Hi all, My wife and I have had a long time dream to get a travel trailer. She used to tent camp with me at Oshkosh (EAA air show) once a year, but after last year she announced that she was never going to camp in a tent again. Our plan was to buy the truck this year and the camper in '21. So in January we bought the tow pickup. After a process including a heart to heart with our financial adviser, visits to dealers and an aborted offer on a used trailer at a a consignment place we purchased a new KZ toy hauler.
It is a Sportster 353TH13. It is waiting for the generator to arrive at the dealer so it can be installed and for the dealer to do their other prep. We are hoping that the riots in the Minneapolis area don't slow down the generator delivery too much, I expect it is a concern. We have rented trailers in the past, but this is our first purchase.
We are looking forward to being able to wander around the country, travel to see our grandkids, and to to destinations on our bucket lists.
Cheers to all

Thanks all, Chuck, yup there are lots of rigs at Oshkosh. You should see the EAA grounds on the airport! of course, it is cancelled this summer due to COVID... just need to go other places.
a week from Monday I am having a 50 A plug installed on the outside of my hangar, so we can camp out there! cheers Ken

spamtownken We past the Airport on our way to the camp grounds we were going to, I was amazed an so was the DW as to hundreds of camping trailers, 5th wheels aan DP's of all shapes an sizes The camp grounds we were at had many of the people going over to the show... After we parked a few guys wondered over an ask if we were there for the event, I said know didn't even know about it but was there because DW want to go to a Quilt Store in a small town 20 miles away ...
The guy next to us in a 5th wheel stated he was really mad at me, I ask why he stated you pulled in, pulled forward, backed in an only pulled up once an back in to where you dropped your rig, he said it took him 6 try's to accomplish what I had done in one I had to admit to him that I had driven semi over the road a number of years an 40ft was nothing to 53ft an double trailers
