OK, today we bought a new (to us) truck camper. This stopped the debate of a C, an A, a 5er or a TC. Heck we even considered getting a TT. We like to take the motorcycle with us, and have an enclosed trailer for hauling it. The 5er would have been a toy hauler, but just didn't want to lay out that much cash for something we would have not a lot of time to use.
The TT would have let me carry the bike in the back of the truck, needing a ramp. Just not a lot all that appealing.
An A or C we would have pulled the trailer. With either of these, probably would have traded the truck in, bought a small car or truck or SUV. Something that could still pull the trailer with bike.
So, with all those options and precious little being traded in that excited us, we jst went into wait mode. This past weekend a gorgeous 2001 Alpenlite Cheyenne 900 with a slide got traded in. Called Jolene and told her to come out and look. This has it all! Sat dish, 2 solar arrays and controller. 2500 watt LP genset (Onan), Heart inverter, electric jacks with wireless remote. (sounds silly, but last one had wired remote and it was a pain) Best, and the reason we bought it, a dry bath! Actual sep shower!
So, we are back in the game! Good thing I didn't sell my tiedown equipment!
