We just bought our first US Travel Trailer. We have traveled throughout Europe with our little Caravan as we call them in the UK, very small and basic but lots of fun. We moved to Florida from England 4 years ago and have always wanted to get back into camping. Although camping here so much better with your hotels on wheels and unbelievable campground choices in stunning locations. We have taken it out for a shake down weekend at Lake Louisa Nat Park Clermont FL which was perfect. Our first real trip will be thanksgiving in the Florida Keys. We have our lot booked for Halloween 2016 at Fort Wilderness and we are planning our 6 week first part of our US tour for summer 2016. Exciting times to come.

TT. 2016 Freedom Express 320BDHS Liberty Edition

We have a 2014 Viking 16FB we purchased new in October of 2013. We love it and camped one weekend each month in 2014. The only thing we would change is to have a "walk around" bed.

I haven't used them, near as i can tell they are for hooking the camper up after dark. The switch is in the front cargo box.

2015 246RKS. Love it. Bought July and put over 30 nights in it. My wife, myself and our dog. Grand Cherokee with the 6 gas and tow package has no issue pulling it. TT is 4800 dry, suv is rated at 6200. Loaded I'm guessing I'm 800-900 on the good side.

I do use the equalizer WD hitch.

Chaparral 390QSMB- 4 days at this point.

Sat in it in the driveway 2 nights with the furnace and fireplace running watching tv while we showed it to friends. Now it is off to the storage lot until the weather gets a little better. Currently 16 degrees outside StL.

Very nice.

Are you taking kids or are you going to use the second room for something else?

Had it for about a month now. 2015 Coachmen Freedom Express 320BHDSLE. Hopefully it will serve us as good as our Skyline did.

We have an Apex 18bh. Gets us in anywhere. We've had this one 2yrs. Former boaters, we thought we'd try land camping, had a 15 footer first. We bring bikes, kayaks and an ice maker with us, it's been fun. It's hard building a campfire on the water!
