My new cottage

[3db]

Life has had me really occupied these last 4 or 6 weeks and there is no sign of letting up. My g/f and I of now 3 years have decided to go down to one sight on the campground so this necessitated in finding a travel trailer with 1.5 bathrooms as we had a couple of close calls because we both suffer from IBS, hers much worse than mine. Found 3 trailers that might fit, one turned out to be too tight if we had our respective families visiting, the other I found out later is a model with that suffers from excessive frame flex and there is a class action lawsuit against teh company for that model. That was a close call as I had a hold deposit down on it that was later refunded as I told him I wasn't interested. The last one I was interested in was 1044km round trip to Niagra Falls. I ended up buying it as it checked off everything we were looking for in our trailer. Thankfully, the company offers free delivery and setup.

Here are some outside shots.

I bought this shed from a fellow camper who was pulling out of the campground.

Looks a very nice trailer. Just curious if you considered a lake side cottage, which would be an appreciating asset and not a depreciating asset?

That looks like one fancy mobile living room.

A very far cry from the truckbed camper that I got hauled around in as a kid many years ago.

Congrats on the aquisition.

If I had the funds to buy one, certainly. That was not lost on me but taxes on cottages here in Ontario is very expensive so I did the next best thing within my budget.

That makes sense. Real estate taxes are bad everywhere, and seem to have huge hikes every year.

We really enjoyed our lake home for the 20 years we had it. They are a lot of work though and we sold it at the right time.

I like it!

I have a cottage, but trailers also appeal to me. I've visited some RV parks where everyone seems to know each other and people wander about and socialize around the campfires at night.
