CRAZY COMPACT Fully Equipped RVs! ASCAPE Teardrop and A-Frame RVs

[@artiicom]

When I'm older I wanna travel in a rv so I can pursue my dream of photography and wolf biology. I'm only 13 but would like to get my life together earlier rather than later.

[@thelowmein9143]

Go to work for a college let them give you a grant and they can pay for it!

[@LM_357]

Worst thing you can do is drugs, then

[@Sunofsovereign]

Don't listen to anyone negative. Know who you are and what you want and don't let anyone deter you from your dream. You can find an RV under 10k. All drugs are not bad and can help with trauma (specifically psychedelics) and college is not always the answer and can leave you with a lifetime of debt. Best of luck and God bless.

[@Avacarho]

Go for it! Scrimp and save for a really good digital camera with a fantastic telephoto lens, and learn how to use it while you’re still in school. Then you can build an amazing portfolio while in college so you can get a career with National Geographic, Smithsonian, Discovery Channel, etc. Best of luck!

Scenario; you’re outside of your camper with friends camping, having a great time. It’s getting late, and cold. Fire needs to go out. People need sleep, but the conversation hasn’t calmed down yet. You set the camper to a nice toasty temp with the app, and by the time you head into the camper you’re nice an toasty and ready for sleepy time.

[@CashJohnston]

Too cold in the AM to get out from under covers perhaps. Not sure, but my car also has a lot of bluetooth smart options when the dials are right on the dash.

[@madogblue]

I never could see the attraction to the A liner personally. We were parked in an RV campground where my neighbor had one and this older couple had made the move from tenting and were very happy and used to bare bones camping. They loved theirs and I was impressed just how quickly they broke camp and their small vehicle pulled the small unit easily and with good fuel economy.

[@Vanlifecrisis]

Seems like you saw the attraction just fine

[@curtbrackenrich7883]

I love these smaller and lighter RV's, but these prices? Insane!

He's honest about pricing - it varies between regions. People getting too old for a tent this gives them a easy solution for a small camper to get use to towing. I like it.

[@ggolds5]

The Sunset Park Sunray is my new favorite. As low as $9995 at the shows and it has everything!. Wet bath, kitchen, folding dinette to a queen bed, even a bed dinette setup. Birch interiors. Convection mic. Really nice. This camper is nice, but becomes pricey fast. People have this idea that they want walk on roof, fiberglass and aluminum etc. However, the wood frames will last just as long if you take care of them. If they get damaged they are very cheap and easy to fix. A fiberglass aluminum unit is very hard and very expensive to fix and insurance companies hate them. Sometimes simply is best.

[@manbeastx69]

That RV salesman would make a great politician. I noticed when you asked him what type of vehicle could tow the trailer he never answered your question. Instead he goes right into one or two people could use the trailer, then immediately takes you back and shows you the inside.

[@Taylor-dl2kr]

I think the pricing depends though..like he said with freight charges and stuff. I looked at a hemisphere 22rbhl at a smaller family owned dealer and it was $27,995. Went to a big dealer that buys in bulk and has more room to store trailers... They had the same one for $22,995. I talked to the forest river rep on the phone about it and he said they dont set the pricing, dealers do.

[@richrich6135]

Yeah, that interviewer is doing the product no favours.

[@Hundert1]

A well made unit no matter what size is adorable. These small travel trailers DEFINITELY have a place in the world. At this point I'm beginning to think the Lance RV company makes the best unit in USA. The other travel trailer company that seems of better standards than most is Highland Ridge. The trailer I'm awe struck by is Highland Ridge Open Range 221 RQB Light. I believe Lance makes a travel trailer about this 22-26 foot length also, but with only one or two slides, neither of which are a rear slide. But I'm pretty sure both are 100% four seasons fully tested units. I'd like to see 100 gallon fresh water tanks and 50 gallon black 50 gallon gray in all travel trailers over about 18 feet in length. I'm also wondering why they can't make the entire trailer frame of aluminium. Have a spectacular weekend

[@fritty9927]
