 garym053Slowpez,
 
 Check the TrailManors.  We are getting to pick one up for ourselves.  It will fit in many garages, is lightweight and still " pops up" .[link=]http://www.trailmanor.com[/link].  (I don t know if the link will work or not.  You may need to cut and paste.)  We looked at all sorts of hybrids and lightweight trailers and fell in love with the TrailManor.  PUT even did an article on them last year.

 garym053We have already been looking at 5ers.  The one we like is HUGE!
 But it would be our home, so space would be necessary.....
 We have quite a few years yet before this would happen, we ll start out with a small 5er to get our feet wet......soon as the van is ready to retire (it ll be a while tho..only 50,000 on it), a Truck will be the next TV.

 garym053OK, I know it s probably not considered camping ?
 
 My next move (for vacations) is into a cabin.[:)]
 And we won t be waiting until we retire.
 
 We ll still probably have a PU or tent for traveling.
 Since I don t like staying in hotels when it s nice out.

 garym053I was the opposite! I went from spending 49 days a year in Motels and Cabins on the coast of Maine to a TENT! Then from a tent to a pop-up. We were considering buying a condo in maine until we got hooked on camping! Now when we go to Maine, I compare the nightly cost of the campsite ($35.00) to the cost of our old room on the coast ($199.00)

 garym053IF anything that doesn t POP-OUT or POP-UP and has wheels is the " Dark Side" , Is a CABIN the " Dark Dark Side" ?
 
 Just kidding! Just Kidding!

 garym053Well, I did retire and stiill am not sure what is popping other than the popup.
 
 I think Marcy and I have seen the same 5er and it is a really nice one.
 
 Dw and I are still in the thinking stage as to what might be the next move and a hybrid seems to be near the top.  A trip to the Boston RV show might be helpful.[:)]
 
 Thing is that as you reach a greater state of maturity, you have to consider the bathrooms a little more, how much the arthritis is slowing the arms down to crank the popup up and what health issues you might have.  Oh yeah, how much is in the wallet.

 garym053We re still going to keep the popup, only it just might be a popup on four wheels, with an engine.  Take a look:  http://www.sportsmobile.com

 garym053We want to get rid of everything and hit the road when we retire.  My thought is a 5er, I guess a Class A could be nice as well.  To me it s still camping, I prefer to cook outdoors and have a campfire and sit around and relax and I love the idea of traveling all over the country.  Gee too bad we have over 20 yrs to go.  Sigh....

 garym053Been retired for all most 7 years and have had the pop up from 99 before that we tent camped[:D] so untill I can t crank up the pop up any more we ll keep popping up
