Our Sportsmobile was totaled after it was sideswiped last November. A replacement has a three year waitlist and costs more than twice what we paid in 2011. Both nonstarters so we're retooling, which means our Adventure Overland Chaser trailer needs a new home. It's the ultimate overland trailer, an Expedition Portal award winner and packed with the features below. The trailer was not involved in the accident. Instead, it was safely parked under the carport at home where it has always lived when not on the road. $13,000 in Santa Fe.
