New Travel Trailer

Posted

The Wife and I ended up getting a new TT this past week. Our 18CK (22') was getting a little too small on rainy days, and cold mornings with 3 rug rats. We got a Outdoors RV Creekside 26BKS (29') with a 12' slide and bunk beds. Should be a great trailer for the family. We spend 95% of the day outside when camping, but for that other 5% the room will be very handy. The main reason we decided to upgrade is that our 2007 Pioneer is still worth about 90% of what we paid for it in 2007 (got a screaming deal) and we got the 26BKS about 35% off MSRP. It has some great features, 12' Slide, 4 Seasons, HD axles, lots of ground clearance, plenty of storage for my 4 girls, etc Is it camping season yet? http://www.outdoorsrvmfg.com/creekside/model.php?id=40 http://www.outdoorsrvmfg.com/images/rsync/2011/brochures/CreekSide-Web.pdf http://www.outdoorsrvmfg.com/images/rsync/2011/brochures/WelcomeFeaturesCS.pdf http://www.outdoorsrvmfg.com/images/rsync/2011/brochures/OutdoorToughFeaturesCS.pdf http://www.outdoorsrvmfg.com/images/rsync/2011/brochures/CreekSideFlyer.pdf

Come on now... We need to see pictures of it hitched up ot the Dodge at least...:piwwp:Congrads on the the new trailer... You'll love the extra room. For me to upgrade from a 20' dodge Jamboree Motorhome to a 30' Jayco trust me the extra few feet really do add up. As for camping season... It started snowing again... :cry:

Just looking at your pic you trailer is very simular to mine body wise. But I know the interior is way different since my kitchen is in the rear of the trailer.I got to admit the trailer looks good dragging behind the Cummins... :thumb1:More pictures... :drool:

Yeah looks good hooked up, now I need to paint the rims black to match :hyper:

  • Owner

I need to give mine a some kylon tune up to the frame... It might be a neat idea to freshen the rim paint. :smart:I'm curious of your reports on your new TT. Any flaws, battery life? Propane? Etc... Then hear about mods that you might do... I need some ideas... :whistle:

I try to hit the frame with Rustoleum at least once a season and at the end, I think it helps.

  • Owner

I did that too... I need a few more can and crawl under it and shoot some more difficult spots and treat some spots and control the rust from starting. :rolleyes:Thing is I've been hanging around a bunch of RV forums... Boy some guys can really spend some money on toys and such. I'm hoping to hear from you and some your ideas that are simple and down home.

Not too many mods planned as of yet, thou there will be a few :-)I stared working on my high pressure propane setup last night (puts 2 1" high pressure ports under the awning for cooking/lanterns). On my 18CK I had a couple of valves to select the tank, but the 26BKS came with one of Type 1 ACME connections with a 1" "T" and I think I'll just mod my current high pressure hose for that setup. I plan on adding the Dexter EZ ride's to the suspension, and possibly the Monroe Shock retrofit kit. I had a Class III receiver on my 18CK, and will probably end up with one on this camper too.

I want to see more of the propane setup... Mom and I are taking about more outdoor cooking and portable propane stoves that allow you to cook outdoors instead of inside where it gets rather warm on a hot summers day.

I do nearly all of my cooking outside. I have a table with a Coleman stock and a propane BBQ. It work's well, I'll get some photos. I am seriously thinking of ditching the 2 burner Coleman for a 3 burner camp chef, now that I have the room.
