We are in our new home! And we love it! It is so spacious…compared to our truck camper 🙂 We’ve gone from about 140 sq. ft. to about 200 sq. ft.- 40% more space! and full headroom in the sleeping area, and tons more storage, and quadruple the window space. WOO HOO! We are living ever so large! This rig is an Outdoor RV Timber Ridge 24rks travel trailer- 24ft long inside, 29 ft long outside including the hitch. So, we are much longer, but this rig is designed for four season, off road traveling.

This is a link to see pics of the new rig:

And here are some pics of the odd rig- the Eagle Cap truck slide-in camper:

It took us a very long day to do the swap- from “orientation”, to configuring the hitch, to paperwork and then moving all of our stuff from one rig to the other- trying to find the right spot in the new rig-lots of re-shuffling to be done in the days ahead.
Oh, and Rhylee? Well, he has been a real trooper. He took a nap in the new rig the day before we moved, and we bought him a new bed, too. During the move he couldn’t figure out which camper he should be in, but frequently crawled under the table of the new one and took a nap- the boy is happy so long as he can keep tabs on the two of us!
October 10th, 7am, 10 degrees outside!!! WHAT? It was 15degrees at 10pm. The forecast was for a low of 24! The campground water was already frozen up, but we had water on board, now very cold water. We ran the heat a little higher than normal all night- it runs through the floor, which kept the water lines and tanks from freezing. This rig is supposed to be 4 Season…we shall see as the day warms up and we see if anything froze and broke. This is CRAZY!
