New to the Group - Molded Fiberglass Fan!!!
Posted: August 27th, 2017, 6:48 pm
Hi All,
Laura and I are a couple of empty nesters that are in our 2nd season RVing and traveling with our '05 Casita 17' Freedom Deluxe travel trailer (egg camper). As you may know, Casita's are made from molded fiberglass. I caught the RV bug in the Fall' 14. Initially, I thought we would get an RV at retirement (10 years at the time). The more I researched, the more I got the bug. I thought a small, used travel trailer would be a great way to start after our youngest graduated from college (4 years at the time). By the Summer '15, I had discovered "egg campers". We then visited a rally in October, '15. Rather than waiting 4 more years, we bought our new to us Casita one month later followed by a used tug in December, '15!!! We camped 38 nights in '16 and towed 4,000 miles. In '17, we will camp 40 to 45 nights. I have my one and only sabbatical in the Spring, '18. So far, I have scheduled 47 nights of camping in '18 and will probably hit 60 nights in '18. We love traveling, RVing, and camping.
We are very happy with our Casita, but both us are enamored with small motorhomes (small Class Cs or B+s at or under 25'). Being a fan of molded fiberglass, I learned about Chinooks. I have spent some time this weekend researching Chinooks. Prior to retirement in 6 to 8 years, we are thinking of buying a small used motorhome and using it as well. This would give us a better idea of what we want to do come retirement by either upgrading our Casita to an Escape, Bigfoot, or Oliver (all egg campers) or perhaps a newer small motorhome. I tend to like Lazy Daze, Phoenix Cruisers, Coach House (molded fiberglass, but very pricey), Leisure Travel Vans, Winnebago Views, etc.
After reading about Chinooks, WOW! Very nice!!!
If you don't mind, I am going to hang out here some to learn more about these uber cool small motorhomes. I have learned enough to know that Chinooks are high end small motor homes and that their owners are passionate about them.
Take care and Happy Camping to All,
Dean
