We have three kids, too. But I still can't imagine hauling around a bigger trailer. (Sometimes our 26' is too big, like when we're polishing!) You can make the 22' work. It sure looks like a cute trailer!

Totally agree.

SOTR? Oh, don't do it, Marcus. Overlanders all the way!

Thanks Lynetta, it truly is fantastic to be back. Sometimes the Real World just has a way of interfering with my Aistream time, but I promise at most it will always be temporary. I love aluminum, it's in my soul!

And don't worry, I'm pretty sure at this point my Overlander will always be a part of the faimly. It's just that my 5-yo girl is pretty inistent that when she grows up and moves away, the Overlander is going to be hers. How can I say no to that???

As it turns out, there are some companies willing to pay me for contingency planning, and this is just an extension of that.

Prices out West must be way lower than in the East. At $3K that trailer would be a steal around here.
If you do pull the trigger and redo the entire interior keep in mind just about everything has a value and someone is probably looking for it. Don't just throw it all away.
