I have the 2017 Woolly Bear and for our purposes it is almost perfect, here is an album from one of my trips -

I was between the Tiger Moth and the Woolly Bear for similar reasons, I thought my wife would be more amenable to camping during Texas summers if we had a more traditional RV that I could hook air conditioning up to so was leaning toward the Tiger Moth despite it not being my style but we discussed it at length and both agreed that there would be times she would still just prefer not to go camping and inevitably I would regret purchasing something I didn't really want leading to guilt trips and general household disharmony so Woolly Bear it was.
First up, the things that can be improved:
- the trailer neck is way too short so backing it up is a complete PITA
- the ball coupler is welded on (insert swearing here) so to swap to a more off-road friendly hitch would mean taking a cutting wheel to it
- there isn't currently a good solution for getting an awning over the kitchen area but Taxa are working on a way to use a height adjustable truck bed ladder rack to lift the RTT along with an awning while at camp to have the height for an awning
- the rear drawer isn't wired with power for a fridge nor does it have pre drilled holes to do so yourself so I hated having to drill into a brand new trailer but it was worth it
Mods I have done:
- Ran wiring for a fridge in the rear drawer including an outdoor outlet to hook up to mains power for when in the garage or at a park with hookups, the fridge automatically switches from 12v to mains if mains is available
- I used anderson power pole connectors for both the fridge wiring and another pigtail to easily hook my solar setup to the battery
- Upgraded the ****ty trailer tires to BFG AT KO2
Now for why I love it:
- Gear storage & organization, now I have all my "overlanding" gear stored on the trailer ready to go, I'm still bedding down the best way to organize things but have it close to being able just to hook up, stop at a store for food & beer and then go camping
- The RTT while still needing a decent amount of attention to setup & breakdown mainly due to all the awning sections is much more sturdy than most ground tents, it doesn't break a sweat in bad storms and can usually even have the window flaps open to enjoy the breeze, plus of course the 2" memory foam is great
- It is super light weight so easy to maneuver by hand but I do wish it had some form of a brake on the tongue for when doing so on a slope as otherwise on your own it can be a bit dicey getting wheel chocks in place
- there is plenty of storage including plenty of rack space on the top and an accessory hitch on the rear to put on something like a bike rack
- I barely notice it when towing due to how light it is even fully loaded
- There are other things I know I love about it but I need more coffee for my brain to be able to compose & type more
