Travel Trailers

A part of me wants to get one of the tear drop trailers to tow behind my little car and go places for a weekend alone.

Last summer the wife and I started to really think about a travel trailer. We would leave up at the Chain so we could spend our wknds on the boat since we have 45-60min drive up to the lake. The only issue is our current marina which we like does not allow travel trailers, only park models ( which we do not want since they are harder to sell if needed). Like mentioned before the cost of new Vs used I can't see buying anything but new. You do get what you pay for and appliances for these trailers are fricken expensive. You don't go to Sears/Best buy to buy a fridge or washer dryer. Here is the trailer we have had our eyes on, and once we find a marina we like that allows travel trailers we may pull the trigger.

Thats what drives me nuts about those teardrops... 20k for that teardrop, or for 4k more you get that huge ass one Cobraski posted.

Makes no damn sense.

ever considered buying a lot up there and parking whatever the hell you want on it?

off of fox lake rd and 12, there's someone with a lot and a travel trailer parked, boat docked out back on the channel. I don't know what a dinky lot costs though. And, you can eventually build on it for a "real" weekend home

I'd think it's more of whats in style, tear drops are very popular because of this whole hipster/minimalist movement, not many people our age are buying big brodozers that hurt mother nature and then a giant trailer to burn all the fuels with.

There's a ton of videos out there of people building their own teardrops, not much to them really if you have the room to do all the work..

We have, one thing to consider after the purchase of the trailer is on average it's 3-5k a year paid to marina to keep trailer there, which includes electric, water and pumps out(usually) ideally a house off the water would be best but we couldn't swing two houses. Moving up to lake would make my commute to work a nightmare working in the city. I haven't seen to many empty lots that are off the water where I would be able to keep my boat. Also, would need water and electric.

I think that RV show is this weekend at mccormick ?

The RV show will also be in Schaumburg as well if I recall correctly. I'll be going there with my father-in-law as we go to the RV show every year.

I like going just to look at everything. It's pretty nice. I went to the one in Rosemont last year and it was pretty good. The RV and boat show.

 

[MrMezger996]

I will be heading to boat/RV show at mcCormick on Sunday. They have a crap load of RV's to looks and walk through.
