We got away early this morning. First stop was to be Chippewa Falls Wisc by lunch to have a look at a Big Woody Camper. We had the address and a GPS piece of cake! Well getting to Chippewa Falls was easy finding Big Woody not so much. The trusty GPS took us to a residential neighbourhood. We stopped an asked for directions. The young man seemed to know what he was talking about - "sure over by Shopko and behind the tank farm." Well we got close but no cigar so Plan B call and ask for directions. Seemed like a good idea but we got voicemail - so left a voicemail.
Fortunately our next stop was only 12 miles away in Eau Claire Wisconsin and a Little Guy dealer. No problem finding Southtown Motors and quite a few Little Guy models. We had finally seen a real teardrop! I think at this point we knew we could do this... We spent quite a bit of time looking at Joe's various models - he had the Rascal, a five wide econ, a five wide platform and a couple of off-road sport models.
We still hadn't looked at a traditional teardrop and by this time we had directions to Big Woody so off we went back to Chippewa Falls. Dave the owner/builder of Big Woody campers showed us his trailers. Very nice! We priced out one of his trailers and it was pretty reasonable but I think we had already decided on a Little Guy but which model?
So back to Eau Claire we go and after another go at looking at a couple of models we decided on the Rascal. It is the smallest one in the lineup but suited our needs. We are planning towing with our diesel Jetta so did not want much weight or a towing profile bigger that the car - this seemed to meet our needs. However making a deal at Joe's didn't work out - not to worry there were other dealers close enough - we are off to Twin Anchors RV in Colo Iowa tomorrow! Tonight we are still tenting so off to the nearby State Park for the night. An unserviced tent site was reasonable at $14.00 but then we needed a $10.00 park pass on top of the site fee!
We decided not to go look at a Camp-Inn as we were sure they would be nice but out of the budget.
