A week has passed since the Mighty 11 arrived home. Busy with fitting, testing, tinkering, and backyard camping with two boisterous young cats. These characters may have to camp with me one at a time in the future if any of us are to sleep all night. Drove it 3 miles to the elementary school empty parking lot yesterday, Sunday, to practice backing up in a straight line and into tight spots. Right off learned that the Mighty 11 turns mighty, mighty fast. ???? Now I remember why I traded my two horse trailer in for a longer 4 horse stock trailer! Slow and easy needs to be mastered real soooooooooon. ????
I like red Camplites! You have a mighty pretty 11 footer!
Slow is the important word when backing up. Good luck with practicing. For me, this is the most difficult part of RVing - learning how to back up.
Thanks, Leslie. I need all the encouragement I can get. smile!
Fine looking rig! Really like the Red, too!!!!!!
Anonymity not us! ????
Nice! You'll find the quick turning thing a great asset when backing into a campsite from a narrow road!
I like it! There's a load of fun waiting to be packed into that trailer.
Also like to add your homestead looks remarkable. With a home like that why go camping? Now I see why you camp in the driveway!

What a hoot to read all your comments, everyone. This is not just acquiring a mighty travel trailer, it is gaining a whole new, really fun, extended family. Thanks for adding so much to the excitement and anticipation of new RV adventures.
Christina, did you get your CL at Funtime RV in Tualatin? A woman was picking up a little red one the day I was buying mine a few weeks ago.
Hi Kath, what a coincidence. Yes, it just had to be me because I bought the only little red one that Funtime had on their lot and it was just in the recent past. Delighted to find another RVer here in the northwest. Hope our paths cross and we can say hello. I visited seven RV dealers in the area without success and then everybody at Funtime made me feel so welcome and provided such professional service at a remarkably competitive price , I couldn't resist taking the Mighty 11 home.
Yay, Funtime. They just this winter moved their service to another, larger location to speed up their service times. I think all they do at the main lot is delivery prep work.

It was so darn pretty, if we hadn't needed more room, I might have stolen it right then and there - just kidding, of course! I love the red, which would match my Tacoma, but I was too impatient to order one, so am happy with the bronze 16DBS. But, what fun you'll have in that great little thing! Hope to see you around the PNW.
BTW, sounds like Funtime is not going to continue as a dealer for LivinLite, though I assume they'll still continue with service. It appears everybody's buying RPods, made here in Oregon, so less shipping for them. Very unfortunate. We have so few LL dealers out West to begin with.
Redrum Redrum... Oh sorry... that was a voice in my head saying that. Red is a "HOT" color my fav. I wonder if Maaco would paint my
21RBS? Earl Schieb would have for $29.95 circa 1965.
