Ron, Linda and Ronnies summer retreat at the New Jersey shore!

In 1995 we had stayed at a friends campsite at Bakers acres and where amaze at the convence of trailer camping. So when a trailer and a lot became available we jump on the chance of being in the great outdoors agains and bought a 1983 32 foot Citation travel trailer, that came with a small shead and a 12' x 12' screenhouse. We spent the next 9 years making friends and adding a platform under the sceenhouse and adding a 12' x 20' deck to the front of the trailer. We also added a 12' x 20' sceenroom to the front of the trailer a few years ago, but by this time our aging 22 year old trailer was becoming a money pit due to age and about 90 days of use each of the 8 seasons we had it. In the last three years we had to replace the frig, air conditioner, the toilet, the gate valves on the holding tanks, repair the black water tank, replace the propane bottles and install a new rubber roof. Now the aging floor of the trailer was getting soft and ready to be replaced, but the cost of the new trailer we wanted was just to high.

Just two weeks after opening up for the 2005 season we heard of a trailer that was up forsale just around the corner from us and desided to check it out. Well, when we walked thru the door we where sold right away. This was the floor plan and size we where looking for, it's a 2001 Dutchmen 36' living area and 39' overall length two bedroom with a 14' sideout making the kitchen and living room. A 14' x 16' living area and a full size bathroom and was really worth all of the work we put into changing the trailers out.
