How long have you had your trailer?

[Mike Magee]

Actually I haven't had my trailer any longer than its original length, it doesn't get any longer than that... lol

So what do you have at the "moment" and how long has the "moment" lasted?

I resemble that remark
2 16 Casita .
,2 17 casita , 1 Big Foot fiver , 1 class c , and now a Lil Snoozy. I take the 5th .

[Dick & Joanne]

We had a Casita for 4 years and were very happy with it. But grandchildren happened and we wanted a second bed. So we sold the C for $4000 less than we paid and made a nice down payment on this 5.0. This is our third summer with it, the kids love it and I don't anticipate changing again.

I bought the 13' Trillium in July, 1998. It was exactly what I wanted......simple to tow, set-up and had no leaks. Didn't have a furnace, had an ice box and two burner cook-top. Nothing to complicate things. Loved it for 14 years.....still love it. Gave it to my daughter so it would stay in the family.

But......as the years went by, I thought.....would be nice to have deep-cell battery, front dinette so I wouldn't need to switch the table, outside light......you know 'a little more room'. And happen to see the 4500 Trillium for sale in April 2012. Just what I wanted. This will be the one till I can no longer camp.

I have had my Cloud for 3 years now and I am still convinced it is the best purchase I have ever made. It is a work in progress but I use it in between modifications. In my first 3 years it has followed me around 10000 miles and has allowed me to see places I wouldn't have been able to see without her plus I love the attention she gets when we have her out an about. I spend a quarter of my day just meeting new people, answering questions, and giving tours if my Cloud which I lovingly call my "Escape Pod".

1993 Kwik Kamp motorcycle trailer. Just gave that one to my daughter.
1977 Triple E Surfside, had it for 3 years.
1978 Biggar, my forever trailer.

[MC1]

Coleman Rio Grande..... Bought it in 1996 for $6,000. Towed it all over North America. Sold in 2002 for $5,900.

1973 Airstream bought in 2002 for $6,000 and still own it. Market value today about $7,500.

[Jon Vermilye]

I purchased my Escape 17 in April, 2011, but in the 2 1/4 years I've towed it 36,500 miles around the US and Canada.

[kootenaigirl]

In a fairly short time, couple of years - I have had (in order but overlapping) a 76 Trillium 13. 2010 Scamp 16. 75 Boler 13, 99 Scamp 13 & currently a 2008 Casita 17. Loved them all & wouldn't hesitate to buy any of them again. However must say that the Casita seems to fit our needs best for now but I am still adjusting to the concept of pulling something so big around!
Just wish I had a bigger yard so I could keep a fleet!

[Jaydeen A.]

30 + years. 1981 Burro, parents bought new in 1981 gave it to me about 2 years later and I have had it ever since. It's part of the family.

[james kent]

Just a bare 19 years. My wife saw it in a used trailer yard, bought it and came home to tell me to go and tow it home. We've since repainted it, Replaced the axle, added a screen door, redone the interior with a permanent bed and two-person dinette, added exterior hatches to access the old seat areas, it's been to the western provinces several times and attended quite a few Boleramas east and west.
We often keep a small sign in the door window that just says. "NO it's NOT".

I've had my UH since 2005. Didn't camp so much the first 3 years, but been using it regularly since then.

So true, over the years I have used truck campers and motorhomes and have to say the current trailer which I have had for 6 years has worked out the best so far. Lots of great memories with it. Is it my forever trailer or the trailer I would own if I won the Lotto tomorrow? Nope not by a long shot but I love it just the same.

We took delivery of our 13' Scamp on December 15 2005.
I have no idea how many miles it's been towed, but it's a bunch. This year it's been towed about 7,000 miles and slept in about 120 nights so far. This year is a bit lower in miles and usage than the last two years.
The first 4 years it was out some place every month for at least a couple nights and 2 to 3 weeks in the summer.
Now that were among the retired set our short trips are usually around 10 days and the long ones close to a 100 days. The SW is great in the winter.

My other RV is a 45 lb backpack. Typical camp.

We bought our Compact Jr in 2004 and it may soon be passed on to my son. We bought our Bigfoot in 2009 and plan to keep it until age keeps us from camping.
