We had to leave the sailing life behind after 9 years and a circumnavigation. Now getting a camper sounds like fun. We completely renovated a 1967 Airstream before we sailed but never used it. We know something about how camper trailers are put together but know nothing of using them. We want tiny, light and cheap. Airstream is too expensive for us now. We saw a 2012 coachman Viking 13k, 16 ft long, that looks appealing and they are looking for offers....asking 6900. Has all the equipment, great shape and can be hauled by our Ford 150 Truck.
First of all we want to know how these trailers rate as far as quality...when we bought our boat we related brands to cars....like our boat was the Caddie of the sailing world but not the Chevy or Porche. Would this Above trailer be like a basic Escort or Accord or Buick....it's not like an Airstream which would be like a Lexis. If this makes sense!
We are comfortable with small cuz we are used to the simple efficient life. We never tried to make a boat into a house and won't do that with an rv. We are both short, too! We were tent campers in our younger days. Now we are upper 60s.
We have lots to find out about voyaging on land but getting the right tool is our first challenge and would appreciate suggestions.
We would love to learn about boondocking...we see it as anchoring on land. If we can sail by the pirates in Somalia, I think we can park anywhere we can get away with it. We can live without fridges and are used to just headlights.
We've been in our new house for 5 months and are feeling the call to get up and go again.
