Hello!

Join us on our quest for the perfect travel trailer to tow behind our 2002 F350 Super Duty and as we start enjoying RV life.

We're Chuck and Paula. We'll be trying to balance keeping our total length under 50 feet while still having enough room in the trailer to move around without tripping over Shasta and Thor, our spoiled German Shepherds.

Two humans and two dogs = Four to Go.

TMI?

I've recently come across some vlogs that have me wondering if it's possible to share too much information with your viewers (or readers). I don't want to get into any specifics because I'm not going to point fingers, but here is my concern: When your RVing story involves someone else in an unflattering way, is it fair or kind to publicly identify them if they don't have a platform of their own where they can respond? I'm not advocating that people not share their honest experiences. I love that transparency, but I think there's a better way than publicly putting a name and face to everyone we encounter. The vlogger (or blogger) has a choice...other people don't. What do you think? Paula

Forest River Wildcat Maxx 26FBS

Image
We recently visited Poulsbo RV 's location in Everett, Washington, and looked at three rear-bath model travel trailers. First up for review is the Wildcat Maxx 26FBS. The Wildcat has an overall length of 29'11" and a dry weight of 6,837 pounds. Kitchen There is decent, but not abundant, counter space. The counters are solid surface and there is a single basin, undermounted stainless steel sink. There is a covered countertop cut out for a trash can. We saw this previously in Lance trailers, but the trash cans were tiny. The Maxx takes it a step further with a full-size kitchen trash can that can be accessed from outside the trailer when it's time to empty it. The three-burner gas range includes a 22" oven, which is huge compared to the 17" oven so many manufacturers are installing. The biggest con in the kitchen is the lack of pantry space and no logical space to store the large bin we'll use for dog food. Yes, we can store it in the bed of the truc...

Dutchmen Kodiak Ultra-Lite 261RBSL

Image
The third trailer we looked at during our visit to Poulsbo RV was the Kodiak 261RBSL. This trailer is 31'0" long and has a dry weight of 5,700 pounds. Kitchen The kitchen is in the corner, against the wall that separates the bedroom from the main area of the trailer. This is a common layout, but this trailer has more counterspace than many other kitchens of this design. The counter is thermofoil wrapped. The undermounted sink was white; I'm not sure what kind of material it was made of. The pantry is directly to the right as you enter the trailer. It provides ample shelf and floor space...a perfect spot for a large bin of dog food and a broom. Because of its placement, it could also be used as a place to store shoes or for coats. Outdoor Kitchen The outdoor kitchen features a small refrigerator and a two-burner cook top, but no sink. Living/Dining The unit we toured had a booth dinette and theater seating. "Theater seating" sounds great, but this ...
