It's tough to switch from a Dometic to a Nomadic due to the size of the openings required. Going from a Nomadic to a Dometic would probably be pretty easy (if someone wanted to do that). Even though they cost a little more, the Nomadic does seem like it would be more durable. Even though it may...
One year Update on Caravan XL:
After one year of full time living in the trailer, everything is working great. We have had some speed bumps along the way, but they have been mostly from the component manufacturers.
For anyone looking at these trailers, the good news is that the owner, Jamin...
Nice! We're getting to a point where we could have a Kingdom Camping owners' group or a even a rally.🙂
I think I forgot to mention to you before: If you can, see if you can swap a Nomadic 12v AC for the Dometic RTX 2000 12v. The Nomadic costs a little more, but it's a better product. We had a...
We'll be watching this mid-sized trailer develop. If/when we ever build a house again and stop living in the trailer fulltime, we'll look at something lightweight for "vacation" living like normal people.
We're camped out near Huntington, UT now. Last night it got down to 20 degrees. When we went to bed, it was 60 degrees inside the trailer. When we woke up it was 48 degrees inside. We turned on the heat for 15 minutes this morning to get it back up to 60 degrees (we like it cooler, especially...
The goal is to tow with the smallest vehicle you can safely get away with based on your trailer size and payload needs. We're in a bigger trailer than yours and boondock 100% of the time, so we not only need the extra towing capacity, but also need the extra payload of a truck. Dog food, water...
There is a post up on that FB page about how the cabinets are pulling away from the walls. There are photos of all the places you can sink additional screws to help out, but still don't carry anything "heavy" in them when traveling.
Just remember, there's much more to being off road capable than just clearance. We see a lot of trailers with flipped springs and other adjustments that give them plenty of clearance. How well a trailer can articulate over obstacles and handle extended wash board roads is more important. An off...
They are a good alternative to Airstream, but the suspensions aren't great. They use the MorRyde 3000. Not a great option for off road. Their frames are solid though.
It really depends on how you intend to camp. Airstream would be fine if you'll be staying in campgrounds for the most part. You pay a premium for their brand, but they've never been known for superior performance when it comes to suspension, solar panel capability, electrical system (typically...
We've been living in it fulltime since last April, and it's been great. It's the prototype, so there were a lot of little issues that we've modified and passed on to Jamin. He's addressing them all in future builds. On the most important performance items (chassis, suspension, solar, cold/hot...
