Are Windjammer trailers an endangered species? - Page 2

Another trip out this weekend and no signs of another Windjammer. No other V-nose trailers either. Oh well, at least I'm not just another cookie-cutter camper!

I have only seen one other Windjammer this summer in over 3500 miles of driving this summer. I guess, Old car we are going to have to pick a state park and camp at the same weekend so that we can say that we have seen another Windjammer.

Sounds good Mike. We are thinking about a return trip to Wallace State Park in two weeks. We are already headed to Pomme de Terre next weekend. Sounds like you have had a busy summer on the road. Did your TT make all those miles also?

Just got back from Estes Park, CO today after a weekend getaway. No Windjammers/VLites at any of the campgrounds I visited. One XLR, but that was it for v-nosed campers.

I just checked Wallace and it looks like it might be almost full. I doubt if we could go the second weekend in Oct because it is our granddaughter's birthday then. I've noticed all the state parks are getting full on the weekends. I think everybody is trying to go camping before the weather turns bad. I'm going back to Arrow Rock the 4th weekend in Oct. and maybe to Table Rock sometime during Nov. We want to go to the Christmas festival at Silver Dollar City.

The tt has been all but about 900 miles while we stayed in Moonshine Creek Campground just west of Waynesville, NC in June. I already want to go back to that area. Just have to find a better location for camping. To much driving up the Blue Ridge Parkway and thru Smokey Mountain National Park. Very scenic area to visit and lots of it view. Love the area, just not fun driving a big beast of a Excursion around all the mountain roads.

We've been camping with our 3002W quite a bit this summer in both Carolinas and Georgia. Have yet to see another Windjammer. Sometimes we will see another V-nose trailer but not Windjammers.

We do, however, have had many people ask us about the trailer. It gets lots of attention and comments.

I can't say enough though about how much we love this model. We went to countless RV shows and dealerships for 4 years looking for just the right trailer. It was love at first sight and the honeymoon hasn't stopped yet.

Came close to buying twice this year. Love them, just need to wait for the right time to buy. I hope to be part of your group soon!

"We do, however, have had many people ask us about the trailer. It gets lots of attention and comments."

We've been getting this as well, from a few tours to lots of comments and questions on how it tows.

About a 5 hour round trip and weekend at Pomme de Terre. Not many people camping and didn't see a v-nose of any type.

we picked up our 2102w last friday. so if you are in minnesota there is at least one windjammer. We do alot of camping out west. Will our e150 have alot of trouble? the 87mile trip home from the dealer was not bad. Hope to get out this weekend and try everything out.

Old car · 10-04-2011, 07:08 PM

You have one of the smaller Windjammer's so that will make things better as far as pulling. I don't know much about the E150 so make sure you check all the critical weight stats. Congrats on the new TT! We love ours; hope you enjoy yours as much.

We are at a campground in Spragge Ont. and there is a Windjammer on a seasonal site. Talked to the owner and they just love the layout. They have the rear kitchen with the main bathroom in the nose and a second 1/2 bath between the bedroom and living area.

Timex · 10-09-2011, 07:24 PM

Going to the Georgia mts in a couple weeks with my 30WRLTS Vlite. If you want to see me, I'll be there for 5 nights. 1 show each day!

mike1m · 10-09-2011, 08:36 PM

We picked up our 3002W a 3 weeks back. We saw several hundered at several RV shows and liked the 3002W. This summer while camping in Eureka Springs Arkansas we ran into a another camper with one. Spent some time talking to him and his wife and that sealed the deal.

This will make 3 weekends in a row camping in it in Texas.

Rebel702 · 10-15-2011, 12:17 AM

We have our 3002W ordered. Should be Nov 18 for delivery. Great to see current owners are so happy with their decision. The floorplan met our needs for gkid room and a nice setup for extended time out on the road.

We are at Arrow Rock SHS campground and so far no Windjammers are here other than ours

I like in Columbus, OH and just had a V-Lite pass me on the freeway. Another V nose just not a windjammer

Old car · 10-23-2011, 01:34 PM

Just completed the last trip of the season. No Windjammers (or other V-nosers) on this trip either. 10 trips for the year and only one V-nose fifth wheeler was spotted during our trips.

Old car · 10-24-2011, 05:29 PM

Wouldn't you know it! I started this thread because I never saw another Windjammer while camping this season or even on the road while traveling back and forth to campgrounds. Posted yesterday that our season is officially over for 2011 and only saw one v-nose all summer. Driving home from work tonight, around 5PM just north of Peculiar, MO on US-71N, low and behold--a Windjammer! Caught me off guard I couldn't tell what model it was. Oh well, they really are out there!

mike2tall · 10-24-2011, 07:03 PM

Friday night a V-Cross Super Lite showed up at Arrow Rock and stayed through Sunday morning. I have seen one other V-Cross at Watkins Mill and one going north on I29 this summer, but never did see another WindJammer.

Old Car, that's the way it goes, when you least expect something it just pops out of nowhere.
