Update On Campers

[JerryR58]

We sold our 1999 Sunline Solaris T-2970. I had purchased it new replacing the first 1992 Sunline Saturn T-2251. That Saturn wasn't a basic camper, but had many options, but was called a Saturn because of it's size being under 23 feet.

The T2970 was replaced by a new Outback 266RB. After three years of debugging the Outback things are pretty good now. A number of items failed just out of warranty. It was frustrating at times with failures of the tongue jack touch screen, the power converter, the water heater wiring not being correct preventing the gas portion of the water heater from working properly. A trip back for a floor replacement in the bathroom due to a broken leaking toilet flange causing the floor to sag and flex. Now we are all fixed and I certainly want to keep it as I don't want to go through this stuff again.

The 266RB has a lot of nice features such as auto leveling, power awning, a spacious bathroom and is very comfortable.

We this year added a camper for the grown daughters as they grew up in Sunline campers, for them we bought a 2007 Sunline Solaris. A cute little thing that has been pretty well protected from bad weather and being in the sun all the time.

Still towing with the 2000 Ford E350 Club Wagon. It delivers up to 10MPG with the Outback, it did the same for the 1999 T2970. I haven't towed the T2075 all that much yet, but I have found that it too was delivering the same mileage towing the much lighter trailer. I thought for sure that I would get more MPG, but I have only towed the T2075 a couple of times any long distance. Time will tell.

Happy Camping To All,

Jerry
