The New Trailer

I can't even tell you how happy I am with our new travel trailer.  It's absolutely perfect for us.  I'm so glad we bought it.  Here are some pictures, I finally got around to taking some on this trip.  If you have rough kids like we do, this is really the nicest you want to go.  And by that I mean entry level, LOL.  The Coach and I dream of the day we buy a snazzy retirement RV with all the bells and whistles, but that won't be for many years.  Until then, it's utilitarian all the way.

I think the refrigerator has quickly become my favorite feature.  Well, the whole thing is awesome, but I truly appreciate the fridge.  No more coolers with soggy food in them, no more buying bags of ice every single day.  

 The freezer is perfect for ice and popsicles.  The kids were super happy when they saw fudge pops inside on our latest trip.

The boys have triple bunks tucked into the back corner by the bathroom.  The middle and top bunk each have windows with curtains, and the whole area can be curtained off.  Pretty nifty.  The bottom bunk is close to the floor, it's perfect for Bo.  No worry about falling out.  Jack loves the middle bunk, and Justice wanted the top, so it's three happy boys all the way around.  

The remind me of racks on the ship, so I think they are pretty much perfect, lol.

 Across from the bunks is a big closet they share.  There is a hanging closet rod and three shelves.  I pack pajamas, socks, and underwear in the bins and there is room next to the bins for shoes.  Three shelves, three kids.  Perfect.

The bathroom has a small tub and shower.  This is The Coaches favorite part of the trailer, because he no longer has to use the campground showers.  I made the boys use the campground showers, and as long as they are clean and not gross I will probably continue to make them do so.  They are SO DIRTY while we are camping, and ticks and all that…  it's just better if they hose off the daily grime outside of the clean travel trailer.  This decision displeases The Coach, but so far I win.  I camped plenty of times when I was a kid and I don't even think I realized my grandparents had a shower in their trailer.  No way were they letting us kids in it.  I'm ok with that.  

There is a ton of storage in the bathroom.  

 A very comfy queen sized bed with a memory foam mattress.  I'm not going to lie, it's nice sleeping on a comfortable bed while camping.  Also plenty of storage.  Each side of the bed has a hanging clothes area and deep storage up top.  The bed flips up and there is storage underneath it.  I keep the dirty clothes basket and cases of water, extra blankets, toilet paper, etc. underneath. 

Fully functional kitchen, I've tested all appliances and I'm really happy with them.  Everything is perfect. 

The seating area is plenty big, and converts into a bed.  We actually use the bed on every trip.  It's perfectly situated in front of the TV, and at night after they shower and put on their pajamas they lay down on it and watch movies.  

Anyway, that's the grand tour.  I couldn't be happier with it.  If you are thinking about making the plunge, do it.  You will be glad you did, but just be careful… don't get caught up in more than you need or want.  If you have little kids, you don't want to go high price tag, just trust me.  Camping is dirty and so are kids!  Save your money for when you are one of those folks that are too old and hogging up the highway with your big fancy rig.
