Gypsy


I guess it's time that I talked about my fifth wheel, which I named Gypsy. She's a Dutchmen Colorado 27RL, but the actual length is about 30 feet. I've had her for about 2 years and towed her almost 20,000 miles all over the Western states. She's been a great rolling home.

Because I planned on a lot of dry camping, I shopped around for a trailer with substantial fresh and waste water capacity. Gypsy has a 52 gallon fresh tank and three 30 gallon waste tanks, two gray and one black. I also installed two 120 watt solar panels on the roof and I have another mobile 80 watt panel on a 15 foot cord. It has worked out great. We boondock for weeks at a time.

Oh, yeah. The photo was taken at Lake Pleasant, Arizona, dry camping of course.

  • Beautiful picture! You have inspired me to try boondocking some day.

    We have a triple axel, triple slide, 36 ft. (actual 39 ft), Cardinal 5th wheel. Since 2003, we've camped in at least 8 different states.

    Glad to see you are back. I loved your writing in RV Travel, and missed it when you were gone.
