Silverton is the perfect place to take delivery of a new camper. Nestled in the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado it is surrounded by national forest land. You could be camping just outside of town within minutes of making your purchase. It’s the perfect place to make as your base camp. Durango, Ouray, and Telluride are all nearby. The Million Dollar Highway and the narrow gauge railroad are right there. When the yellow sign says 10 mph you better keep it at 5 mph! No shoulder and no guard rail and a huge drop to uncertain death await you. If the sign says “ do not stop” then please keep it moving. You could cause a tragic accident or be crushed by a boulder in a heartbeat. There are rest areas with loads of parking and plenty of pull-outs to stop and enjoy the scenery or to let others pass by. Also be on the lookout for motorcycles as it’s adventure bike country. US 550 north and south of Silverton is considered one of the most dangerous paved roads in the entire world. It’s a blast to drive, but you better know your vehicle and have your brakes inspected before attempting it. Godspeed!
I am a big fan of these types of overland trailers. I would have to go camping way more than I do now to justify the purchase. This is a great option, though, if it's in your budget.
