We had two awesome summers in our Coyote...but have decide to sell it and rent cabins, BnB's or Hotels for the next few years. This does a cpl of things. No winter styorage issue and the $500+ to store it, as well as a monthly payment that can be put towards the mortgage. It was and still is a great trailer .. No question. Light, easy to pull had all the amenities...but now it's just not a good fit for us. The girls are now busy teens with a social life as I'm told "don't ya know Dad..??"

And that's fine..no trailer for a cpl of years or so...and then we get one just for the boss n me. (Don Teresa...!). Maybe a small 5'er or a 21' or so with maybe a nice slide out and a bed that can handle more than 4" of foam....and made up when you get to where you're going.! oh yea baby.! If the girls want to come then...no problem, we still have a nice little dome tent they can use..!!

Take care y'all..not done camping/trailerin just quite yet..!!

Cheers,

Stk

Every turn in life makes a new direction. Looks like you have chosen a good path for you for this turn.



Good luck with the B N B thing, and the Hotel/Motels for a while. Maybe your next turn will be a retirement Motorhome and you can really live in.

Don't let the bed bugs bite!

They are reaching epidemic proportions in lodgings throughout the country (I assume the same in Canada). One of the reasons why I take my trailer when visiting my parents out in Missouri is so I DON'T have to stay in a hotel along the way (two day trip).

The ONE time I did stay in a hotel (first time in ten years) doing that trip, you guessed it, BED BUGS!

This has to be the Steakman from The DP. Howdy. Great pics you have. Neat idea on that back bumper you made. Sorry to hear of your decision but I understand. We have 3 teenagers ourselves. Since our Cub is paid for we decided to keep it and spend more time together. Kids do not always go with us now. Sometimes 1 or 2 will go. The oldest is busy going to school and working 2 jobs. The DD loves to camp. It will be hard to keep her at home. But we get to see the things we could not when trying to keep younger kids entertained. Or just sitting around camp reading a good book. Happy travels and see you on the DP.

We'll miss you for a while, but I suspect you'll be back within the ranks when your circumstances permit. Good luck to you in the meantime!
