Offered me 6K more for my used Rockwood 5th wheel then I paid for it used 3 years ago. So we picked up a 2022 Alliance Avenue 32rls. Love some of the great features like 101" wide body in a mid profile camper, azdel on both inside and outside walls and a ton of other things.
Love this camper and its 12 volt dc fridge.

Very nice looking Solitude. We almost bought one before settling on a Pinnacle.... You are very organized to have all your stuff in totes. When we moved from our last camper, we had tables all setup in our garage with crap all over!!

that is one of the few times I have been organized in my life!
we didn't know how long it would be before we got the new one, and my future son in law works at lowes and marked the totes down to $5.00
I use some of them in the basement to help keep it organized.

First Real Trip

Not counting a quick two night stay last fall, we’re finally out to play in the new Rockwood. Staying at a nice mom and pop rv park in Wears Valley called Honeysuckle Meadows, near Great Smoky Mountain NP. Loving everything so far!


Got her backed in just fine, still learning though!

Lot spacing and scenery here is much nicer than other parks nearby.

Looking great and like a professional already. My wife and I have spent a good deal of time in/around that NP and really enjoy the area.

We have stayed at Up The Creek campground just up the road from you. Nice little spot too.

Have fun on the adventures!

Very nice Ken. Thanks for sharing. Happy trails! We are finally above freezing here in western SD. I don't see any more nights below 28 in the next 10 days. I plan to get water put in our big girl and get her ready for Mother's Day weekend. Our first of the season. Been a long winter.....

Picked up our new trailer in Utah, Vortex 4025VPXL. On our way to visit family in Southern Colorado and stopped through Moab and are catching all the awesome Jeeps here at Easter Safari.

Looks like you should be able to fit some toys in there.

First camping trip of the season!

With fuel prices being ridiculous, we stayed ~8 miles from home on lake Hartwell.

Finally upgraded from our bumper-pull. Picked this up a week ago and set off on a 1,300 mile maiden voyage to the West Coast. We love the floor plan with two full-size bedrooms and two full baths and a 100" wide-body. I will be living in it two weeks a month for work out of state(Cali). Needless to say there were technical/mechanical challenges. You expect the dealer to do an adequate PDI, now being 24hrs from the dealer, thankfully I am handy and carry a full set to tools. We are looking forward to exploring the many destinations in the California area while we are here for the next few months.
