And that\u2019s okay\u2014you know the saying: \u201cGood things come in small packages.\u201d But other campers need a few more square feet when they are on the road or want a camper that\u2019s a little more family-size. If that sounds like you, then it\u2019s time to check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/nucamprv.com\/avia-camper\/\">AVIA (\u00e4h-vee-uh) Travel Trailer<\/a>\u2014one of our newest additions to the nuCamp family!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At 28 feet, it\u2019s the biggest of our trailers, with the kind of style and amenities not normally associated with campers. And while we happen to think the AVIA is the most stylish camper on the road, we might be just a little biased! So we decided to reach out to two new AVIA owners to ask them why they chose our new camper for their road-tripping RV adventures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Tom Zibinski and Nancy Lauby<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11990 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tom-Zibinski-with-AVIA-3.jpg\" alt=\"Tom Zibinski with His AVIA\" width=\"568\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tom-Zibinski-with-AVIA-3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tom-Zibinski-with-AVIA-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tom-Zibinski-with-AVIA-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tom-Zibinski-with-AVIA-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tom Zibinski and his wife Nancy Lauby bought their AVIA after looking at many trailers at the Hershey PA RV show. What were some of the factors that tipped the scales in the AVIA\u2019s favor?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe European styling inside, kind of sailboat-like, appealed to us as did the innovative screens and shades, and a large amount of well-designed, large windows,\u201d said Tom\u2014the latter, he noted, making the interior more light-filled than many of those trailers and motorhomes owned by friends. This aspect was particularly appealing to the couple, since, as Tom explained, \u201cWe were coming from 20-plus years of using a good-sized pop-up which was windows all around.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that they prefer boondocking over staying at conventional campgrounds with hook-ups, the couple valued the solar panels as well as the refrigerator that could run on propane, battery or shore-line power. The expansive interior storage also got high marks, along with the power stabilizers, hitch controller and awning that Tom said made it \u201ca cinch to set up at arrival and get going in the morning\u2014something that makes a tent-trailer awful for day-to-day traveling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tom especially appreciated the technology and design during their first two weeklong boondocking trips. \u201cThe lighting inside and out is exceptional,\u201d he said. \u201cBeing a music fan, the extensive stereo system inside and out was a big hit with me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, Tom admitted that they were a little concerned about buying one of the first of a new model, \u201cbut we had a lot of confidence in the dealership we would be using: the small but very capable<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.millertrailersales.net\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miller Trailer Sales in Perkasie, PA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which sells exclusively nuCamp.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Tom noted there were some issues\u2014\u201csome related to our never having a travel trailer before, especially one with so much electrical stuff and systems,\u201d he explained\u2014he praised the dealership for its help and support in correcting any items that needed to be addressed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI never thought this would come from me but there is a real beauty to the thing,\u201d Tom said. \u201cI had always thought travel trailers were just utilitarian aluminum boxes. Overall, the AVIA just has a high-end feel to it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Charles and Mary Cagle<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11989 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Mary-and-Chuck-Cagle-with-AVIA.jpg\" alt=\"Mary and Chuck Cagle with their AVIA\" width=\"543\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Mary-and-Chuck-Cagle-with-AVIA.jpg 2016w, https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Mary-and-Chuck-Cagle-with-AVIA-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Mary-and-Chuck-Cagle-with-AVIA-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Mary-and-Chuck-Cagle-with-AVIA-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Mary-and-Chuck-Cagle-with-AVIA-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Tom and his wife Nancy, Charles and Mary Cagle also did a fair bit of trailer-shopping before they settled on the AVIA. As Charles explained, \u201cQuality and comfort were the major factors in our decision-making,\u201d and when they entered the AVIA traveler, they found both in abundance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe stylish craftsmanship inside and out, the high-quality materials used in the manufacturing and the brilliant and innovative comfortable interior arrangements and design all combined for us to make a quick decision to purchase an AVIA trailer,\u201d said Mary. \u201cOur elegant \u2018hotel suite on wheels\u2019 made our travels comfortable and fun. nuCamp\u2019s AVIA body design is so distinctive that it drew attention from many people throughout our travels.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a short delay while they waited for new axles to be installed, the couple headed out on the road for a three-month journey, pulling the AVIA with their new 2018 Ram 1500 Eco-Diesel 4&#215;4. And while they did have to go back to the factory after what Charles referred to as \u201can unfortunate accident with a ditch and a tree stump,\u201d even that return visit received high praise from him for the fast personal attention that they received.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe never have had such excellent customer service and friendly employee relationships with any company with which we have done business,\u201d said Charles, applauding the nuCamp team for providing clear and helpful answers to any questions or problems as well as taking exceptional pride in their workmanship. \u201cnuCamp builds excellent, high-quality trailers along with having the finest quality of customer service with people who really care about their products and their customers who use those products.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any new parents, the Cagles were more than willing to show off their new \u201cbaby\u201d to other RV-ers they met along the way. They provided tours of the AVIA as they journeyed from Ohio to their home in San Francisco, with stops in New England, Kentucky, Missouri, New Mexico, Utah and Oregon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe pulled our AVIA for more than 11,000 miles on our nearly three-month adventure,\u201d said Charles, \u201cand arrived home with memories we will never forget!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some RV-ers prefer the petite size of the TAB and TAG.
