The Debate:
- Do I buy a 21' camper and tow it with my truck? No, Ican't haul 4 people in my truck.
- Do I buy a new extended cab truck? No, not in the budget.
- Do I buy a pop-up tent trailer and haul it with the Intrepid? I could but then you spend $4000 dollars for a big tent with press board cupboards.
- What else can I tow with the Intrepid?
A boler, Skamp, Aliner or any 13' trailer. But then for the $4000 I end up with a 20 year old trailer that I need to fix up.

The Answer:
You knew this was coming.......A Teardrop trailer!!!!!

   My wife and I happened across a Travel channel show called RV Crazy!   We were hooked, we both thought "How cool is that?".    After we searched the net for a month or so, we decided that is was very acheivable and we wanted to do it.   My father thinks I'm crazy and I won't like that style of camping, but Lori and I are pretty set that this is what we would like to do.
  We are currently developing ideas on what we would like.   A 5' x 9' Benroy with a fold-out is the leading idea.   The boys would tent camp, but I would like the option of bringing them in, in case of weather.   Thus the fold-out.
  I hope to start the project this winter (2004) but I also have a deck project planned for the house that could interfere with that.   When I do get started this site will show my progress and bill of materials and costs.   Until then we will keep reading on the Tiny Tears teardop forum and getting Ideas.

  More to come soon....
