Expand We had to make a change in plans as the weather here is very cold for Spring. Where we were headed had fresh snow the other day so we decided to hang out at a lovely B&B in the countryside for a few days. Then we are either headed to Prince George, British Columbia....or into the next Province (Alberta) to look at a travel trailer.......that's what happens when you get an internet connection after a week, you start shopping.....lol We are looking at maybe something like this... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand At first not so good, the trailer we would really like is a wait of 6 to 8 months to have it built. They have become really popular here and there are only poorly made ones available. Plus it is the start of the camping season here... Then we went to this big RV place that had lots of the big trailers, just too much for us. Then the sales dude said they had a small used trailer in the back corner behind some stuff. It was just sitting back there all lonely. Funny enough it was just what we were looking for small, affordable, rugged and I like that it is used, as it is the first time we are driving with a trailer so I am sure it will get a few scratches...... I am a bit nervous about driving with it....I will just need to not be a spaz....and go slow! We pick it up on Tuesday. It wouldn't have happened but we had to stay somewhere for a week to handle some stuff and so we were able to make the purchase. It's funny, the place we are staying is called Horsefly and the trailer in called a TigerMoth, what the hell with the bugs....lol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can carry more water, fuel and tools as well. It has great storage so we can free up some space in our vehicle.

Expand I know its silly but you being inaccessible to bears make me happier (I mean real bears you weirdos, not the other kind!). Reckon you’ll be more than fine with a trailer, its like learning to ride/drive anything else. Pick a moment when things are quiet and you feel nearly ready and go for a short spin down to a roundabout and back again and just go.

Expand Hey thanks, it is nice to have someone worry about me being eaten by bears. . Went for backroad drive the other day and we saw 5 black bears and 1 young grizzly bear, really fun when you are in a vehicle.
