We bought it used for $5k. Came with the mattress, AC, roof racks, spare tire, and a few odds and ends like a little fridge and camp stove.
Thanks!
WOW congrats on surprising your wife and ha ha on the without a hitch joke and Yes, dogs also love the campfire atmoshphere!!!! Awesome set-up.My wife found a great deal on a small, used camper online a few months ago (about half price of new). I surprised her when she was out of town and bought it. It's something we both have wanted for years.
We took it out last weekend for the first time. It's the first time I've ever driven while towing, except for a few practice runs in the neighborhood.
I'm happy to report it went off without a hitch (my new favorite joke).
The Mav ('24 hybrid XLT Lux) did great. I only noticed the trailer on a few steeper hills, and even then I could still excelerate.
The trailer weighs about 1k lbs. We had about 500 lbs of people, dog, and gear in the truck. Another 100 lbs of gear in the trailer (I love having all this storage space).
I took it slow and steady. Mostly kept it at 60 to 65 on the highway. Rough calcs showed about 34 MPG for the 200-mile round trip.
Overall, we had a blast. The Mav's versatility was fantastic. It hauled our firewood, toted our gear, and was easy to drive through town when we made a coffee run (I'm still learning how the new coffee pot works and my first batch was... not great.).
We've already got a bunch more campsites we want to hit that'll let us get to mtn bike and hiking trails a bit too far away for day trips.
Doggo was a little scared, but he's learning it's his new den.
I can't wait to take it out again.
Nice setup!Congrats, they are fun little campers. We will be taking ours on fourth trip at end of the month.
