I have come to the point where I find what stops me from going camping as much is the packing, unpacking, set-up and tear down. So we are looking at travel trailers. I have also started looking at American companies as it seems the market is softer down there; which means savings.
I have been looking at smaller trailers, partially due to storage (less than 20 feet and I can store it in my back yard); and partially to keep the weight down to allow better flexibility in tow vehicles. I have also taken tent trailers out of the mix; I had one and didn't like it.
I'm wondering if anybody else has gone this route recently, and has some experiences to share. Specifically:
- Any "must have" items for the trailer? What about things you find are annoying about your current trailer?
- Has anybody bought one from the US and brought it back? How much of a hassle was it?
Of course the site I've been looking at for American Trailers
(link) talks about questions to ask; like why is a dealer charging so much more. Then one dealer here cautioned me about trailers not being CSA approved.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Edit- and the trailer I am looking at is this one for just under $10K:
