Today we picked up our new Palomino Puma travel trailer! http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBEGtB6ZrP8
It is 33 feet long and will sleep 9 (OK, maybe 7 comfortably). There are 3 bunk beds in the back room and a queen bed in the front room with a sofa, dinette, and full kitchen in the main area. There is a bathroom with a small tub and shower. It also has an outside kitchen. It is quite a step up from our Coleman pop-up camper. We loved our pop-up and made many great memories in it, including 2 trips to Disney World and 2 trips to South Dakota, but as a family we had just outgrown it.
We visited the Fort Worth RV Show a couple of weeks ago and had a blast looking at all of the fancy motorhomes, fifth wheels, camper vans, and travel trailers. We brought along a camera to take pictures of the ones that we really liked for our family. We also have been searching the web for pictures and prices. We seriously considered a Class C motorhome. It would have sleeping space for all 6 of us, and it would make driving so much easier. Ultimately we decided on a travel trailer because it was a fourth to a third of the cost of a Class C and then we would have our car to drive around when we got to where we were going. We didn't want to buy a Class C and not have any money left to travel in it. Many of them also have more interior room than the Class C's.
On Monday we loaded the kids in the car and went to one of the RV dealers from the show. We looked at a few options and decided on the Puma 30KDBSS travel trailer. This morning we took care of paperwork for insurance and storage and then picked it up this afternoon. We are so excited about making new family memories in this camper. We are trying to decide where we will go first and plan some trips. Some places on our wish list are Louisiana for Mardi Gras, Branson MO, Catholic Familyland in Ohio, Washington DC, the Grand Canyon, and of course our favorite Disney World!
Very exciting! A trip to the grand canyon it in would be great!
