I have been on the hunt for the right camper for the past few months. Last winter I had one, and I spent about a month in my buddies as we toured montana and interior British Columbia. I have found that for around $300 you can transform not only your entire winter but your entire outdoor schedule.
Think about it. Whether its going for a hike or heading out on a saturday morning for a ski tour, do you want to drive home when you are done? I usually don't. What I do want to do is relax, make some tea, maybe do some computer work at a coffee shop, go to bed early and get up and do it again. The little dog can stay warm if you have a decent heater, and the whole family is happy. Not only that, when you eliminate the morning drive you buy yourself a few hours to get out earlier, to enjoy the morning light, the sound of frozen snow under your skis.
While the winter is more than half over, my search continues, as spring skiing allows for long days I have plans to spent a few weeks in sw Colorado as well as the eastern sierra. And I want to have my home with me.
Thats the first entry. let me know what you think or feel free to email photos to info@totemindustries.com of your camper/rig and we'll throw it up in our campers section of the website.
