Sorry to bump an old thread. Been a tent camper my whole life and after last summer, we've decided it's time to go to the dark side. I've been searching for a travel trailer for a bit now, and it has been frustrating to say the least. I know that features are a personal taste, but I'm finding it difficult to find something I personally like that I can afford. The one trailer we've found that we love, is an Airstream. Which is out of my price range.
So, I'm hoping that CP may have ideas on models that may word for our criteria.
things we are looking for in a camper trailer
- $30k max.
- 25 ft max. Some of the campsites we visit have size limits. Tofino for example has a 24ft limit. (that's the actual trailer and doesn't include the hitch)
- Windows. I'm finding that most trailers have some small side windows, but that's it. They're dark small spaces full of cabinets. This is what we find appealing about the airstreams The panoramic front windows let in a lot of natural light.
- hard sided. We sometimes camp where tents and tent trailers aren't allowed because of bears. Hybrids can be banned as well.
- sleeps 4 without having to use the dinette.
- we can camp when it's pretty chilly out.
things we don't like
- bedrooms.
- tons of cabinets. I'd rather have windows, and less storage. I never bring a lot while camping and it would drive me insane if my wife had that opportunity.
- Don't need a TV.
I will be towing with a truck, and usually be loaded down with bikes and gear. Can tow 10000 lbs gvwr.
