These are some my favorite travel and camping photos from our 8 years with the BigFoot travel trailer. We sold it last month to some folks in Oregon so it will be seen on the road up in the northwest some more.

We've downsized to the travel camper you can see in earlier posts. It is easier to haul and park while improving our fuel economy about 15%. The benefits are considerable, and the size is...much smaller.
The best part of having the trailer was using it in camp! A comfortable base for everything outdoors.

If you have any doubt about why I was willing to let it go, then you haven't driven to my house which is on a tiny one-lane road curving between many trees and big bolders. My biggest concern over the years was getting it safely home after a big road trip.

Our private road is the most trailer-unfriendly road I ever took the BigFoot on. Well, there was this Canadian circle camp ground where I barely squeezed everything between the trees while I held my breath and an unfriendly "turn around" at Joshua Tree NP that took 1.5 hours to negotiate. I recall a nasty cul de sac too small by half for the 48 feet of truck & trailer too. Those trick moves I won't miss!

We spent well over a year (total) traveling with the trailer from Big Bend National Park in Texas, to most the places the road goes in Alaska. We traveled British Columbia, Yukon and saw the sights in the Canadian Rockies. Ask me some time & I'll recite every state, provence and park not here on the list!
Many good trips and such good memories shared with friends and family we traveled with or saw on the way or those who became friends on the road or campground.
From here on we will be a little more fleet in the campsites and more easily navigating the urban landscape as well. I'll let you know how comparison seems later on. After a couple week's experience I still prefer the camper! I can park in most shopping and city street parking places that the truck would fit in without the camper, so much simpler.
