It has been a long journey, but, we finally made it. We started in a tent when my DD was baby. Moved up to a popup and then to a hybrid. Now, we just completed the purchase on a 2012 Zinger 31SB which is currently being built at the Crossroads plant. It has been a long time coming, but, as we got older, we saw the need for a bigger RV with more space. We are very excited to take delivery in late April and can't wait for our first night in our new TT.

I TENT CAMPED ALL MY life and loved every minute of it! I've tented in weather from -20 to 110, for as long as 50 days straight. It was the hardest thing I ever did, to give up the tent. Now that we have made the change to TT, it's great. I'll never go back, full time anyway!!!! WELCOME AND "Happy Camping".

Congrats! You're gonna love it! We loved our pop-up but didn't like having to go out in the night for bathroom duties. Also when your on a trip you can pull over anywher that's safe and jump in for lunch, a nap or just a coffee break etc. Not to mention the set-up diference, worrying about folding it up when it's wet. Like I said you'll love the TT. Enjoy.

What are you going to be towing it with?

We made the move from tent to TT as well.

Tented for a number of years. Then bought a Popup to pull behind our Goldwing Motorcycle and enjoyed that. Then wife had to have an indoor bathroom, so we went to TT.

Bought our first TT 3 years ago and enjoyed it. Got a good deal at a time when we really could not afford cash, but it did not fill our needs. So we traded it. Went a couple of years older, but got all our needs met, (almost). Old one had bunks and no slide. Very basic trailer. The new one has large slide, no bunks, much nicer trailer, 4 more feet of room, and we traded straight across for it. We were blessed.

The only other thing I would want is a bedroom slide. Been camping 2 times since we got it in November, and it was freezing both times. Going Easter weekend, no freeze expected and will be looking for many more trips.
