Bill has been looking at travel trailers online regularly since we decided to get one, but we had pretty much decided not to actually buy one until autumn when used ones might be more available at lower prices. Then as we drove north towards Kansas he received a phone call from Desi at Toppers RV’s in Waller, TX — a used one in extremely good condition had just come in and he thought it might be just what we were looking for.
So after returning home, we went to look at the 2011 Coachmen Apex. Other than the bed not having walk space on each side (we’d prefer not having to crawl over each other to get up) and not having larger windows, it did fit what we had in mind. Not as cute as Casitas or Vintage styles, but a great buy.
The short-queen mattress has been replaced with a real queen mattress. The free-standing table that originally came with it was missing but Bill can build one. Topper’s was already replacing the awning and the tires are nearly brand new. So Bill and son-in-law Michael decided we would buy it.
Topper’s is a great dealer to work with! They went over the trailer in great detail — tightening, replacing, checking for irregularities, then added new propane tanks and battery. A week later, we drove it home where Bill is now testing all the systems out while Kristen and I are gathering supplies to make it livable (bedding, kitchen stuff, etc.) Now — where shall we travel to?
