I have been to the last two ExPo events at Fort Collins, CO where I have seen a lot of trailers oriented for adventurous travels. I currently own a Taxa Tiger Moth (base edition) which I pulled with my Honda Accord mainly. These days I'm doing deep sand Surf Fishing and more remote places mainly in the central USA with a lifted hardcore Toyota Tacoma. I could retrofit the Overland features to my Tiger Moth but, I don't think it would hold up to my travels right now and I want to preserve it for gentler travels to tractor shows, state parks, and similar stuff.
Most of the Adventurous overland trailers I have seen were in the mid-$30K range and up which is more than I want to spend. I get they typically have better kitchens, on-board water, outside showers, and similar features. Solar power and compressor fridges (ARB, Truma, etc.) are easy enough to add so I don't see that as a significant difference.
With the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension, 16" wheels/tires, lock-n-roll hitch, and a sub-$20K price, this one has my attention. I will be doing a Roof Top Tent and awning so, in the end, I will be in the upper teens to possibly kissing $20K.
Basically, I'm looking at a pseudo-backpacking experience that isn't a ground tent with some comforts and storage. I have ruled out a RTT on my Tacoma for several reasons FWIW.
What are the general thoughts and opinions of the Taxa Wooly Bear trailers, specifically in the Overland flavor? What other trailers should I consider? General thoughts pro or con?
TIA,
