Darn, too bad your halfway across the country. My husband is quiting his living and working on the road and his camper would be perfect for you. It's a 30 footer with about an 8 foot full cargo area in back that he used as a little work shop during rain days. Would be perfect for your rock set up.
Hope things calm down with the family (brother). How frustrating. Why some people are that way is so incomprehensible.

It looks great Sands, but make sure it has room for a computer, camera, Genie, Saw and at least 500 lbs. of rocks or you won't be content. Trish

That looks like a really nice one John, hopefully there's enough room for all your machines. I'd go for a 5th wheel type myself or a regular motor home and pull a small pickup behind. LOL .... lots of ideas I have eh?

Sunline is a good manurfactuere- and that is a graet floorplan- It is a bit small (IMHO) to live in year round (especially as a semi permenant) but you could probably make due! seems like a pretty good price- My first trailer was a 24 ft- similiar layout and a bit older- we paid (with trade in) just under $8000 for it and traded it in 3 years later and got $7000 for it- Our current trailer is almost paid off and we keep thinking about a fifth wheel- But I have a cap on the chevy and we store all our firewood and "dirty gear" (boots and grills and such) in it so I think we are gonna stick with the trailer for a while! If the dealership will let you- try staying in it for a couple of nights- Just to get a feel for the size- Looks are very decieving with travel trailers!

Sands, you will indeed be welcome. I even have room to park in my yard! If you come, bring Mark. We will have some laughs, grind some stones, and just meet each other up front. You will like the rough ride after a while. The rough ride makes longer trips less fatigueing. You come on down, back into my other yard, and see the sights. We be not too far from Tampa.
