Have you heard of Slab City?

RV52.com has been writing about the RV as a great way to save money, be “green”, and also that family relationships can be strengthened by living in a house where all of you can’t get so far away.

I personally believe that there is a trend going on to live smaller – Kind of a backlash against “living consumptively” which is what most people do – there is a consumption based herd mindset.

I love this quotation from the Time article : “They bought a used RV and went off the grid. Way off.”

I’m not necessarily saying Slab City is the coolest place in the world. Golly no. What I’m saying though is that I believe there is a trend towards living small and that when an ARTICLE IN TIME MAGAZINE shows up, maybe the mainstream is starting to get it.

RV Review – Dutchmen Sport 296FKS 2012 Travel Trailer

Couple or Single person oriented RV

You don’t see so many RV’s with kitchen’s in the front (usually what is meant when you see the “K” preceded with an “F”  in the model number). By doing so, you end up with a really nice layout for a single person. The biggest downside is that once you do this some of these units then make you go through the bathroom to get to the bedroom. This is one of those units that will actually “separate” the bedroom from the rest of the unit when the bathroom is occupied. That isn’t a terrible thing, but it means that for anything more than 1 or 2 people, the layout can be very inconvenient.

The DISTINGUISHING features ( here is a list of pretty standard items for a travel trailer ) for this trailer are :

  • ONE slide out
  • Front Kitchen
  • Center bathroom

RV Review – Coleman Cheyenne Camping Trailer 2012

Who wants to setup a tent!

Sheri and I are seriously thinking about a little Coleman. We think our little Honda’s could pull these and we could go on little weekend trips with just a cooler!

See the manufacturer’s web site here.

These little trailers are small so the video is REALLY, REALLY short!

Features that make the little camping trailer unique :

  • Light – you can pull it with a car!
  • Welcome at many, many state parks.
  • Way better than sleeping on a tent on the ground.
  • Little stove, and sink built right in to the unit.
  • mini fridge
  • tiny cook stove
  • Cooler storage unit
  • More sleeping space than you can shake a stick at (2 queen size’s plus the kitchen table converts).
