YEA! Finally got a new trailer

[paccool]

Well, we finally bought a new Travel trailer today after looking for about 2 years. We wanted to stay about 23' in box size as a lot of the parks we go to in OR and WA won't take any thing longer without going into the full hook up sites. (And a 23 is easier to handle than a 26 or 27')We like to be a little more isolated and go to the sites that have water only a lot of the time.



The one we finally settled on was a Trailblazer by Komfort. Has a small slide for the couch and lots of open space in the trailer. It was a close to what we were looking for than any of the others we looked at. Not the most expensive trailer but it seems to be of decent quality. Won't pick it up for about a week and a half. Need to get a short trip in to check out all systems before heading up to Piers in Sept.

We have owned two Komfort RVs, one a trailer and one a fifth wheel. We were pleased with both. I think you will enjoy your rig. If you are in Oregon (Portland area) and have warranty issues, Curtis Trailers is a good warranty station for the Komfort Line. They have provided excellent warranty coverage for both of my rigs. One location in Portland and one about 20 miles west of Portland in Hillsboro. By the way, if you are ever considering moving up, think about a fifth wheel. There is a world of difference in handling and road manners. Best of luck.

Didn't want a fifth wheel. We looked at them but with a bad knee and some back problems, figured one of us would do a header down the steps. Also didn't want to be on our knees all the time in the bedroom. I know the taller ones are easier steps up to the bedroom, but I don't want the wind resistance. I also wanted the bed of the truck empty for other things.



I hear lots of folks talk about how good the 5ers pull compared to a trailer but I've never had a problem with a trailer. No sway issues or anything other than one night hauling a wreaked race car home. Had to load it backwards on the trailer and ended up with the tongue weight too light.



We shall see how this one behaves when we pick it up the end of next week.
