Oh hey :)

Sorry I've been MIA!  Not having to sit in front of a computer all day long really makes it hard to get on here and post regularly.  But I've been wanting to update you guys on my funemployment!  I still haven't found a job.  I just applied to 6.  Hopefully someone calls me back!

BUT!  I have done some fun things this month!

First, I went to Vegas for a bachelorette party and it was the most amazing time ever:

PDQ - I will delete the ones with other people.

*poof*

Then, EMT decided it was time to buy a toy hauler:



and we immediately took it camping








I'm enjoying my unemployment way too much, LOL.

Looks like you have had a lot of fun!

So fun! I want a toy hauler like nobody's business.

Hi! Looks like you're having a lot of fun

Hello there.

[jellymankelly]

I love the new hauler. What are you pulling it with? What's the dry weight? We are in early talks about upgrading our pop up in a year or two and we are trying to decide if we need to upgrade vehicles first. I was going to get a 4-door Mini Cooper, but if my old work horse Montero can't haul the new hypothetical trailer, I might end up getting something bigger. It can haul 5000lbs, so I'm hoping we can get a decent upgrade that's under 5000. The only problem is needing at least 3 beds.

Also, super jealous you can camp year round. We've got snow right now and I'm dying for spring so we can camp again!

BF's truck is a 5x4 F150.  The trailer's wet/gross weight is a little over 7000; dry is about 4500.  When we got back to his house, his roommate immediately checked to see if his buggy fits with BF's quad, which it does (see below - quad is upright in front of the buggy), but the F150 can't tow it when it's that loaded down (the buggy weighs 1100 lbs by itself).  His roommate has a diesel F250 that we'll take to Pismo next month.  BF's plan is to upgrade his truck in a few years, hypothetically around the time that he and I are ready to go in on a side-by-side together. 




Also, one of the best parts of this trailer is that it has *4* beds!  2 queen bunk beds and two oversized twins.  These pics are dark, but you can see the beds:

That's one of the two bench seats folded down to a bed.  Both of us accidentally fell asleep while watching TV on them.  They're really comfortable.



That's two queen beds, tucked up to the ceiling.  They're on electronic rails, so you just have to push a button and they drop down.  They're a little thin, but in good shape. We'll probably buy a mattress topper for each of them.


Honestly, from what we looked at, I don't know if you're going to find a hauler that's under 5000 gross, especially with 3 beds.

Glad you are having fun!

The 7 weeks between when I lost my job and started a temp job were the best! It's all been downhill from there lol. Keep it going while you can

[lexxasaurus]

Aww, my mom always took her toy hauler and quad up to Pismo, how fun! I'm happy to hear things are going so well for you.
