Believe me..... It's hard for me too. But we are planning on parking it in the driveway. That's camping, right??

That's a good looking setup. The outside of that looks, almost, exactly like my Brookstone (door/window placement, etc..). So far, I haven't found much info on Brookstones, here in the Coachmen section. I attempted to "winterize" mine over the last 2 days. I'm hoping that when I get a system down, it will be easier.

Here's my 2016 Chaparral 390QSMB
You can't see it under the awnings, but the windows in the hall and bedroom are shaped different compared to your Brookstone. Probably because the Brookstone is taller. The interior mid-bunk is layed out slightly different, too and you have a loft above the bunk, but the exteriors do look really similar.

Very Nice. It looks like you got a great spot, too. TBH, I was wanting to get a toy hauler, but I just didnt have enough truck....for the one I wanted  (it could also be argued, successfully, that I don't have enough truck for this 395RL, also). We decided to get this Brookstone, for now. It was between this Brookstone and a Columbus 377MB. I really liked the Columbus, but I couldn't justify $66k....as compared to $53K for the Brookstone.....with very similar amenities. I did a little research BEFORE the purchase.....and a lot AFTER  Depending on how this year-or-three goes with the Brookstone, I will definitely be looking at the Grand Design units in the future.

Here is my little 2016 Clipper 17RD on its maiden voyage to Taylor Park Colorado. Great little trailer with a big window on the back. This is my second Coachmen.

^^^ My sister and BIL bought a Clipper this summer. This is their first camper and they really enjoyed it. They don't have kids ( a grand daughter), and it works great for them.
I was very impressed what Coachmen has in them for a small camper.

We have had our 17FQ for over a year now and find it is just right for two people. Plenty of storage and especially like the queen bed with access to each side for those times one must get up in the middle of the night and not have to crawl over one another.

Viking model 21FQ
Hi,
We're looking at the Viking travel trailer 21 FQ as a possible new rig. Does anyone own one of the Vikings? We'd appreciate any insights, pro and con.
Thank you!
Diane and Michael

So far, we love it but I have already remodeled a bit. Hate the under-the-bed storage so replaced with a pair of large drawers on heavy runners. Works great and no lifting!
