Buying my camplite 11fk w/tent bed in Louisiana :) (updated)

Hi. After lots of research, I finally decided I want a camplite 11fk with the bed/tent on the end and I prefer red to match my red SUV  8-)    (Wonder Woman wears red, too)
Recently widowed and wanting to hit the road and escape badly...like tonight. This looks like a great option for a quasi-wonder woman to handle by herself (please correct me if I'm wrong). I have pulled a 32-foot camper around, by myself before. I didn't much like it though. Point being that I can pull it, set it up, break it down, etc, by myself.
Sincerely,
Tara

Agreed on a 2017 red/ white interior CampLite 11FK today! Sending the paperwork and a check tomorrow to TheRVGuys in Texas and they're going to deliver it to my driveway. They were really easy to deal with and I'm super excited! This is EXACTLY the camper I wanted and I'm getting it for a great price.  (rofl)

So sorry you are recently widowed. :-(    
I hope you can find a Camplite 11FK because we recently purchased one and love it. I do believe you will have no difficulty going solo with it. We are amazed how easy it is to set up/take down and tow. And though it seems small (one fellow camper told us it was the teeniest camper she had ever seen) it is plenty spacious inside for the two of us. We are so glad we got the tip out bed because when you sleep there you feel like you're sleeping in a tent, all surrounded by screens. Best of luck to you!

Sorry for your loss.  I did a search for Camplite 11' FK and found quite a few on the interweb but none in Louisiana but there is a red one listed on RVTrader.com <http://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/Chippewa-Valley-RV-%28d.b.a-Prestige-Auto-%26-RV%29-2894300/listing/2016-Livinlite-CampLite-Camplite-Travel-Trailers-11FK-118938962>.  They are out there but you will need to travel some to get exactly what you want.  Good Luck and Happy Trails!

Thanks for your responses.
happycampers, I like that I could keep the bed/tent out with the dining area set up. Good to know I should be able to handle this by myself, too.

charleschapman, thanks for the link. That's quite a ways off. I guess I'll just keep searching. Maybe somebody selling theirs will see my post one day. I guess I could see if any of the local camper places can get one for me.

I sent an email to a camper sales place right down the road to see if maybe they want to find what I want and sell it to me. Can't hurt to ask. I did this a while back at a car dealership and they jumped on it, found the exact vehicle I wanted, in Texas, and had it shipped to their dealership in Lafayette, LA within two days. I certainly won't get it if I don't ask for it, right?! That's my motto, anyway.  ;)
I also sent emails to a couple of places far away to see if they might be able to somehow "ship" the camper to me instead of me driving 900+ miles to get it.

Have you tried using the dealer locator on the LL website ? Dunno how up to date it is but worth checking.

mjmoore17, thank you. I was looking all over this site... Found it and found one dealer about 1.5 hours away. Sent them a message. :)

I did make contact with a salesman through one of those big sales sites and they'll ship one down here too. So, we'll see where I can get the best deal. I'm getting it; that's for sure! :)
