Title: First Shake Out Trip in New 11FK
Post by: bocotim on July 27, 2015, 12:21:16 AM
Hi Folks, new owner of a  Camplite 11FK here.  We had our first shake out trip this weekend in beautiful Buena Vista, Colorado.  We put it through its paces, and I am happy to report the trailer performed like a champ.  We stayed at a KOA in the shadow of Mt. Princeton, and after learning about the trailer gadgetry and features, we took a pleasant diversion and soaked in the area hot springs.  Hope to return there again soon.

That camper looks right at home in that setting. Love that red color!

Love this little unit!  It's the one I would have selected had my Beloved not been intent on a toyhauler.  The day we bought, this very unit was parked at the front door of the dealer and did get a lot of traffic.  They had a price tag of $19,000 on it that day; we really liked the red and it would have been our first choice!  

This CO location looks and sounds idyllic...what better way to end a day than in a natural hot spring.  Loved the mineral baths in Truth or Consequence, NM so many years ago. 

Thanks for sharing the beautiful photo and experience!

Just looking at he picture above and the color red is very attractive; just wonder what a green color would look like matching the surrounding terrain!

Oh, I like the red color too!  And love Monte's suggestion about green -- I'm thinking a deep lime-ish green.  I like to be able to spot my rig in a campground.
