Does this Qualify as a TTT????

Sounds like a good plan to keep from being asked later to me. Wonder mental image though :)

You, included Mike! :R So I was guessing that it qualified!! Lisa and I have not gotten to many if any gatherings over the years, seems our timing has never been right. But I have sure gained tons of knowledge from the folks here after we bought our LG in 07.

We don't have the "facilities", here in the addition where we live, to have built what we wanted so we opted to purchase one that was Mfg'd. I am hoping, maybe the folks that do have that ability may be able to draw something from this design for a home build?? The Cabin-A is a standie for sure. I am 6'4" and can stand with headroom for about 2/3 of the floor plan. It has too many amenities for me, to tell you the truth, but it has more "inside living" area for the nasty days, and I guess that is what the goal was. I sincerely doubt the water heater or shower will EVER get used....seems like too much work when we can use the facilities where we camp. Since the LG was sub 600lbs loaded, I have had to get used to pulling a bigger "box" behind me, as you did not even know the LG was there.

Short story for us.....we made a pack that we will still camp as if we were in the TD, just that we will be able to dress standing up without giving a show to our neighbors! :shock: :)

Here are a couple of more pics.....Thanks to all for the continued support! :thumbsup:

I really like this camper. :thumbsup:
If I had something this nice my wife might actually want to go camping. :lol:

Well, we sold the LG to a very nice lady in Noblesville, IN, Thursday afternoon. I took it down for her as she needed to get her car set up with a hitch. Only about a 100 mile run to deliver it. She was THRILLED to get it, I am guessing she will enjoy it as much as we did. She knows about this Forum, so I am thinking we will get a new member soon! Sad to see the Rascal go, :cry: but I know it will get good use from the new owner.

Now, on the Shop Vac vs Cake topic.......my continued "defense" with Lisa a year later is, ....."just be glad it was the 1 gal with the 2" hose, and not my 16 gal with the 4" hose that I use for woodworking!" :shock: 8) I wish I had taken pictures of the cake, post incident....it was priceless. Those shop vacs have ALOT of suction that is pretty much uncontrollable with you trying to keep the hose end 1/4" from the iced surface. :o We can laugh about it now....No so much then!! :D It is true that cake decorators can FIX anything! ;)

We really liked the layout of the Cabin-A. It does not "feel: like the normal TT. We had a 25' TT some years ago, and it felt like a small house, this still has the "camper" feel to it. We think it will work out well for our use. It is really hard to find a lightweight unit that is 4 cyl towable out there and not break your wallet with something that approachs 15-18k and then they are still 2000 lbs! We took the "folding" dining table out that sits between the bunks. We can eat on the counters while sitting down and will use the twin bunks for sleeping.....really opens up the floor space with out the table there.

Thanks again for all the great comments!

I believe that 2007 was the last year they made them. Ours is a 2006. I think they made them for about 8 years but don't quote me on that. We had seen them online but not in person till one came available about 60 miles south of us at a dealer. We made a run down to "look at it" and the rest was history! Trying to find much info on them on the net is scarce but I have found some diff models they made plus the floor plans etc.
