OK all this new trailer buying by SCCampers gave us trailer envy so of course we started the search.   The first was a mis advertised trailer on craigslist.  Too small, and too bad of shape.  The second was a REALLY nice new 07 Starcraft at a dealer with slide out dining area that was HUGE.  But too expensive.  Next was a Used Camplite on CL (what A MESS!!).  Another stop at another dealer to look at New Fleetwoods.

What we found on Craigslist is a 2003 Coleman/Fleetwood Tacoma. (Wavery Clone, I may change my user name ;) ) We will be the 3rd owner, and if the story is true it sounds like its only been used a total of like 8 or ten times.

A/C, heat, awning, water heater two king beds.  Pretty much what we were looking for.  Its in really nice shape, but like our last purchase needs some TLC from lack of maintainence. (Wash wax water proof, bearings packed)  Also does not have a aux battery, which I want to install.

It will be Great to have AC for lopez :-()

Look out Wayne, alot of questions coming your way :yikes:

Congratulations Dieter.  I know what you mean about the a/c.  I have been worrying about that for months.  We will have to have a viewing of all the new trailers at the campout.

Congratulations on your new trailer.  I hope you have MANY years of camping pleasure.

It took us 3x to find our dream trailer.  #1 Coleman Santa Fe, #2 Fleetwood Niagara & finally our hybrid.
 
Can't wait to check it out.  If your wife sews, I can show her how to make seatcovers for your seats.

Congrats Dieter.

Thanks for sending the T/Shirts. I'll pay you for the shipping the next time we see you.

I hope that you are as happy with your Tacoma as we are with ours. I've never had a single complaint about ours.

I have already looked at both of those.  We like the drawer mod, but we have three kids and two adults.  Maybe to drawers for the kids, but the DW and I will have to find a place for our stuff.  We purposely avoid a trailer with a bathroom and shower, cause we won't use it, and don't want the mess in the trailer.

The one down fall to this trailer that I see is storage space.  Of course I looked at the outside while wife checked out inside.  It didn't look like it had the drawer space like our starcraft to store plates and silverware etc.  We will know better when we bring it home and transfer equipment.
