Hey check this out, this web-site Quicksilver All Aluminum Ultra Light Campers, Ultralight Campers, Lightweight Campers, Ultra-Lightweight Campers . The unit looks really neat. Check out the VRV, cargo-camping trailer.

Fred been awhile since I've seen a post from you. All's well I hope and Miles is riding again?

[Big Dog]

Ted, the way things are, I've been running all over. Going areas that I haven't been to in years. Just got home yesterday, been out for 2 months. Hope to get back out on Monday. Miles is glad to be home, he likes riding in the golf cart and playing with some of the local dogs.

Got to say, one load went out to the Ok. and Tx. panhandle. To a wind farm, there is prospertiy in some areas of the country. These guys had work for as far out as they could plan for!

Hope all is well with MJ and you.

Fred, THANKS for the link!! Looks like just what I've been looking for....a conventinal toyhauler is just "too much" for what little I may use it, but this definitely looks like it might be an option for me in the next year or so. :yes: I've already begun "planning" a few trips....

[rmrc51]

Yes,, Thanks Fred. We were considering some kind of trailer. I'll definitely be looking into this company!

[Big Dog]

Well I placed an order for a 22' unit. Tip out on driver side, sofa bed driver side front. Sink, 8 gal. water tanks, roof air, fantastic fan, inverter, 18' awning, and the rear roll up screen.
Scheduled to pick it up between Christmas and New Years.:yes:

Going big time on the camping setup Fred. Congrats, now just get the time off to use it. Happy Holidays buddy

[Nana]

Congratulations Fred. Sounds like you are planning some fun stuff

Ya know, my wife has been wanting me to do an addition to the house for quite a few years now, Maybe this will do instead?

Fred- you don't know me, but I'm very interested to get an update from you on the VRV trailer you bought. Can you please tell us your experience, and post or email me some pics? I'm dying to buy one of these. Thanks!

[Big Dog]

Bob, I'd be glad to post some pictures. These first two are at Maggie Valley, just getting setup. With the 22' unit you have to unload the Stallion before you drop the unit. Not enough ground clearance.


These two shots are of the tip out bunk, with the "SleepDog Mattress", not the stock mattress. In my opinion it was worth less, unless you were under 98 pounds. The new mattress is 8" compared to 2.5", and it fits in the storage bag!


This one shows the Stallion loaded, and the mattress bag on the wall.

Here is the sofa bed in the front, opened with the Stallion loaded.

This last one shows the clearance down the side, with Stallion loaded, and the tip out put in the travel mode, and the sofa bed hung up on the wall in it's travel mode.



Now Tom, the designer has come out with a 24' unit, that he has told me will offer more of a rv feel. In appliances and a private sleeping area up front. I have not seen the plans but, we have spent several hours talking about the changes. Any questions email me at trucker1950@hotmail.com

[bobholthaus]

Wow, great shots. Thanks for the thorough explanation. As soon as business recovers (commercial real estate), I'll be buying one of these! Thanks Tom.

Off the subject, but wondering - how are Miles and Cargo? Would love to see some more pictures of both of them - pets are wonderful, aren't they?

[Big Dog]

miles is fine, Cargo is the devil! So far I've replaced 3 pillows, and I'm sitting at Lenscrafters waiting on new glasses...the old ones were a new chew toy!

[Blondie Gal]

Buy him plenty of chew toys, buddy - and get contact lenses!!!

gotta love them puppies

Cute as a button one minute, devil the next. He does not like ice or snow, I don't blame him, but no poop in the truck!

No poop in the truck is a big plus

Just took delivery of a new VRV motorcycle camper. This years model features a dry bath!!!! Mine is 7 x 18 and will fit either two full dresser Yamaha touring bikes or my Honda trike. Once the bike is outside, the back end has a screen that pulls down. Great if you have backed up to a lake or river view. It is still winterized, but I can't wait to get it out there. Will post pictures once it is loaded up with motorcycles. The dealer took great pains to fit each motorcycle and place chocks and tie downs right where we wanted them.
Click on link at front of this thread for more information. My dealer is Southland Motorhome Center in Buford GA.

Just added pictures of toyhauler loaded in two configurations. One with trike only, and one with two cruisers with fairings and bags. Pictures are in album. Hope you can see them.
