18ft Wilderness Yukon Travel Trailer

Well its been 7 months since Ive posted on here. This is mainly do to the fact that I've been working 6-7 days a week, every week for the majority of that time. I do have big news on the nomad camper trailer though, I gave it to a friend! I buddy of mine needed a utility trailer so I gave it to him to turn it into one. The reason behind this decision was that I just haven't had any time to work on it, and I also kind of lost the drive to work on it anymore. It's really tough to have to go over to someone else's house to work on something. I hope to build a trailer one day, but right now its just not really practical.

More good news on the travel trailer front though. I bought one! Just a few days after getting rid of the nomy, I was searching craigslist and a found a trailer that was perfect, at a perfect price. It was a 1988 18ft Wilderness Yukon made by Fleetwood for $2500. The pictures made the inside like it was in perfect condition. So I emailed the seller asking if I could come take a look at it. She emailed back and said that someone was coming the next day to buy it! The next day at work however I got a phone call on my break from the lady that was selling it. She told me that the person that was supposed to come that morning got food poising the night before! Unfortunate for them but great for me, she told me I could come and take a look it the next day.

I drove up to the couples house that had the trailer. The trailer looked great! Just like it did the photos. They were asking $2500 and I offered them $2300 and the accepted. Anyways that's about it, can't wait to get to take it out camping!

  2. It is really a beautiful travel trailer that has all the facilities and comfort that we have in our home. It's looking like a well furnished hotel room, one will definitely enjoy his/her journey more than the destination with such a comfortable travel trailer. Recently i also purchased a cheap trailer from bigtrailerwarehouse
