There may be a thread on this, but I didn't see it, so what kind camper do you have and what are the specs and that something special that you like about your camper?
We currently have a 1999 coleman cheyenne pop up, but are shopping for a 5th wheel. We need one with bunks for the kids, those are hard to come by.

We have a 2008 Fleetwood Southwind (Class A). We love it. :love:
We traded in our Coachmen Freelander (Class C) for it. The Freelander was a great starter for us but I wouldn't go back. We have so much more room and storage. It is great!

We have a 1993 prowlerregal 335m 5th wheel.Bought it used in 95.The thing I like about this model is that it has a garden tub,no hitting your elbows on the shower door or the shower wall.They don't make them like they used too.If you read any rv forums,all you read is trailers falling apart,frames breaking.I do wish it had smooth sides but you can't have everything.

we are trying to decide between a 04 prowler regal bunkhouse or an 05 dutchmen colorado bunkhouse. We like them both...but the colorado has the corner stand up shower in it..very nice.

2007 Aluma-Lite 8306S, 7600GW, 31'2" SS. I like the ducted air/heat, enclosed underbelly, tons of storage, all aluminum frame and this trailer has more usable counter space than I thought was possible.

We have a 2000 Lance 820 truck camper. It has everything: stove, oven, microwave, dinette, queen bed and bathroom, just in a small space! :cutie: (We went from a 29' Keystone Springdale with a slide to 8'6"!!!)
The best thing about it is that we can take it anywhere our truck can go. We use it mostly at the beach since it's close by and we can drive on the sand. We take it even if we're only going for the day. Any longer than a few days and it seems even smaller than it is!!! lol :laughing:

We are trading our Everest fifth wheel in for the Sierra 335qbq. It has the bunkhouse at the end with a second bathroom. The Sierra 375 qbq (i think) also has the bunhouse but no second bathroom.

We've got a 2002 Coleman Niagara. Moved up from a 1990 Coleman Sequoia. Now we have air/heat/potty and slideout. Oh, the joy.
If we moved up to a travel trailer, we'd have to pay to park it somewhere. HOA frowns on anything over fence height. Love our camper though.

We have a 2005 28' Outback TT. Very happy with it as our first camper. We love it and use it all the time.
Just looked at 5th wheels the other day and saw at least 4 with quad bunkbeds.
One day we'll move up, but for now we're happy with no payment. Unless you count the new truck payments :scared1:

We just got a new TT toy hauler last week :cool1: . We love it. 35' long, enough room to haul 2 golf carts inside ( you have to take the top off one of them though ). Front private bedroom and you can walk around the bed. 3 sofas and you can put the table where you want. Power over head bed in the rear of the trailer. It will sleep 7 no problem you could push it to 9. We ordered it from up north and had it delivered to Texas. Oh yeah it is a 2009 Wolf pack 30wp. It is amazing how much cheaper the trailers are up north. Even paying to get it shipped.

I don't know where you are located but Heartland makes a 5th wheel called a sundance and it has the best famly floorplan I have seen. It has 2 bedrooms one in the nose and a dropfloor playroom in the rear with a stairway to a loft bed upstairs.
I work for an rv dealer and we got one in the other day they are cool.

When we were looking for a new trailer last year we liked the Outbacks especially the rear living area with the picture window and dual swivel chairs, but the lack of an actual full closet nixed that model as all we saw only had those useless shirt closets which over the bed nightstands would barely hold a weekend worth of stuff. We now have the shirt closets in the bedroom for shorts and some t-shirts and a nice like 3' wide real closet for coats, pants, and shirts that we don't want to come out wrinkled.

In 2006 we bought our 2004 Trail-Lite 8306S TT. I'ts 30 ft hitch to bumper, weighs 4760lbs dry, is less than 9 ft tall to roof, has a front living room with a dinette slide, a bar , eye level tv across from the couch, a large hall closet, rear queen bedroom, fiberglass ext, underneath enclosed with metal panels. We especially like the nice living area, you can see the tv from the couch, the 2 bar stools and one side of the dinette. It is a great living room layout for a midsize trailer. We prefer more livingroom and kitchen space so we chose not to have bunk beds. This is the largest trailer I will ever own. My next one will be a Hi-Lo, for better gas milage, and use a cabin tent for extra space. Even though my trailer is an ultralite, my towing gas milage is not good, about 9mpg with my old 5.4 expedition. Hopeing it will be a tad better with my "new" excursion, now i can use overdrive without fear of transmission damage. Anyway, low profile lite trailers like popups and hi-lo's will get much better gas milage.

We have a 2006 Crossroads Cruiser CF30QB (http://www.crossroadsrv.com/line/fp_large.asp?line=c&type=5W&fp=10060). We spend most of the summer camping in it and love the floorplan. The kids have quad bunks in the back with a TV a wardrobe closet and a door. The queen slide out in the front gives us lots of room and a full closet. There is a lot of storage inside and out. Watch the actual length of the trailer. Our model is a 30 but it is 34 feet long, paired with a crew cab dually and we are about 55 feet long!

We have a 2007 Cardinal 33 ft with triple slides and a large back bunk room. We bought it last June and our first trip was to Fort Wilderness. It's been on several trips now and we're still happy with it.
Ah...the camping life is good!;)

2003 aerolite cub 236 hybrid, with 2 full queen drop outs, and a sofa slide. There is a boat load of counter space. When you look inside, on the kitchen side, there is the door and refridge, the reset is counter space, sink which converts into counter/ stove/ and then more counter space towards the back, which is the top of the closet( axp 4 ' wide / 3 ' tall)

We have a 1998 Viking 2460 pop up. It has what we need in it, a/c, heat, fridge, screen room, shower and what I call the emergency pottie. :eek: Until we retire in 4 years, we may just keep this before we buy a MH. By then, with gas prices they ought to be pretty cheap...lol. Going to be doing our first long camp June 9th at the Fort with this pop up. As far as selling your pop up, we had terrific success selling our other one. Had 5 people wanted it the first day. I think people are looking for pop ups due to gas costs. Only 6 more days till we leave for the fort.:woohoo:

We have a 2006 TT 26RS Outback. LOVE IT! :goodvibes It has the quad bunks for the kids and a queen slide out. It has a sink and 2 burner stove outside. We cook outside a lot. The quad bunks and the outside cooking sold us. It's perfect- we have seen many others even now (2 yrs. later) and we still love our Outback (which is parked outback-HA!). No restrictions on parking rv's or boats in our subdivision. Otherwise we couldn't afford paying to park it somewhere. ;)

We have a 2003 21' Forest River Surveyor, with pretty much all the options. It has been great, we've had no problems with it. I added a third leg to the dinette, as it was tippy originally. The dinette drops down to make a big queen size bed. There is a double bed in back with a bunk above it. The foam mattress for the bunk is unusually hard (I don't know why), we are looking at replacing it this year with a softer foam mattress. I also added shelves to one of the closets.
It came with an RVQue propane grill that attached to the outside. We just couldn't seem to get used to it, and I gave it away a few years ago. It just never worked well for us. We now use a Thermos Grill-2-Go griddle type portable propane grill, and love it.
The bathroom is a little tight (some might consider it more than a little), but we are used to it.
Due to a tight driveway, we really couldn't get a longer TT. I didn't want slides or a hybrid, trying to keep it as simple as possible. Now that the kids are growing, it would be nice to have something larger, but it works fine for us.
We camp about 10 times a year, mostly weekends but usually a couple longer trips (4 days to a week) are thrown in (including FW this October!).
:drive:

We have a 2001 Holiday Rambler Vacationer that we bought used about four years ago. We began with a pop-up many many years ago, then updated to two different TT as the family grew out of both of them. We eventually upgraded to MH to take to LSU football games, and eventually a trip to FW in 2005. Heading back to the fort in Dec. 2008. Can hardly wait so I get my WDW fix on the Dis.

We have a 2006 Flagstaff Classic 625. I never thought I'd like a pop up but we have air and heat, a bathroom and a shower. It's a pretty good little thing and it saves us on gas mileage.
But you know, I just walked through the Four Winds Kodiak with the bunks and man that thing would be sweet :thumbsup2 but not sweet on the gas.

Our HR Aluma-Lite is the same trailer as yours and made by the same manufacturer after Monaco acquired R-Vision in 2006 or 2007. Just a different name and maybe level of support.
