We like doing what we did this recent Fall, BUT ... the cramped quarters in the Hi-Top Van leave alot to be desired when you want to settle in to a particular camp site for more than an overnight. We pulled a 20' upright for several years as well as several different pop-ups when our 4 kids were still home with us, but now we're ready to once again pull a trailer and likely still use the van as our primary TV (which will still allow us to use that van set-up for a few more extended side trips away from a more permanent and accomodating base camp from time to time). Our Labradoodle "Parker" would NOT want to give up his comfy ride on the queen bed in the back with the 'memory foam' topper and multiple pillows to snuggle up in. He knows when he's got it good!

I appreciate the heads up on the Milwaukee and McHenry dealerships. We've visited both of them years ago when we were considering the RoadTrec approach but settled for the towable so one can unhook and explore more readily in the TV. Our alternate TV is an older Durango we could use when we wanted to do some more serious off-road exploring once the TM was dropped at our campsite. Hopefully things will come together for us by the time the next travel season comes around and we'll be in a TM of our own.
