Ever since our youngest son started K-State’s architecture program, we have hoped he would design a ‘forever’ home for us. His recent graduation has made that hope a reality, especially now that we sold our house. Building will be a long process since we do not have land yet. Since the house sold so quickly and we needed a place to rest our heads each night, we were forced to decide what was next.  We discussed buying another house or renting an apartment until our custom home could be completed. Instead, we came up with another solution…..buying a travel trailer. However, this decision led to more options. If you haven’t paid much attention to travel trailers, anything imaginable is available. Some trailers basically are apartments on wheels. They have all the comforts of home, and often, cost about as much a home, especially if you include the massive truck needed to pull those beasts.

With the help of our son and Google, we stumbled across Intech Trailers. Intech specializes in micro camping trailers. Even better, the Intech Flyer Explore is a micro toy hauler, meaning we could take our motorcycles with us. After discovering a Flyer Explore with the options we wanted at Mid-America RV in Carthage, MO, we made the trip to check it out. While the camper is small, just 14 feet, it offers a fold-out full-size bed, a slide out cookstove and electric cooler, heat and air conditioning, and ample storage space. After a conversation with Salesman Scott and writing a check, we owned our ‘new home’.

Lesson Learned: There’s a whole lot more to buying a trailer than just writing a check. Stay tuned!
