Greetings, We were tent campers for 35 years. I backpack and still pitch the tent sometimes. Wife sure enjoys the motorhome if (usually) she gets up during he night. Still have "real" Coleman stove, lantern, and ice box. Made several trips around country and to Europe where we flew with our camping gear, rented a car, and camped for a week or two. One time when we were camping at a state park on the Oregon coast we were meandering through the campground to see how everyone else does it. Stopped at a site where man and wife were enjoying a glass of wine. Looked at their coach. He said, "Have you ever seen one of these?" I said no. It was a Trek. Trek is unique. No bedroom - queen size bed comes down from the ceiling at night. Space of a 38 foot coach in a 24 - 29 foot coach. Lots of space in the living room area. Full-size bathroom. Quality coach. Lots of storage. We enjoy USFS and state park campgrounds. That did it for me. We now own a 2003 Monaco Safari Trek 2810. We found it in Iowa in 2009, and purchased it in February. Flew out in May and drove it back to Oregon. Still working. Planning several trips to places we have visited and plan to spend more time. Al Gladstone, OR 2003 Monaco Safari Trek 2810 8.1 GM Gas

Couple years ago we came west from Iowa (after picking up our coach) and spent almost a week in Colorado Springs. We were there for nephew's graduation from Air Force Academy and then wedding to a cadet 3 days later. It was sort of a family reunion time. We stayed at Garden of the Gods RV Park. It was very nice and very clean, but a little more expensive that usual for us. We tend to be state park folks, sometimes KOA. There are some nice state parks nearby. Garden of the Gods has a breakfast many mornings and it is very reasonable. Local bus stops nearby and we rode it downtown and to old Colorado City. I would highly recommend Garden of the Gods.
