dh and i have secured a summer camp on the pond and are looking for where we want to spend the winters. at this point i'll leave the horses here while we explore, but since we'll be buying a new camper i want to consider a horse trailer with lq for future living. we're selling the farm and everything which won't fit into a small storage unit--why i feel i must store my mom's lamps is besides me, but that's another story for later. dh also wants to bring his jeep--the extra long wrangler rubicon so for now the horse trailer section will be stripped of mangers and slants etc. when the time comes to haul the horse he'll have to drive his jeep wherever we go. i'd like a shorter living space with slideouts for more comfort when stationary, as i think we'll park and explore for a month or two before moving on. meanwhile i have a 2001 f350 dually diesel 4x4 with 45 thousand miles i hope will be enough truck for a new rig. hopefully i don't also have to upgrade the truck! i'll be trading in my 2002 hawk custom gooseneck and 2002 f350 4x4 single rear wheel with 195 thousand miles so have a bit of wiggle room i suppose. i know mid nineties sundowners had problems, i'm looking for a well built rig which will be a workhorse and hold it's value. maybe hawk again---will have to see who does their conversions, as i don't care to spend on cowboy themed wallpaper and pine cabs are just as nice as cherry--and i prefer to buy my own bed and recliners etc. and i thought getting the house ready to sell would be the hard part! |
