RE: 4-season, no fourishes, no frills?
Steve,
Who are the Canadian manufacturers that make the 4-season trailers you refer to? It seems that Bigfoot, although back in business, won't be making TTs anymore. Sure did like the looks of the 3000 models, though they weren't especially light.

4-season, no fourishes, no frills?
DW dislikes what she considers "fancy" interiors of most travel trailers. She prefers the basic, sort of "European" utilitarian look. Linoleum, not carpet. No floral patterns, please.
Now, I say we need a 4-season unit, 24-28 feet, light as possible.
DW likes new Flying Cloud and International models of Airsteam, but they are priced well beyond our means.
I like Arctic Fox/Nash but their interiors are a little gaudy.
We spend a lot of time (3-4 months at a time) in our Sunline Solaris, but now share the space with two old basset hounds. And it's raining in East Texas and we're feeling a bit claustrophobic.
Might be about time to make a move, upgrade if you will -- if we can find a trailer we can agree on. Would love some steerage.
Thanks.

RE: Texas State Parks during Spring Break?
Thanks, happybooker1 (and others). That's very helpful to know that there are overflow options in case we make an on-the-spot decision to camp at a state park. We may opt for the pass even though we wouldn't get the 1/2 off coupons in time to help with that on this trip. Looks like we would hit 6, 7 or maybe 8 parks coming and going.

Texas State Parks during Spring Break?
We will be on the road with our TT during most of March and about two week of that will be headed east from Big Bend area through Texas and back on a more northern (still through Texas) track back to Colorado.
We hope to camp at several state parks but have no set itinerary, so we can't make reservations more than a couple of days ahead of time.
I know that Big Bend National Park gets crazy during spring break, which, I'm told, is spread out to last much of March. Any thoughts on availability of sites at the state parks during that time?
Thanks.

RE: Golden Age Pass changes (long)
Here's a concept. How about everyone pays their fair share and quits trying to get a discount or free ride on someone elses dime.
Seniors already get free bus rides, free meals delivered, free snow shoveling, etc. etc. etc. If you can't afford to go to National Parks, stay home; or save up until you can afford to go. Enough of the free rides (or discount if you like that term better) for everyone including seniors, for things that are incidentals in life, like camping.
Let's extend the concept: Eliminate all federal subsidies. Everyone pays full price for everything (including social costs). How about that?

RE: Golden Age Pass changes (long)
I understand the argument for FREE use of public lands, and quite a bit of it is still free (e.g.: dispursed camping (boondocking) in most National Forests and on BLM land), but I'm OK with people having to pay a portion of the capital and operating costs for improved facilities that they use -- but not to put profits in pockets of concessionaires taking advantage of taxpayer subsidies on those public facilities.

RE: Golden Age Pass changes (long)
Concessionaires operate more than half of the Forest Service campsites and more than three-fourths of the reservable sites. I paid full price for decades and now that I have my Senior Pass I was looking forward to the 50% discount (even though it is not "guaranteed" under the pass stipulations). My wife and I are on a very limited budget and will more likely utilize dispersed camping opportunities in the National Forests. I must admit that I am surprised that the agency -- and this administration -- would attempt this change in the middle of a severe recession.
