: Well, I talked myself into buying a 30' toy
: hauler. It is a Springdale model 290CT, it
: has a full bedroom in the back with a queen
: sized bed, the center section has a 16'
: slide out that makes the trailer 12' wide
: when open, then the toy box in the front
: holds two bikes and it opens to the right
: side. The door is the ramp to the toy box.
: The toy box has a door that separates it
: from the rest of the trailer. When there are
: no toys in the trailer, it has a fold down
: queen sized bed. Two additional people can
: sleep in the slide out section, the sofa
: converts to a single bed, and the dining
: table lowers and that area can be converted
: to a bed. The trailer has a bath with sink
: and shower, and a full kitchenette. I
: thought it was nice for the $19K that it
: cost. Not particularly fond of the toy box
: in the front, but I can survive it.

: It is a bumper pull trailer so I can leave the
: back of my truck open for hauling bikes and
: such.

: I guess that you might say that I let my son
: talk me into it.

: It has gotten me to thinking though, I have
: planned at least a half dozen trips for it
: for the remainder of this year. Guess I am
: getting old, now wanting to camp in comfort.

Nice unit, Huey. I Googled it, what a great unit. You can live in that, no problem. The slide makes a huge difference. And so easy, all of a sudden you know you've got everything and it's where you expect to find it... And your bike stays nice and clean, and secure.

There's a learning curve, but everybody in every campground is happy to help out, always. You're not going to travel as fast on the Interstate, but who cares?

You are gonna have a ball.
