Hey all,
Unfortunately we have moved away from deep back country camping. Mainly due to the project I'm managing here at LAX. Were are left with 2 or 3 day excursions every 2 or 3 months.
About 6 months ago we bought a brand new 14ft Jayco Baja trailer to see if we'd like the "RV" experience. As much as this pains me to say we kinda liked it. We found that setting up the trailer and leaving it to go explore was super convenient and midnight old man bathroom runs were awesome when you only have to travel a few feet.
That being said this trailer is everything we need and want except we found on a recent outing that it will not sleep 4 comfortably. And we knew that this was an inexpensive way to make sure we liked the RV style of travel. So we have decided to get one of 2 trailers. The first being the Airstream Sport 22FB and the second being the Livin Lite\CampLite 16FBS.
The reason behind the Airstream is that we just plain and simple love the look, the nostalgia, the build quality, etc. BUT the price tag is up there, even for used units. By the By this is the Wife's first choice (I think you'all know where this is going).
The CampLite is a nice little trailer, 100% built of Aluminum and they have an Off road Package (fire roads only). But the interior is very spartan and industrial. Both units have the exact same amenity and features (ala black tank flush, large tanks, stand alone toilet and shower,), but a 10K price difference. The Airstream being around $45K and the the Camp Lite being around $30K.
As I said above the boss love the Airstream and only likes the Camp Lite but the cost is a huge factor, but so is resale. I do not tend to keep things very long except my dogs, my guns and my wife......lol......yes in that order.
Any thoughts folks?
