won't be
a problem (scandalized neighbors might be another issue though <g>).
Anyway for an economical way to go if you already have a 2 horse trailer
and a truck, the camper seems pretty reasonable and very comfortable (especially
if you previously slept in your Suburban while camping for 10 years
:)
