...Where's the maiden voyage? 
Mr 3pin, I'm not sure where
first... someplace local and easy -- mainly to get the feel of the rig and its systems. I should find a campground with "hookups", since that aspect is the most new to me...including the dark and terrifying "blackwater".
After maidenhood is past
my first big trip will be (so I plan) a return this fall to the deep and watery South/East -- same areas I visited last fall with my FWC. That area still intrigues me so much...and I have a new kayak -- more versatile than what I enjoyed last year.
The trailer will allow me a type of flexibility and convenience I didn't have with the truck-camper. It was inconvenient for [lazy and solo] me to have to stow all my stuff away in the camper so that I could drive from my campsite a mile or few to a kayaking or hiking spot (or to the store, etc). What I like MOST about the trailer is that I can drive away from my "home" while leaving it fully deployed.
Of course, the camper has advantages over the trailer, too: 1) You don't have to tow anything! 2) It can be taken to anywhere my 4x4 truck can go -- including lava-crawling spots accessible only in 4-Lo, which I've done more than once.
So, I'm keeping the camper. I can even imagine a scenario where I have the camper mounted on the truck (instead of the canopy I have now)
while towing the trailer -- so that I have all options available.
My mother passed away this spring. After we get her house on the market (this month) I will have no commitments that pull me back to or keep me in Oregon and northern California. Longer-term exploration and adventures await me and my rig(s)!
...ummm....
