Do you ever miss your old Travel Trailer?
Greetings:
After a series of failures with my coach's equipment (slideout, genny, AC, HWH jack, to mention a few) I found myself missing my first Travel Trailer with no slide, no levelers, no power steps, etc., etc!
So, do you ever miss the simpler RVing life?
Regards,
Dave

I kinda miss my old faithful trailer. No issues with it at all. Easy to tow, easy to heat. Easy to find a place to camp. I miss State Parks.

Dont miss the tiny fridge, cranking the tongue jack up and down, half hour to level it with blocks, small holding tanks ect ect ect. lol Something like a bad day fishing is better than a good day working.

That's the old conundrum - upgrade/refit what you have to make it more modern, or move up to something else. That's partly why I bought my Vantage - very simple, no slides, minimal equipment - not suitable for full-timing, but fun for weekend trips.

Do I miss our old (05') tt...Ya....as the new owner was pulling it out of the driveway last March I was videoing it on my phone...Spent 380 nights in it over the 7 seasons....  a lot of memories...The new (13') being only a foot longer still lets us get into just about all sites....We prefer state parks 95% of the time.

We went from a TT to a fifth wheel, and even though I loved our TT I don't miss the TT... we love our home!! Sometimes I miss our popup, though...

while the Cameo is nice for the room with the slides, I wonder if it worth the trouble. I do miss my 1989 Avion 34V. Best built trailer we have ever had.

Went from a tent to simple but fairly nice MH. So far the 2005 MH has been pretty trouble free. Can't miss the travel trailer. Never had one.
