The dealer I visited changed to a competitive brand and decided to sell this barely used unit, so I practically bought it on the spot.  Being set up for rental the trailer has hydraulic surge brakes, however, my preference is electric brakes since you have more control over what's going on back there.  My biggest complaint is the noisy air conditioner.  If I get ambitious I am considering installing a small window type AC unit in the area under the dinette/bed.  On the outside the AC would be behind the LP tank <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" >(I keep looking for someone that may have already done this)</FONT>.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 239 ><NOBR><div> <I><IMG SRC="090f5e90.jpg" border=0 width="245" height="233" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="442"><bR> <div> Sometimes I just like to get away myself and so as to help conserve fuel I obtained a used (2004) <A HREF="http://www.aliner.com/design/Xterior/products_detail.php?Type=PRODUCTS&prodid=6&sectid=5" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.aliner.com/design/Xterior/pro"><U><B>Aliner Alite</b></U></A> as a second camper.  Weighs less than 500 lbs which can be towed with my Subaru Legacy (2.2 cu. in. engine).  No amenities except does have a battery and a 120 AC to 12 VDC converter.  Think I just missed my old Aliner since they are so easy to tow and also fold down out of the air stream.  It will sleep two comfortably but you need to rearrange things inside first.  </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 191 ><NOBR><div> <I><IMG SRC="0470ab40.jpg" border=0 width="266" height="180" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="442"><div> Previous to purchasing the FunFinder, I had a 2005 16 ft <A HREF="http://www.scamptrailers.com/mn/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.scamptrailers.com/mn/"><U><B>Scamp</b></U></A>.  The Scamp is a nice easy to tow unit, but due to the rounded corners a lot of interior space is compromised.  Also the interior is covered with an insulating material called Ensolite (better know as "rat fur").  The combination of the rounded shape and furry walls gave it a cave like feeling.  The fiberglass people are a loyal group and really love their little "eggs", but just wasn't my cup of tea.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 229 ><NOBR><div>  <IMG SRC="0460bc80.jpg" border=0 width="267" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="442"><div> Previous to and concurrent with the SCAMP, I had a 1994 <A HREF="http://www.aliner.com" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.aliner.com"><U><B>Aliner</b></U></A>.  Loved this little pop-up, especially since there is no canvas to worry about and at less than 1,000 lbs you can tow it with almost anything.  However, as I get older and require a bathroom during the night, a TT with toilet was desired.  Although Aliner, and counterpart Chalet, have units with a toilet/shower, it steals a lot of precious interior space that is already reduced by the sloped ceiling.  I still maintain a lot of affection for the ALINER and only sold it after using my Fun Finder a couple of times.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 217 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="0943ad30.jpg" border=0 width="314" height="211" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="442"><div> Our first camping trailer was an Allstate from the early 1960s (actually a Nimrod sold by Sears).  All canvas top, only mats inside for sleeping (very comfortable), and beat the heck out of being in a tent on the ground.  There were no amenities so needed all the standard tent camping equipment. We towed that camper (approx 400 lbs) all over the eastern USA; sometimes with a VW Bug.  Tons of room inside for suitcases and camping equipment.  Many happy times with the kids camping and traveling from Maine to Florida.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></I></div> <div> <I><B>Contact me </b></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I>(email optional)  </I></FONT></div> <div> <I> <form method="post" action="http://www.emailmeform.com/fid.php?formid=55835" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=FCode VALUE="4khcz4rn"> <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <td> <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"></font> <div style="" id="mainmsg"> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr valign="top"> <td nowrap><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Your Email Address</font></td> <td> <input type="text" name="FieldData0" value="" maxlength="100" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td nowrap><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Message</font></td> <td> <textarea name="FieldData1" cols="60" rows="4"></textarea><br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <table cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0 bgcolor="#E4F8E4" width="100%"> <tr bgcolor="#AAD6AA"> <td colspan="2"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Verdana" size="2"><b>Image Verification</b></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 2px;" width="10"><img src="http://www.emailmeform.com/turing.php" id="captcha"></td> <td valign="top"><font color="#000000">Please enter the text from the image</font> <br><input type="text" name="Turing" value="" maxlength="100" size="10"> [ <a href="#" onclick=" document.getElementById('captcha').src = document.getElementById('captcha').src + '?' + (new Date()).getMilliseconds()">Refresh Image</a> ] [ <a href="http://www.emailmeform.com/?v=turing&pt=popup" onClick="window.open('http://www.emailmeform.com/?v=turing&pt=popup','_blank','width=400, height=300, left=' + (screen.width-450) + ', top=100');return false;">What's This?</a> ] </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td align="right"> <input type="text" name="hida2" value="" maxlength="100" size="3" style="display : none;"> <input type="submit" class="btn" value="Send email" name="Submit"> <input type="reset" class="btn" value=" Clear " name="Clear"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=2 align="center"> <br> </td> </tr> </table> </form>  </I></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
