New tow vehicle, new camper, new user
Hi, all.
My family and I have been popup camping for about 3 years, starting with a super cheap 1992 Coleman Arcadia, and then upgrading to a newer (and more expensive) 2006 Fleetwood Graphite just a month later when we realized how much we would love it. We recently sold the Fleetwood and purchased our third trailer, a 2016 Keystone Summerland Mini 1800BH.
A few months ago, our tow vehicle was a 2008 Honda Odyssey EX, with about 175k miles on it. We upgraded to a 2009 Chevy Suburban (white, tan interior, 5.3L, HD towing pkg, 4x4, rear entertainment, Z71), which allowed us to start looking for a heavier trailer.
We attended an RV show last fall, and that showed us that our goal was a small bunkhouse. Small because we prefer living (cooking, eating) outside, and only changing and sleeping inside. Bunkhouse because we have 3 children. Apex Nano 193BHS and Micro Minnie Winnie 2100BH were favorites, but weren't things we could afford.
We finally found a deal on the 1800BH, and it suits us very well. We've already been camping in it once, and look forward to many years of enjoyment in this new-to-us camper.
I also hope to be able to contribute to the forums here.
Happy camping!
