I recently had the opportunity to purchase a Fleetwood Neon from a fellow ExPo member. I had been looking at off-road trailers, Neon's, Dinoots, etc for a long time, occasionally showing a picture to the wife to test the water's and see her response. I thought it would be at least another year before I was able to get an off-road worthy trailer/camper until I came across the Neon for sale. In passing I mentioned it to the wife, and a few weeks later I was on my way back from Georgia with my new to me Fleetwood Neon.
Sorry for the cell phone picture:
What specifically drew us to this camper was its compact size while still having two beds. We were not interested in fancy amenities, as we both have been tent campers. Primarily this camper will be a staging point for our family adventures. We have a toddler and want her to spend as much time traveling as she grows up, just as we both did. I want to design and modify this camper to increase its functionality and also beef it up for the occasional off-road adventure.
The trailer already has a new 3500 lb axle, the fenders were raised, and it sits on 245/70/17 BFG AT's. The previous owner put on an ARB rear awning.
Immediate plans include:
Replacing the tongue jack
Replacing the stabilizers (they are not long enough and are a pain to adjust)
12v Fuse Box with some interior 12v and USB charging ports.
Some sort of tongue box
Softening up the suspension
