After about a seven year hiatus from camping, I'm getting back into it
again. Seemed a shame to let all of the camping gear go to waste. :)

Anyway, this was the inaugural trip with my new Sylvansport Go trailer.
Loved it. I have reservations for the Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center
State Park during the long weekend in June. Can't wait!

Congrats! I did a search for your model camper and it looks like it would be easy to tow. Are you using the cargo area up top to haul any gear? Looks like you can take it anywhere.

It is a breeze to tow, in fact I hardly notice it at all. Makes 0% impact on my gas mileage. In fact, I think it actually improves it by 1 mpg or so. :)

Just came back from Anastasia State Park about two weeks ago. My next trip is down to John Pennekamp in Key Largo. I have reservations mid October for that. That'll round out this year's camping. I have other travel plans for November/December. Need to start looking for campsites for 2027 now.

I'll use this GO for a few years...once I retire I'll move up to something like a Tab 360CS. I plan on doing some traveling and would want to be able to just pull in, level and hook up. :) At least that's my plans anyway.

I've not stayed there, but I pass by it when I go to visit my Dad. He lives there in the Villages.
