I'm kind of late to this post, this is our first MH, but here's the history:
Tents - 10 years
1978 HiLo - 5 years
1997 pop up - 4 years
1983 Newell - coming up on 2 years.
Now that the re power is done, I'm planning on keeping it for awhile.

My son and I are very active in his Scout Troop so I still spend 12-20 days a year in a tent.

Scott,

Tom and I, are ex Scouters. Those were some great years. I need the Newell now to take my two pound tent from place to place (sarcasm)

Wow, wonderful pictures. That 2 story "Penthouse" trailer must have been a handful in traffic. Look like a 29 ft overhang from the rear axle.

Thanks Guy..........The Penthouse, as pictured, has a 19.5' overhang; I will ad a third axel to make it a 17' overhang.  It will certainly be a handful to handle on the road, but it'll be worth it.  Smile
