Have fun, I camped out there one year. I was disappointed they changed the dates this year.
Its hugely disappointing that my local ren fest doesnt allow overnight parking
Awesome user name! This beast looks like a classic; would you share more info and specs on it?
We are at SWFF too! Class A Itasca in Claw camp.
Oh what a sweety. Good camping buddy right there

Awenda is awesome!
Awenda is a fantastic park!
Oh nice, that was on my list to do this year :).
Dude that is a badass setup
Yes I second the setup. Very nice! I must know the specs as I’m considering upgrading my tow vehicle. I have a 2016 f150 2.7 liter with 7600 capacity and a 30 ft Catalina that weighs 6200 dry.
Regarding Booking a Site…I have heard that the happiest campers are not the ones with the Air Streams but the ones with the Fastest Internet.

Went a few months ago. Only part that was disappointment is that we couldn’t figure out how to slide fast
My first trip this year is Elephant Butte…. This is inspiring trip #2! ????????
We were there a few years ago on one of the few days it snowed! Very little white sand to be seen but about two inches of snow. Coming from Canada we weren’t impressed. Looking forward to seeing it again sometime.
It’s so lovely there. We got a sled and stuff. When we left, we saw a bunch of them in the dumpster. We kept ours so we could use it again next time we visit!
I was disappointed to find no reference to Boys II Men in the info video they show about White Sands in that Visitor Center building.

I was a truck driver then I full timed in a travel trailer for 7 years with my dog. Miss it so much I just got a class B and we’re hitting the road again.
There’s a learning (and comfort) curve. You’re going to be nervous at first and you will almost definitely question your decision in those first weeks. Stick to it and push through those moments. You’ll eventually get into a groove and become much more comfortable with the lifestyle. The real fun begins once you’re confident in what you’re doing, which just takes time. This is a huge adjustment!
With that said, the VAST majority of full timers absolutely love the lifestyle.
I don’t know what kind of dog you have, but your dog will love it. Just make sure your dog is up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick meds. The small space isn’t an issue at all if you’re giving your dog enough walks and exercise. If your dog sheds, that’ll be the biggest issue. Small spaces collect dog hair fast. I have a high shedding lab so I brush him almost daily and vacuum often.
Most of my friends and family are jealous of my dog. He’s been coast to coast. He’s swam in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf shores. He’s chased squirrels in the Appalachians, Ozarks, Rockies, deserts, forests, etc. We’ve been to state parks, national monuments, and my favorite – tiny unknown beautiful places in the middle of nowhere free from tourists. He’s seen the nicest trails, been to the best dog parks/beaches, gets to meet tons of interesting people and other dogs, and of course gets to be with me 24/7. Most humans should be so fortunate.
You and your dog are going to love this. It’s perfectly natural to be nervous and you’ll have an adjustment period for sure, but you’ll be in a groove in no time.
Happy trails and happy tails!
You have your dog with you so nothing to be nervous about.
Enjoy! Nice RV
There’s this point on the road where that anxiety about your new life turns into that feeling of joy that you get as soon as you jump out of a plane. I’ve been living the nomad life for 3 years now. After being in a place for a while, both of those feelings come back to me when it’s time to head far away and try somewhere new.
I hit the road for a year in my SUV with the goal of camping most of the time. I miss that time so much. There was an agenda (hit as many national parks as I could). It was life changing and sometimes it takes a ton of effort to not just pack up the SUV and tent and hit the road again. Your setup… might have meant I never came back. I almost want to sell it all and do what you are doing. Be safe, happy travels. Keep us updated.
I’m just back from 3 months of traveling FL just me and my dog . You’ll have long conversations with your pup
I had one about the same size. I downsize to a tiny truck camper. You’ll have fun. All that space is luxurious, but expensive for gas.

My neighbors called zoning on me for parking a 30ft class A in the back yard. Its not against the law where I live to do so. Now I park it in the front yard for two week at a time to get under their skin now that I know it bothers them.
Lazy Daze – nice! Our first RV was a 1991 22′ Front Lounge.
Reading the comments, y’all need better neighbors!
If my neighbours had that I’d be staring at it because I’m jealous – not calling bi law to complain. Neighbours can be the worst.
I love the paint scheme! Nice rig
Fellow Lazy Daze owner here. Nice! Also love mine because it fits in our driveway.

That’s very nice. We had some peel and stick in ours. Unfortunately we didn’t store the RV in a climate controlled garage, so it ended up falling off.
what brand is this?
That looks great. Nice color combo
I love that! I nearly bought the same for our travel trailer!
Looks great!

Wanted this for my bathroom. Hubby said no…..we got something else. It looks fine, but I really wanted this one….

Nice! Any idea what your exact tow cap/payload is on your Platinum? I bought one recently and it stated 7200lbs tow and 1200 payload on the inside of the door, which I thought was super low for a 5.7l
Looks like you may need some airbags
Nice setup. I just bought that same truck. I pick it up today.

Just bought this old gal. Incredible condition considering the age and price I paid. I’m going to be living in it full time for the next while. Any tips with this model, or winter RV living are appreciated!
Hell yeah! Keep on keeping on!
This looks just like the model I bought as my first camper. Enjoy it!
Double check your roof seams and window seams. Run flex seal or lap sealant around all fixtures at the top!
Sweet, enjoy!
Nice! Gives me hope to one day get myself an affordable yet comfortable rig.
My brother got one of these for his first trailer. Previous owner didn’t dump the tank and he drove it from pickup to his first excursion for a couple hours. Got to the campsite to realize the sink stoppers were not installed… Very ripe inside????

How is Cracker Barrel with overnights?
RVParky is a great free app (on Android, not sure on iOS) that will show you Cracker barrel, WalMart, etc in the area and will show if they allow overnight parking, along with reviews. We love it. If traveling and get tired, though perhaps not where we had planned cause of traffic issues or whatever, we can open that app, click on “search near me” and it pulls up a list. Filters can be set to exclude locations that don’t allow overnight parking or exclude over 55 campgrounds for those still under 55 years old. Overall an awesome app with no ads and is free. Built by an RVer for RVers. When they made enough money from selling the ad-free version to pay for the build, they eliminated the ad version and began giving away the ad-free version.
Serious question for OP: Did you have to do any crazy weight calculations before flat-towing the Jeep? (It looks like that’s what you’re doing) My wife and I want to get a cheap vehicle to flat-tow behind our Daybreak 22GOF, but we haven’t delved deeply into the GVWR specifics yet. Our RV is packed with a good bit of stuff, so I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing your experience/how you got set up. Also, now I’m craving biscuits and gravy from Cracker Barrel. 🙂
I’m from Montana, and am not quite sure what this is. :-/

Top board is 5/8 plywood cut with a 3/4 inch over hang; And a scrap piece of carpet tacked to it. Flip side I screwed 3 strips of plywood to frame in the steps. That way it kinda sets in and doesn’t wiggle. Slightly roll the carpet over and tack. I Used a remnant sheet of plywood, 6 door hinge screws for the strips and a scrap piece of carpet, All that was laying around the garage.

I would with airbags and a slider hitch, but not full time.
What do the specs say? My guess would be Payload is going to be your limiting factor. Power wise, that truck can do it. Braking wise, with trailer brakes set properly, probably not an issue. But payload, assuming 20% pin weight, passengers, etc…you are probably over.
Would I…short distance to get it set up, sure. For the long haul, nope.
Hell no
Nope. Payload limits will kill you. That is marginal for a 3/4 ton, totally out of payload capacity for that 1/2 ton.
Should you?
Definitely not.
I don’t have that much gas money.

I’ve had some pretty good driveway camping trips. Enjoy!
Get a back up camera if you don’t have one already. One of my best upgrades.
Wow, very nice! I pulled the trigger this morning on a 19FD! We can’t pick it up til next week. My question is, what items are provided by the dealer, generally? I want to purchase from Amazon instead of paying dealer prices
Very cool! Congratulations! I hope you and your family make wonderful memories in your trailer.
Use your driveway camp out as a time to make a list of the things you might need to outfit it and make sure you know how everything works. Figuring those things out in the driveway is better than realizing you really need something when you’re out in the middle of nowhere.
Awesome! We love our Geo Pro. Pulling it from storage tomorrow to de-winterize and prep for our first weekend outing! Have a blast!
Congratulations! We’ve had the GeoPro 19BH for two seasons and love it. The only thing i wanted to share with you (in case you have the solar panel version), if you have too many things plugged in, you will “trip the solar breaker” (not sure if this is the correct technical term). For instance, if you have multiple high electricity items plugged in, and the power “goes out”, you may naturally check the breakers under the fridge and re-set those. Well, if that doesn’t work, you will have to re-set the solar breaker. For us (2019 model), it is found under the dining table bench closest to the bunk beds. You will have to remove the cushion, unscrew the wood panel, and then underneath you will find a switch. You will have to flick that to reset it to restore your power. This is quite silly that nobody tells you this.
Our first trip out on a long weekend, we had a heater and a toaster plugged in, and then we lost power and none of our outlets worked anymore. Tried everything and nothing worked. Finally took it in for servicing when we got back thinking we got a defective unit and finally got a technician to tell us what the problem was and how to resolve it. Very disappointed nobody told us this during the walk through and it seems to happen quite often.
Fun!

Those window treatments are the worst, good move.
And the quality design & workmanship they put in at the factory doesn’t end with the window valances.
I did the same on all of mine. I hate the odd amount of unnecessary upholstery you find in an RV. There is a wall in my bedroom that still has super thin cushions with a flower print held on with screws and brackets and I’m just like…. why? I’m supposed to clean my wall with a freaking carpet cleaner and shop vac?
How did you go about finding a bigger window and then installing it?
such a small change for such a big difference! i can’t stand the stock rv window treatments – literally haven’t seen a single one i like, even on the newer modern-style rigs.

Keep using it. Our cast iron griddle like yours is finally butter smooth and rarely needs scraping clean. Usually it’s just a wipe with a few paper towels now.
I don’t know if this is official how to care for cast iron. But I let my dogs clean it after it cools. I rinse, place on burner, turn it on to evap water/sanitize and then slather some grape seed oil on it.
Granted, this probably makes ppl cringe and reddit cast iron will probably freak out.
“Cash Iron”. Lol that’s a good name for it since they are so expensive.

Beautiful. Have you towed that cruise light many miles? We’ve had our 241qbxl for just over a year. We’ve mostly done local trips (within two hours of home) to state and national forests. We’ve done one trip that was about 6 hours each way. But were planning to escape the UP once the snow melts and mud season begins. We’ll be towing 3k+ miles or so through April and may with long weekends on either end to get away from home/cold and back home of about 1200 miles. Hoping the rig handles it ok.
Imagine that! A place where there isn’t still snow on the ground. Looking forward to the spring thaw!

Wife and I had a 91′ Fleetwood Flair – the cheaper version of the bounder.
That tank was rock-solid. We got her in terrible condition after a tree strike, redid the roof. Other then that tree damage – she was rock solid the entire time she was ours. Any problems were super easy to fix and it was just an all around joy to drive and own.
If it’s built on a chevy chassis, you’ll need the chevy chassis code to find parts. The magic number for your searching is “Chevrolet P30 Step Van” or P31 (P30 is the “bread truck chassis” which 99.9999999% of parts match for and was super common truck in the 90’s. P31 is the subcode for motorhome chassis, but this model number is much less prevalent in auto parts catalogs.)

Pry off the cap in the middle. Hose screws into there. The spinning part helps you attach hose. If you don’t already have a 90 degree adapter, you will want one. Takes weight off hose.

What make and model is this travel trailer?
What do you do for consistent internet?
Very nice. Do you have any type of UPS or power conditioner for your systems inside the RV?
Is that a slide out or the rear of the RV?
Do you have to disconnect and hide all that when moving or do you plan to bolt it down to the table?
I’m smelling a day trading setup here.
The park is laid out great and your not on top of each other. They are building a new pool and other amenities that will be done by spring. It’s also the closest to the park on the townsend side. This is the much quieter side of the park but still close to the attractions.
Is that a little fence for your kids?
Can you tell me why? We plan to head that way in the summer
How is the alpha wolf? I am thinking about upgrading this spring.
We’re staying in the park at Elkmont in early June. Hopefully there will be some fireflys then.
Just make sure you don’t leave food out… Unless you want visitors. We were there in September and got to see Smokey go from site to site rummaging through anything that was left out. I didn’t know bears were so agile but this guy jumped from a deck to a tree and slid down it.
What’s the “screaming uncontrolled kids to grumpy old farts” ratio?

I did that many years ago in a 3Axle 40’ Teton, I left Oklahoma in a F350 dually and after navigating a bunch of those mountains and almost being blown off the road in California cross winds, I came back home in a FREIGHTLINER!!! Be careful, I have a Dodge Ram 6.7 2500 and that size trailer is going to walk around on you especially in some of those crosswinds… Btw Redwood forest is a must see! AND Make sure all the parks you try to go to are big rig friendly before you get there because we had a lot of difficulty with that as well in our 3 axle. Happy Trails!
Valley of Fire NV! Must see! There are full hookup sites there too.
Can you take more than two weeks? Honestly, you could take two weeks just driving to California with all the things to do.
Why didn’t you get the big one?

100% this. We have everything in sealed containers including pet food/treats, tea/ coffee, etc and also in high up sealed cabinets.
I initially read that as making up for it with pizzas, which is also acceptable.
Looks very cozy!
Absolutely adorable!
That is the way to live, friend.
Next place I move won’t be windy everyday and I’ll be able to do shit like that again.
I love this! We’re currently saving up for a Micro Minnie. Do you like it?
I like that table. Looks higher than a normal Rubbermaid type. Where did you get that?

Blue Ridge Lake? I stayed there last year and loved it!
As an FYI for you and others. Check the Georgia WMA (wildlife management area) GA has a ton of them and many have free camping. Granted it’s dry camping. There is We were down there a couple of weeks ago to pick up one dog from training and drop off the other.
While we were there we checked out the one in the Di Lane WMA.
Nice camper!
52F, 32% humidity and sunny in Morganton Georgia.
72F, ~80% humidity in Tampa, FL.
I really don’t know why everyone stays on I-75 all the way to FL
We love Morganton! Got a couple trips planned there this year. Have a great time!
Morganton point?
If you have time drive to Blue Ridge and go get an apple fritter at Mercier Orchards. They’re divine. There’s also a little wine shop in downtown called Out of the Blue. They sell the most amazing goat cheese (if you’re into that sort of thing) and the owner is hilarious.

Nice! Can’t wait to get our out on the road soon.

Love it there! Are you there for a race?

That picture is awesome!
Wow that is a gorgeous shot????

Cool. Didn’t realize there was anyplace in SC you could still drive on the beach.
That short video in your profile is just a fucking tease. We need an inside, in detail tour
Sweet!
Hell yeah man! Badass!
Come to Texas, you can camp overnight on nearly all of our beaches!
What is your rig? It’s interesting…..
I really like this rig’s looks. Low key but still unique.
Be safe out there, glad you could find a way to work through it.
Quartzsite?
This gives me hope we can hit the road someday with my cat. He doesn’t do well with cars but I’m hoping he will adjust with time.
I think you stole my late cat! Identical markings, what’s it’s name?
Is your cat brave enough to sit up there when driving?
Mine was only brave enough to do it once the first day, then she hid in the back all the time. 🙁
I see more and more RV kitty cats on our travels, love it!

Just a suggestion, but if errant drips are an issue, you can run a piece of string down the center line and dangle it down to the sink, it should draw all the drips down the string instead of wherever they fall … probably.
This is what I come to this sub for!! Looks great!
Very nice. Matches your cool bread box 🙂
OMG! Our tiny flat in Venice had one of those over the sink and I just adored it. I wish my cabinets in the trailer allowed that.
Looks really clean.
Sorry …new dad. I’ll see myself out.
This is brilliant

Did you… bring it up to them? You noticed, and took the time for a picture. You know its wrong, maybe they didnt?
The chains?
Listen if they don’t know that’s wrong they shouldn’t be towing.
Source: Saw this on a unit southbound from the OEM. You’re not in THAT much of hurry.
Did you connect the table to the wall yourself? I’ve been wanting my husband to do something like that since we took our dinette out, but he’s afraid to mess up the wall.
Here’s to the first of many for you!

Are you full time stationary? We are atm.
That setup looks like heaven.

Wow where are you? I want some!
Beautiful
I’m impressed with the view. I go stir crazy after about 7 days being stationary. Great looking setup though.

Love white on white rigs. Just looks clean
I’m wanting to upgrade to an F150, I’d be curious which engine/towing features you have? Nice trailer!
Quite the good looking trailer.
That’s a whole lot of trailer for a half ton, but it looks nicely leveled. I also have an F150. What upgrades have you done on your suspension (shocks, level kit, air bags, leafs, etc)? Also what WDH are you using?
This looks remarkably similar to my 2020 Passport 2950BH, other than the black truck, which also looks great towing it.
So, let’s see it set up for camping!
Excellent setup. Enjoy!

How about re-chroming your existing hubcaps?
Livening up those wheels will make your trailer look vintage and cool instead of just old. It’s a great idea! Although I have no idea where to get them.
Those are just Baby Moons, you can get them anywhere
Amazon has a few. Not knowing what size and all, I can’t say if they are the correct ones, but you might try.
I dig the hell outta that
I’ll bet! That’s a sweet first RV!
What is it? Looks amazing, any interior photos?
Nice what model of leisure travel vans is this?
What model is it?
Safe travels fellow traveller.
2200 mile maiden voyage is a brave move. You brought tools?
No shakedown trip first? Gutsy.
Good luck!
We love our 25BRDS! Enjoy!
Have fun! Thats a good trailer and the 25BRDS is a great layout. We made our maiden voyage towing it with an F150 for about 8k miles, WA-VT-WA.
Which floor plan is that?
From where to where?

Beautiful. Is that Gilbert Ray campground?
Ours was near Kingman, AZ 🙂
What a view! Wish I were in a spot like that right about now…
Just went through here the other day, I’d say the most beautiful place I’ve seen so far. Still in Arizona cause of it. 😀
I will be there in two days! Can’t Wait!
I’ve been there a few times. I love Tucson. My uncle has a ranch in Sonoita on the other side of the mountains.
Looks like a beautiful view, and you’re close to a WaterCell. 😀
A back door, that is really cool, what model is that, I Googled it but couldnt find any with the back door.
Haha. I did exactly that with our 16bhs for about 4 months when covid started. Enjoyed it so much I built an office in the garage. Team wfh forever!

If you are always on shore power, you should need to keep 0 batteries.
I love this and it brought back memories of seeing an airstream with a mermaid painted on the side in Grand Tetons 25+ years ago. I was working at Yellowstone NP in a gift shop for $5/hour but living in dorms at old faithful and hiking all the time.
When I saw the airstream back then, I thought wouldn’t that be great to live out here in all this natural beauty and just keep it simple?
Here you are doing exactly that! I’m sure there are a lot of people that see this and get inspired to try a different way where they can be happier, spend more time in nature and not get stuck in the 9 to 5 in some city just working to pay rent.
Gorgeous photo!
This is the dream!

Air bags? Was that the suspension upgrade?
I bought a new truck that had the big tires like this. After towing my 5th wheel only a few times, I dumped the big tires and got regular heavy duty tires. It was like driving with 4 balloons as wheels.
I know it is recommended that a bumper pull is level but what about a fifth?
Nice rig man!!
LIVING THE DREAM
That is amazing. I’m so happy.
Isn’t a 3500 already overkill? What kind of upgrade was needed from there?
Yeah I’m gonna need some interior pics. Congratulations on your new purchase! Beautiful unit!
We stumbled upon this beauty. It had the floor plan we were looking for and was in excellent condition for a 2017. So we brought her home.
She is a beaut! Happy camping!
Nice!! Time for a big truck!!
Awesome!

If I may ask, Why such a large truck?
… and I thought I was cool with my 1ton truck…
Does the truck have a generator on board? We have a class A but I briefly considered something like a topkick 5500 or f-550 with a genset onboard plus a 5th wheel.

I can see picacho peak from my front yard! It’s like a 30 minute drive away but I can see it. Such a beautiful pic!
Hello Neighbor, currently boondocking about an hour away.
I thought for a moment they’d named a state park after Pokémon.
Nice sunset…I miss AZ sometimes.
… not in the summer though.
Beautiful!!!!
Nice. Well done. Very populated, but holy shit that sky is breathtaking. That cacti is like icing on the cake.

Deciding to hit the road at 10am with two kids. 5yo and 2yo, while mom is working, NOT ADVISED! But we did it and at least the kids had fun. Nice having a State Park an hours drive away. In my rush to get out the door, forgot A LOT of essentials but on a 24 trip, it worked out. Makes me really appreciate all the little things my wife does to get us ready when I’m messing with the rig.
It’s the best! We ran Christmas lights all around the top of our camper for this past Christmas, and loved them so much we kept them up.

Nice looking coach. Guessing it is about a 27ft with a slid out? Do let us know how you like it once you are living in it.
Good luck! We have a 2010 Greyhawk 31FS and its been great for us. The length hasn’t stopped us from getting anywhere yet, and the extra room is appreciated on those rainy days.
We’ve got a 2009 grey hawk 28qb, love it!! It’s slightly smaller; 30 feet no slide. It’s been the absolute best thing we bought aside from our house.
Congratulations on going full time Rving

Hey that’s a beautiful rig…we’ve got one that looks like her twin. ‘90 Allegro Diesel Pusher.

One of the many joys of boondocking! Looking good.
Extra insulation.
is that a sepia filter?
We camped up in the mountains in Colorado a few years ago, and on the way way out we were behind a good-sized cattle drive for 3 or 4 miles.
That was the day I REALLY wished I had mud flaps.
The Huskys are good. Like the long bed????
Damn, just moved boondocking spots and everything was filthy but you’ve got it much worse.
Hey OP I have a similar trailer and we’re boondocking in AZ, I’m really tempted go North to see some snow just worried about my holding tanks. How are you doing it?I saw your 12 degrees post.

You have an RV and yet your sink and spout are 10x nicer than the vast majority of sinks in actual homes, at least in the U.S.
We need to stop making things crappy /half-assing things for income. Let the nice sink revolution begin!
This is cozy looking. Full time living in it or like guest house / camper?

Time for interior pics!
You mention the immaculate interior and don’t post pics? You tease.
One of our biggest regrets is getting rid of the one we had. It was beautiful.
Nice post some inside pix , may I ask how much ya spent on it ?
You can’t just mention the in-your-opinion immaculate interior and not post any pics of the interior!
It’s the third law of the conversation of reddit: if OP mentions something visual in OP’s post’s description, there will need to be a picture or photo accompanying the post.

Pretty awesome so far!
What will the 300W power for you, and for how long?
It’s up there. But won’t stay long.

Taking energy from the sun is probably one of the most selfish things a human could do. But, it is baller af so respect.
