For me, it all depends on whether I want to, or need to live in a TD. If I'm just doing it to see how long I can do it, I probably wouldn't last that long. But, if my TD was all I had to live in, I could do it for as long as I had to.

BVE has the puffin saved to a PDF.

Here is the link... http://www3.telus.net/~bve/

As to the op's question, I think one would get mighty tired of living in a TD after just 2 or 3 days of non-stop rain. So east of the Mississippi, you may want to consider something larger than a TD. I'm thinking a person could live full time in one of these...

Mike,

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, I'm on dial-up and the file is 18.2 MB, or about 2 hours to download. :(

I really like that model you built. I need to future out a way to build it out of balsa wood so that I can tow it with my current vehicles! :lol: Miriam suggested selling the cars and buy another one. That is financially impossible for us.

We really would not want to full time in a small trailer. We did the full time thing starting back in 1983 when we purchased a 40 ft. 5th wheel.
ImageIt was fun at the time, but we did get tired of being on the road and settled down in Reno, NV in 1987. Wish we had kept the 5th wheel.

Still have not been completely talked out of a TD for a month or so to go to AZ., but I sure do have to figure out the cat situation. Two cats that don't like each other in that confined space would be a an insane situation! Maybe they would settle the fight once and for all. Then there is the litter box. That does stink.

Thanks again.
Jerry
