Nancy, again, it's beautiful! I keep seeing "bumper pull." Is that a nickname for a trailer? Or is it something more specific? I haven't given TT's their due because it would require buying a different car/truck AND learning to tow. Maybe when I get more comfortable driving a C... who knows? It's all just practice for the next upgrade, right?

Okay, typing smaller here so maybe Travelinana won't notice. Tucker is a 3-year old shit-tzu/yorkie mix who weighs only 5 pounds. I bought him as a 10-week old puppy a year after leaving my marriage. He's been the best thing for my recovery (Tucker, not the husband.) He's missing a lot of the annoying small dog traits because of some really good training in his 1st year. Honestly, I was the one being trained, not he, on what NOT to let him get away with. RVing has an extra appeal because he can join me.

Nancy, I think your thread has gone to the dog! Ha!

Looks like a very comfy trailer! Should work out very well for you in your new adventures on the road!

Ellen - a bumper pull is a trailer that is pulled on a hitch on or below the bumper, similarly to how a boat is pulled. I pull a bumper pull trailer that's less than 20' long with a 16' box on it. A fifth wheeler is a trailer that is pulled with the large hitch in the bed of the pickup - similar to a goose neck trailer.

And Welcome to the forum, by the way!


Hey Soos, you're on my thread talking about that cute little dog...you're supposed to be telling me how you love Lady Bird :roll:[/quote]

I thought I had already commented about how neat Lady Bird is, Nancy, but when I went back to find my post---NOT THERE!----so sorry! Maybe on the other forum, ORS? Anyway, I do love it and can't wait to see it! I especially like the rear with those chairs and the table!

And thought Tucker's name was Trucker, Ellen----sorry about that! Was not wearing my dollar-store reading glasses at the time!

I'm beginning to feel like Mitch :? :D I agree that Tucker is a real cutie. He will be a hit at his first gtg.

I even noticed your picture, but I was afraid it'd be creepy commenting since supposedly I'm new here. But the rig is fantabulous!! (And I like her name. :) )
