Maybe We're Crazies

I was so not looking forward to driving across country in a packed SUV, putting up a tent and blowing up an air mattress every few days, staying in hotels, eating out.  We were thinking of getting a trailer last year and then found out that we couldn't tow one like we wanted with the minivan so we stopped looking.  Than in January we replaced the van with an SUV that tows a big load but we still weren't even thinking of the trailer by then.  Well, we decided to go look at them last weekend and found two we love.  I wanted it.  It was the answer.  Instead of endless lists of what to take, what we will take if we have room, food to buy now, food to buy on the road, etc. we could just load the trailer and not worry.  Today we went and looked again and they gave us a price we didn't want to pass up on the bigger trailer.  Now hopefully we will be able to tow it.  (The vehicle should but are the drivers capable?)  We pick it up next week when we finalize everything.  I am excited.  It will be like being thrown into a fire pit to figure out the backing and everything.  We planned on getting one in 1-2 years anyway.  I know we are crazy.  We made three big purchases this year but the vehicles we plan on having for ten years and the trailer for at least 20.  Pictures will be posted next week after we get it.
