Re: [a/s] Chat about 34' Limited
Congratulations. We have caravan friends that full-time, and they look as
if they are having a ball. If you are in the WBCCI, you will find plenty of
activities and caravans to keep you busy.
Our 34 is also very comfortable. We have lived in it 3 weeks so far and are
amazed at how much the extra 5 feet (we had a 29 footer before) adds to the
"live-ability" of it. We don't full-time (got to have someplace to store
the junk), but we use the trailer several months each year.
We will be in the trailer starting around the 23rd of this month until we
get back from the yellowhead trail caravan in the first/second week of
September.
I wouldn't worry about pulling it either. Parking is a different question.
I have a lot of experience with smaller ones (27 to 31 foot), but the first
time I backed this 34 into a tight spot I was pretty nervous. I have since
parked it perhaps a dozen times, and haven't bent anything yet. I plan to
completely avoid small gas stations - that tail swing could take out a pump
in a hurry!
I tow with a Dodge 2500HD truck with the big V10 engine, and took our 29'er
to Alaska in '97, Nova Scotia in '98, and Manitoba in '99. Back to
Manitoba+Alberta+BC this summer on the Yellowhead trail caravan, then back
to Alaska in the summer of 2001 solo (caravan doesn't spend enough time
there for us).
You might want to make a few short trips with it and enjoy a change of
scenery. I like beaches, and could spend weeks at a good beach here in the
southeast.
