The Cub


Introducing....the Cub!  After some searching, we found the perfect travel trailer for our trip.  It is an 16' AeroLite Cub.  Here is the Cub on our first camping trip, to Westmoreland State Park, since we bought it in April.  We've been travelling and breaking her in with any available weekends since then.  In addition to Westmoreland, we've been to Shenandoah National Park, Blake Mountain, and the Lake Anna Winery (VA Renaissance Faire). 


The Cub has 2 "pop-out" beds, and the dining area also converts into a bed.  We also have a bathroom with toilet and shower, and a kitchen with sink, stove, fridge, and even an oven!  Daisy has already tried out the shower....just look how happy she is.



 It has been fun getting to shower and cook whenever we like - so different from the backpacking and backcountry camping that we are used to!  I could get used to this "glamping" thing.  Ricardo has installed a solar panel to the top of the trailer and it is working like a charm.  And, we've already towed the trailer on some pretty "rough" roads and it handled fine - good prep for the trip!

  2. That would be a great idea Ern! Hey, we missed you on closing day at the faire! It was a grand time. I will see you at William Wallace day before I leave my friend! :)

  3. What can the solar power do, specifically? Great idea, whatever it does. I use a solar-powered protective case for the iPad. Comes in handy.
