Traded my highly modified Xterra for a more family-friendly Pathfinder (that happens to have a V8!). As I modify the Pathfinder for my purposes - mostly camping at fairly accessible sites - I'm going to be building a camp trailer. My son and I just tent it at the moment and I haven't had him out anywhere very remote as he's only seven. I'd like to take him out more and more frequently as he grows and a modicum of comfort would go a long way to keeping him interested.
Anyway, I'm rambling. What would you prefer for your rigs? An expedition trailer with a roof top tent or a proper "teardrop" camper (converted enclosed trailer)? Cost and construction considerations are welcome variables. Fabrication isn't a huge issue, within reason. I'm cheap, so right out of the gate, buying a respectable RTT hurts my soul. I imagine gear would be easier to store and access with the open trailer though. What say you, please. Thank you for your responses.
