Hubby and I had a devastating business set-back. I suddenly had the idea we needed a travel trailer. (We had tent-camped maybe twice in 15 years, so he was kinda, like, "Wha?")
At a dealership, I looked at a huge, heavy, square stick-built that was so 70s it had orange and harvest gold floral wall paneling and orange counter tops. I loved it! We asked a friend to look it over and he said: "There is a 17"
Boler in the Buy-and-Sell for the same price. Fibreglass is
light and easy to tow, it will not rot or rust, you should call them now."
I said, "Yeah, okay, I'll call them tomorrow."
He said, "Call them now -- and bring a certified cheque."
I took his advice and am I ever glad I did! Saved our sanity, and since we were both suddenly unemployed, we took a nice long vacation and showed our part of the world to our kid.
I think that's called lemonade.
