Default New trailer, looking to full time in a couple of years...

after a couple of extended trips with the Avion 34V (35' travel trailer) we decided it would not work for full-timing with us, 2 dogs, a small parrot, a guitar and then the ham radio station. So we put it up for sale and it went with the first one to look at it at full price.

We have since found a 2008 Carriage Cameo 35SB3 with we will pick up soon. Before we take the trailer on the road, the 16" wheels are being replaced with 4 new 17.5" wheels and Goodyear G114, load range H tires.

Then I get to start all over figuring how to put the radio into the trailer. I picked up a Jetstream JTV680 vertical (like the Comet CHA 250B). A couple of hams I now said they were using it and it does OK.

I will take the Little Tarheel II and replace the ATAS 120 on the truck. I also plan to carry a fiberglass push up pole and a short Carolina Windom 80 OCF dipole to put up when we will be some place that will let me.

The trailer is taller than the storage shed we have at the house and it cost too much to have the roof raised, so we will store it off site for a while.

I'll post some photos as soon as we get it here and "moved in".
