Have fun. I’m a fan of the area you’re going to.

I’ve done the Dusy-Ershim a couple of times. Beautiful.

 

Thanks yes great area. Also finishing up at Florence Lake catch ferry and backpack to Evolution Valley for couple nights

 

That sounds fun!

Nice, use to go to Dinkey Creek as a kid with my family!

 

Replaced my A Frame camper with a 2019 Tag Edge.

 

Been looking at campers as well. Do you feel the teardrop is a better option than the a frame? Great looking setup!

 

The A frame campers are a great concept, but after owning two of them the past 8 years they have some issues. The roof windows leak and crack due to the roof panels flexing. The overall build quality is not good (Aliner & Rockwood), they are typical RV quality, which is poor.
Selecting a camper depends on your needs, budget, and personal preference. They all have pro's and con's.
The Teardrop campers are not for everyone, I like camping and being outside, so the teardrop is like a fancy tent on wheels.
I still backpack and tent camp, but the teardrop gives you great versatility, especially when my wife comes along!

 

That’s great insight. I have just recently started looking at the a frames and wondered how well they were built and hold up. I’m renting a Hiker trailer in October to see how that goes for a few days. Hopefully very well because I have my eye on the Escapade camper. Just have to convince the wife it’s all we need as we are tent camping now and spend the entire time outside.

 

The Oregon Trailers (http://www.oregontrailer.net/teardrop-trailers.html) have caught my eye lately. Seem to be pretty good build quality and really cool design. A teardrop would be an interesting thing to have

 

@Zac of all trades

 

That Escapade camper looks very cool, it sounds like your already headed in the right direction!

 

no camping setup yet, but this thread rocks!
