Hi from North Central Indiana

Hello Everyone,
My name is Aaron and thanks for letting me join your forum.My family and I are looking into purchasing a new T.T. in the nxt month or so.
I used to own a Jayco Designer series 5th wheel with a super slide out 15yrs ago.Sold it when our kids were first born.
Now we are back into going to Antique tractor shows,and we need better sleeping arrangements. We currently have an 8' truck camper we put on our gooseneck flatbed then load the tractor and golf cart on behind it.
My son and dog sleep in the van and my daughter sleeps on the table bed.We had bad storms last year and it was miserable trying to find a dry place to sit and get comfortable. Especially with two teenagers.
So we have pretty much narrowed our choice down to the Salem unit with dual slides and the outdoor kitchen.We like the second door into the bathroom.That way if we are dirty and stuff we don't track it into the rest of the camper when we need a potty break.
Thanks again

Welcome from Wisconsin. The second door bath is a great idea.

Well my Farmall M won't fit inside one. The golf cart and hit and miss engine would though. I wanted a TH but the wife didn't like the layout of them and wanted the kids to have Thier own bedroom area.

Welcome from southern indiana, not too far from louisville Ky

We have a toy hauler, bring our golf cart with us camping. We have two teens and a nine year old. The toy hauler is great for the separate sleeping in the garage area and loft areas. They get their own little spaces.

Love the hit and miss engine, would like to find one for myself some day!

Thanks for the welcome.
Yeah I like the idea of a toy hauler to put the golf cart and maybe the Hit&miss engine in. Problem is the wife isn't sold on them. She wants the kids to have a more bedroom like setting. We've looked at alot of them and just can't agree on them. We both liked the Salem TT though. Going to wait for the boat sport and travel show in Indy and see what we can find.
