Some have asked for me to document what I'm doing to my Cricket so here goes.
I started my camping trailer life with an AT Chaser w/ large rooftop tent. I'd still have it today if not for the wife and kids needing a little more creature comfort. I wanted to still get off the beaten path but needed a hard sided trailer that wasn't going to cost $60k and be imported from South Africa or Australia. We rented an off road teardrop from coloradoteardrops.com thinking we would go in that direction but the interior space was limited and we would have outgrown it quickly. I had always been intrigued by the Cricket--lightweight, quirky but cool-looking (IMHO), small but with enough interior space that we could hole up in it if the weather turned awful. Most importantly, they can be had used without breaking my bank. I found a 2015 somewhat local and pulled the trigger knowing it would need some work to get it where I wanted.
