My wife and I rented the Basecamp 16 footer for a weekend as our first experience camping in an RV a few years ago. It was the best thing we could have done. Because of our experience in the Basecamp that weekend we decided to buy a 30 Foot Classic. LOL We both felt if we were 30 years younger we would have been fine with it though. I hope you continue to enjoy yours, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't lead to a longer trailer in the future. We spend 2 to 3 months at a time on the road, so that makes a big difference in how much room we need.

Stabilizers jacks are for stabilizing, not leveling. I am thinking you have figured this out by now, but just in case you did not I thought I would mention this.

Our channels are very similar in size and subscriber/non-subscriber views. We are looking at getting a 16-foot Basecamp in the next 2 years. Looking at a Honda Pilot for towing. I hike, so this would take us to trail heads and let my wife drive around while I backpack. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I enjoyed this a lot!

Don't bring it all & don't "move into" the campsite. After every trip, I scale back even more because I always end up with too many things, which I dislike because I'm towing with a Jeep & weight is #1.

can you tell me what mattress you got and how you travel with the bed... unmake, make daily.
@aaronandamandaАй бұрын
We now use two smaller mattresses from RV Mattress. You can check them out here. www.rvmattress.com/rivetnroll. It allows us to move them, stack them, and still use the table during the day. We do convert the bed to a table pretty much every day so there is a lot of making and unmaking the bed.

Well duh by the logic you should just throw in some cash to index funds, bonds etc and never spend anything recreational. Sounds like a boring life 😂 people get so caught up in investing/ saving they forget to live in the present and that life is short. Not saying live beyond your means but if it’s something you really want do it !
