Sep 9 2017 - A tour of our new house




Well here it is.  This is the front 'dinette'  Everything you need - Wine,beer,laptop, pot plant.  We haven't mentioned the plant yet.  Its from our Texas house.  As we were leaving for this trip we had a last look around and it was pleading with us to come along.  So we have managed to keep it alive and now it has a new home.   This end becomes a quite comfortable bed - its even big enough for Jim!
If you look carefully you can see that the trailer is wide enough to have storage under the shelf the plant is on.  This is unusual in a trailer of this length.  And loads of storage above and even a radio.



The back end.  That sofa can become a bed.  Wardrobe on right end of sofa.  Large fridge with separate freezer to right of wardrobe, and wet  bath is behind that final door on the right.
Up on the roof you can  just see the reversible exhaust fan,  there is an A/C up there too in the middle of the trailer.  Storage above, storage below....



Shoes mark the entry door! 3 burner cooktop is hiding under the mugs.  Oven is an unusual feature in such a small trailer. There is a sink under the taps.  Loads of storage.  Down low next to the blue cool-box is one of the 3 heat ducts.  Yes it has a furnace to keep us toasty.


A quick look at the outside - you can see a large awning rolled up over the door side, the big lump on the roof is the A/C, the front window rock guard is down (it hinges up to just above horizontal) and the box on the front contains 2 propane tanks and 2 12v batteries.

The inside lights (LED) and fans run off 12V
Water pump (if using on-board tank) is 12V
Water heater is propane
Furnace is propane
Fridge switches between propane and 120V
A/C needs 120V

Running down the road the fridge is on propane.
If you get to a campground with electric, it switches over automatically,
and an on-board charger tops up the batteries.


So why did we buy this trailer? Jim can stand up in it (rare)  Jim can sleep in it (rare) Having a window at each end makes it feel airy.  Most importantly it was available at the right time.
