Like to Camp
The Basecamp looks great in those pictures above. (Thanks!) I currently tow a box trailer with an RTT on top of it behind a two-door Jeep. I can take it about anywhere, but… we live in the midwest and there are few places to take that kind of a trailer.
The wife and I have talked about eventually moving to a travel trailer, and frankly I'd go to say a 23' or 26' Airstream, figuring that would be our first and last travel trailer. But with this Basecamp, it sure would be easy to tow and park for quick, short trips, being that we still work full-time, have plenty to other things to worry about, and that we are far from retiring. Plus it would probably hold it's value well, not to mention its style and quality until we did buy a larger Airstream. (Just dreaming!)

Agreed. Even though not too heavy this is really a trailer for a full size tow rig, IMO... due to that tongue weight

Seems well built and solid. Perhaps it's more durable than I first thought. If you could swap out the suspension to give it some additional clearance, you might be able to transform it into a fairly nimble trailer.
I wonder if there's room in that bath to swap in a composting toilet?

While theses aren't really composting toilets, there is probably enough room to fit one of these:

or one of the "Nature Head" toilets:

If you haven't already, check out the Olivers. They are better than an Airstream, no doubt about it. The question is if you can live with the compact dimensions and high cost. They are designed and built to be passed on to your kids and their kids.
