| Why a Teardrop?
|
The Problem:
A family of four - 2 adults, one 11 year old, and a 3 year old.
2 cars - Dodge intrepid and a GMC stepside standard cab truck.
And around a $4000 budget.
The Debate:
- Do I buy a 21' camper and tow it with my truck? No, I can't haul 4 people in my truck.
- Do I buy a new extended cab truck? No, not in the budget.
- Do I buy a pop-up tent trailer and haul it with the Intrepid? I could but then you spend $4000 dollars for a big tent with press board cupboards.
- What else can I tow with the Intrepid?
A boler, Skamp, Aliner or any 13' trailer. But then for the $4000 I end up with a 20 year old trailer that I need to fix up.
The Answer:
You knew this was coming.......A Teardrop trailer!!!!!
My wife and I happened across a Travel channel show called RV Crazy! We were hooked, we both thought "How cool is that?". After we searched the net for a month or so, we decided that is was very achievable and we wanted to do it. My father thinks I'm crazy and I won't like that style of camping, but Lori and I are pretty set that this is what we would like to do.
We are currently developing ideas on what we would like. A 5' x 9' Benroy with a fold-out is the leading idea. The boys would tent camp, but I would like the option of bringing them in, in case of weather. Thus the fold-out.
More to come....
