Trading it in. Don't want to have to deal with putting it in storage and meeting people there to look at it etc.

Makes sense. Too bad that fridge couldn't have held out a little longer but that one has been pretty good to you.

I think this is a win all the way around...you get to upgrade the 5'er, keep the nice spot you have now, and you won't be tied down to anything when the time comes to move.

That's exactly right. It's nice to be paying on something I get to keep. The other bonus is that since this is our primary residence, I should be able to write off the loan interest.

We paid $19,500 for the rig back in 2001. It's been lived in for a total of about 7.5 years. If I get the $3k they are talking about, that's only $183 a month for the cost of the 5th wheel. Well worth it in my book. It has held up awesome and I've had to do very little to it considering the amount that it has been lived in full time.

Nice looking trailer, Nathan. I'm envious of the solar system.

Definitely a bonus. I do need to try and figure out what wattage the panel is rated for though. Its not something I'll need really often since it will be parked full time, but nice to keep things goin during power outages.

Who can argue with that, Bruce?

Oddly enough, a search for "burka + volleyball" returned a result:
