We've been getting curious about other campers, and ran across a rental Tiger Bengal TX from https://goexploreit.com/  Yes we still love the 4WC Eagle and don't have any plans to get rid of it.  But it's fun to dream!

 

We booked a four day weekend and had our fingers crossed for good fall color.  Some places had it, and others it was a bit too late.  It was a great four days that came and went all too fast.

 

This will be a multi post report, the first installment is up and covers our day(s) in/around Rocky Mountain National Park.  Part two will cover the rest of the trip, and I also plan to put together a part 3 with a few takeaways from our four days trying out the Tiger.  I'll update this post as I get the other parts finished in the coming days.

 

Part 1 is here:  https://www.occident...ng-2021-part-1/

Part 2 is here: https://www.occident...ng-2021-part-2/

Hope to hear more of your impression of the Tiger along the way.

Thanks everyone for giving the first post a look and for your comments.  The second installment is now live:  https://www.occident...ng-2021-part-2/

 

Part 2 concludes the actual trip, but I'll be doing a part three with a walk around video and extensive pictures of the Tiger.  Since it's coming up to the weekend we'll be headed out for a quick adventure (I don't think we've been home for a weekend since about March) so I'll get to that early next week!
