x2!

I think we would care.....but certainly understand. Possibly starting a family? That is a huge step. Good for you two and best of luck!

Thanks Ski!

If we want to stay in an area for an extended period to explore the sights, etc., the trailer is the choice. If we want to boondock for a few days or travel fast to something, the ATC is the choice.

Yeah I agree. One of the reasons I bought the FWC was that I thought if I'm going down to run the Tuolumne or Merced for a weekend I wouldn't drag a travel trailer for just one night or two on the bookends of the trip but I would put the FWC on but that is not turning out to be the case because of the PITA of getting it on and off.

Not saying anything that hasn't been before...but my 2¢ anyway

The reason I sometimes wish I had a trailer:
The ability to drive off from camp without having to pack up.

Yup that is my issue. Last time we were out I wanted to go grab a six pack from the store but it meant completely striking camp. The motorcycle is an interesting idea but I want to make my system simpler right now not more complex :-)

So.. why not mount it to the trailer you currently have? or hit craigslist and find a truck bed trailer ( most r very cheap) and mount it that? that way you could tow your camper, set it up, unhook the trailer and still have your vehicle to drive? Just a thought..

Yeah I thought about that too but I figure if I'm going to tow something I might as well get more room for my towing.

Get the trailer. Who knows what will be out there when the kids are grown as far as campers?

I was guessing the same when I made my suggestion, but I figured that by securing the camper to the existing trailer that you could at least see if a trailer will work for where & how you want to go camping without much investment. And perhaps it will give some insight into desired and undesired trailer features.

Can you do both? My wife is estremely claustrophobic and does not like the pop up.. We bought a Springdale Rugged Terrain so she can enjoy it and we still don't have to camp in trailer parks.

If we want to take the boat, I simply double tow!!

I don't think I've ever seen this kind of thing on the road...
Is this legal in many states or is it just an Idaho thing?
