Trading down

Larry and I are getting ready for a trip with our new trailer.  Boy, did we give that dealership a great deal!  We traded straight across for a 2012 Springdale valued at about $22,000.  We had been trying to sell our old 2008 Cardinal for the NADA value, but not even a nibble.  Now the RV place has it listed for $35,500!  (the NADA value). http://www.donsrv.com/rv/forestriver/fifthwheel/401/Forest_River_Cardinal_34RLTS

We wanted smaller, but we looked at so many trailers, the features that I liked all ran together.  We decided on a 26' Keystone Sprindale.  Oops, no pantry.  I looked at one with a pantry, but apparently this one did not have that feature.  *Sigh*, I guess we will have to get creative with storing our packaged and canned goods.  We are trying not to kick ourselves too hard.  It is a nice little trailer and we did want to downsize.  We got spoiled with our land yacht, but even the trailer we had prior to the Cardinal had a pantry.  Damn it we are going to learn to love our new trailer.  It's time to make some lemonade.
