What's a thread without a conversation of sorts ? Cu due's to the OP.

Picked up a new-to-me trailer - 2018 Flagstaff 207SE. The wife and I wanted something a little more comfortable/quick to setup than our typical tent setup that we had been using for a couple years. It will make our many weekend camping trips much more enjoyable. Plus, it being a "sport edition" comes with 12" of ground clearance, decent size mud terrains, etc...so it should be capable enough for some of our more tame trips:

No head bumping any more HUH ? That's nice. How long do they say the side material will last with heavy use ?

It just threw me for a loop too! At a quick glance I couldn’t understand why I would have responded to myself

I don't know about that. We guys don't much like to have anything hanging.

Definitely no more bumping - plus it's nice to be able to give our dog her own sleeping area so she doesn't end up on top of us every night ;).
Not sure how long the material will last. The guy we bought it from used it for around 40 nights in the last year or so, and it looks brand new. The nice thing about these pop-ups is that you can replace sections of the canvas, as needed. It's broken down into 3 main sections, each of which is replaceable for ~$200. Based on our current planned outings for 2020...it's looking like we'll be staying in it for around 20-30 nights, so time will tell!

The best thing about your trailer is that when you look in your rear view mirror, you can see what's behind you. I'm sure you will enjoy your trailer having space to move around when the weather is bad outside.

We love those. I stick them on the dash while we drive to charge and by bedtime they’re ready to hang by carabiner from the internal frame of the tent as reading lights. We also got a few of the color ones to run in red around camp.

Depends on the county. Travis (Austin) is super anal about tint. Farther out, it's less restrictive.

That's okay, your putting your money where it is most needed and worthwhile. Play can come later unless you lose sight of things and bury yourself in work !Last bought, Smitty Bilt RTT next up college tuition so sadly nothing for truck for a llllloooonnnngggg while
To go with my little Kovea cupid heater, I went ahead and bought the little one burner Colman butane stove, ($20 at woolly world), it uses the same fuel canister that the heater uses. I have a smaller colman stove that is pretty nice (peak 1) it's just a little to small for a frying pan but it stores well in my emergency kit we put together in a small amo box. Doesn't take up much space and both stoves will complement each other well. You might say I have a amo box fetish, one for a first aid kit, one for emergency cooking kit, a large military style one for my dry food storage and a tiny one for my gmrs talkies. Pretty easy to fit them into books and cranny s when the vehicle is packed for a outing. Oh one for fuels for the stores and little heater. Oh another thing we found at woolly world was some small wooden stands/trays for dominoes so that we can play our version of Mexican trains dominoes. (Which we feel is almost as intense as poker but harmlessly fun).
Hoping not to spend any $$$$ for a while. Going for a trail run/overnight camp trip Saturday to see how my purchases work. I'll try to post my findings when I get back.
