What kind of trailer do you have?
I am looking fior a teardrop I may buy this year or next

and try this group - rec.outdoors.rv-travel



I have about a 25 foot toy box type trailer ... suits me fine, I could hose
the whole thing out to clean it, if I wanted to. It's built for real,
dirty,
tough, use but it has 'everything' .. it's fairly heavy for it's size as
the toy box frames are built to support vehicles inside the rig. I like
the drop down door, and added shade cloth screening across it to make it
into a big window ( I get a kick out of it in campgrounds, I can see out,
they can't see in ... little kids ( some adults too ) will get curious and
come poking around and when they are close and really looking at the
tailgate I'll say something like "It's OK you can walk up it if you want"
MUCH to their surprise G) It's one of the few big items I've ever
bought on impulse ... I saw it displayed on a dealer's lot, first toy hauler
I'd ever seen, stopped
and looked, called my wife and asked
her to come look .... she went in saw the 'no need to baby me, I'm tough'
interior and said "it suits you perfectly, let's buy it "

We may 'upgrade' to a 5th wheel with pop outs IF my wife takes to the
lifestyle and wants to full time ( part time;-) in the summers with me ...
what we have is pushing the limits for two people, each with their own
hobbies that require space etc I'm not looking forward to all the very
uncamplike crap most rigs have in them ... crystal chandeliers, and such.
Artic Fox makes some very sturdy rigs .. rated for winter in Alaska and nice
but not with tacky, frilly, stuff, so that's what I'm looking at.

I have posted a couple questions at the rort group ... I've grown
accustomed to the BS on roff ... but all the political crap over there keeps
me away unless I have a REAL need for information
