How to convince wife???

[Fireman78]

Just wondering if anybody who owns an Adventure Trailer had any problems convincing the wife to get one vrs.....say....a standard trailer or pop-up. We are finally in the market for a "camper", and of course I want a Chaser, she wants a Pop-Up or hardsided camper. How can I seal the deal???

Compromise and get a King Kamper?

Ask her if she wants to be stuck in crowded established campgrounds 100 yards from the highway, or if she wants to get into the woods and explore. That is our deal sealer. Plus the fact that you can't get a new Fleetwood for under 11k helps as well. What do you have to pull it with?

Show her pictures of happy families in remote locations camping with their off-road trailers!

For my wife, it was all about sleeping off the ground and having a nice port-a-potty and shower for longer stays.

I may have taken advantage of that and acquired a few more comfort items that weren't on the original list of requirements.

Happy wife:

We had a popup for 6 years and just got rid of it for an AT Chaser. As mentioned above if all you want to do is go to established camp sites then get the pop up style camper. However after 6 years we got sick of doing that. They are crowded for the most part and we found ourselves wanted more privacy. After our last Labor Day trip it took us a few hours to clear camp, in the rain, then once home we had to open up the popup to dry it out and then unpack some more. It is sort of a pain in the butt. After we were done the wife said, "this is too hard and this sucks." I said, "Want to sell it and get an AT?" She said, "sure." The standard campers are nice and have tons of comfy features but the construction on them is really shoddy for what you pay. Compared to an AT the loading and unloading of them is a pain in the butt. The AT is so easy to get into while in the garage and it can really go just about any place. The construction is beyond top notch and the customer service is truely at a level I have NEVER seen anywhere! The AT can go anywhere a popup can and everywhere a popup can not go. If you plan on going anywhere off the beaten path I'd really push for an AT.

I'll have some interesting news for you after our movie night this Saturday. We have a new trailer concept to release, prototype is in the building stage, hopefully in production in June.
