Zeit...there's a dealer in Chichester called Camping World of NH. Know anything about it?
Man, you look at the new (and I mean NEW--never rented, never taken off the lot) 2011 models, and they are seriously cutting prices to get rid of them. Like 30-50 percent off the 2011 list prices.
I like the looks of this one--simple, not too expensive, and probably small enough to be hauled with the Jeep:
Formerly known as Gary's IIRC. I have shopped them but never bought anything. Never heard any horror stories. Camping World is a huge franchise IIRC. I would suspect it is tough for all of the camping places with fuel prices the way they are. There is a lot of truth to the adage if you have to worry about the cost of fuel you probably can't afford the coach, but the truth is fuel is keeping many people out of the market.
I will say this. Make sure you match the trailer, hitch, and braking systems
before you buy. Just because a vehicle says it has a trailer towing package does not mean it can tow a travel trailer. Without enough engine, cooling, shocks, brakes, axillary wiring, and, hitch, it can become one of the ten trials of Hercules towing a travel trailer. Many dealers are notorious for not putting enough emphasis on the tow vehicle. They sell the trailer and let you figure it out on the road.
It is amazing to see the size of pick up campers they will put on
1/2 ton trucks. I started with a pickup camper on a fully built 3/4 4x4 360CID PowerWagon. ) That sucker drank gas like a sailor drinks 3.2 beer.
For my next adventure I plan on putting a steering damper on the MH. Amazing the grooving on our nations highways.
