I see one of the people in your group has a Lifestyle Campertrailer.... How did it go??

We had one of the 1st/2nd model ones and for the build quality and money, it was imho one of the best Campertrailers around, tuff as nails, but heavy though.

Great pics by the way.... no mechanical issues within the group??

What time of the year was your trip and how recent??

Great looking trip. I bet it'll leave an indelible mark on the kids -- one they'll cherish forever. Now get that Nav and throw some more pics up!
