Choosing our Caravan. 05/31/2010
 Welcome When Reg and I were shopping to buy our home on wheels, I only knew I did not want a conventional caravan and we were prepared to spend around $150,000. all up on the car and the caravan combination. Reg loved some of the fifth wheelers and I thought many of them were too large for the two of us and a scary concept for me the driver, the one Reg liked I didn’t and vice versa. We both agreed on a Winnebago, almost placed an order for one. We had reservations about the height, we were so used to being able to scoot around towing a light weight AVan ALiner and I did not want to be restricted in where I could go due to the height of those things Then I found a caravan I loved. The Palomino Thoroughbred, Caravan. I was rather apprehensive about towing a van that size. 25 of luxury, modern furniture fittings inside, lots of storage space, off highway and it had the push out lounge, expandable kitchen area, I loved as it gave a spacious size to the interior one set up. Reg was not so keen on this one. The only thing both Reg and I agreed on was the Eco Tourer Caravan We kept going back to look at it. It is perfect for our needs though for the third trip out in a row, I still have too much clutter in it. Given I am having clutch problems with the Toyota troupy, it looks like it is just as well I did not buy that very large heavier Palomino Thoroughbred, I would be cursing having towed that one up all the hills we have manoeuvred on this trip. I have to agree, Reg was right, the ergonomic design of the Eco Tourer, was a far smarter purchase for us. I hardly know I am towing it and we get great fuel economy and it is plenty, big enough for Reg, Indigo and me.     Comments Comments are closed. |
