In December 2019 we decided to purchase a 5th wheel trailer. We would live in
the trailer during the winter months (November through March) on BLM land at the
Imperial Dam LTVA. During the months April through October we would put the
trailer in summer storage at a nearby storage facility.
We believed this arrangement would provide us with the most cost effective way
to spend the winter months near Yuma, AZ.
Our search for a 5th wheel led us to a couple from Canada who were selling their 1999 NUWA Hitchhiker, 35 foot trailer. The trailer had 3 slide-outs and came fully furnished; dishes, silverware, glassware, television, tools, three lawn chairs and a Weber Q1000 grill. They were the second owners, and had kept it at a RV Resort in Yuma for the past 10 years. The trailer was in pristine condition on the inside, with a fair amount of sun exposure wear and tear on the exterior. We purchased the trailer and took possession of it on February 6, 2020.
Our new winter home is so spacious compared to our 17 foot Casita fiberglass trailer, that we have used for our winter sojourns over the past years.
We look forward to many enjoyable years to come in our new-to-us 5th wheel winter home.
