I am all about having & enjoying trailers...who says you can't camp in your back yard?
Nancy, just think of all the more stuff you could collect...for your itty bitty home... 
oh & by-the-by,,,In the June issue of Oprah's magazine there will be a little article about "Sisters on the Fly" group. With some great pics of our adventures....[:D]

buy a trailer dolly/hand truck ($49.00 at Harbor freight stores)..and take it with you so if you get to a campsite that is a bit percarious you just un-hitch from your vehicle & hook the hand dolly to the trailer hitch & push it into the camp site. I can move my 16ft Scotty this way, anything larger and ya might need some help.
Wow! We need one of these for our little pop-up. Where we park it - we have to unhitch and push it back into the space when we get home. A hand truck would make the job so much easier!
Thanks!

Grace - It's been a long time since I chatted with you about this, but I STILL don't know how to back mine up. I'll have a lesson one day.

They also sell these 'yellow tennis balls attached to telescoping wands' that magnetically attach to the ball hitch on your tow vehicle and on the tongue receiver of your trailer, to help you line up as you back up to connect your vehicle to the trailer hitch....comes in handy when you are by yourself trying to hook-up.
$19 and handy....also at Harbot Freight.

oh Ann, never fear, one day it will just 'click' and you'll "Show No fear" when backing up...or you can do like a lot of us gals do,,,buy a trailer dolly/hand truck ($49.00 at Harbor freight stores)..and take it with you so if you get to a campsite that is a bit percarious you just un-hitch from your vehicle & hook the hand dolly to the trailer hitch & push it into the camp site.

Grace,
What cute things you have found! I would love to decorate a little camper, its like having a play house like when I was little, I was always adding thing and making new curtains etc. You girls must have just the best times on your glamping trips.

Here in Texas we are already having some good camping days. I have been asking my husband for a couple of weedends and there is always something else he has to do. So, if the weather is nice in a couple of weeks I am going to just pack every thing up, make the reservation, and hope he can come with me.

Ann - neither of our vehicles are in conditions to pull trailers so we've decided if we want one now it will have to be a motorhome. A motorhome will also let us pull a small trailer with toys in it. The man is currently rebuilding a 3-wheeler he got for $100 and he plans on finding me a 4-wheeler to play on. We don't plan to get a huge motorhome, just a good starter one.

Good luck on your search Tammy. Ours is a mini Winnebago, but a travel trailer, not a motorhome. There can be some great finds on craigslist. My husband is always searching - just in case there is something too good to pass up. Good thing I don't have a big barn! Enjoy the RV Camper show.

We're currently looking for a motorhome glamper that we can get cheap and redo. I'm so excited. I have about 5 that are listed on Craigslist right now that we might go check out this weekend. We're also going to the RV Camper show this weekend in Novi, MI. Always fun to attend and dream over. I'm so excited that we might have a camper this year instead of a tent to camp in :O)

You are getting me in the mood. I have a lot of work to do on my glamper as soon as it gets a little warmer than -20 outside.
