Just starting to research trailers. As my wife and I approach the empty nest days, we look to travel more. She does not sleep in a tent willingly and does not do any offroading beyond maybe a difficult forest service road. We plan to camp remotely for a couple days at a time them get a motel room and cleanup/ get more supplies, then go back out again.
So here is my perfect teardrop, with the above in mind.
-Queenbed, ceiling vent/ fan
-5X9 or 5x10 offroad frame
-Big doors with lots of screen space, front window
-On board water, 10 gal will do
-Small 12 volt rechargeable system with on board 12 volt, do not need 110 though
-Batteries- enough juice for 3 days' dry camping, wife will use a 12v electric blanket
-Galley space and tie downs for a Yeti, do not need a 12 volt fridge
-Propane storage with external hookup for bbq
-Galley drawer for removable 2 burner stove, usable for other storage as well
-Heavier duty axle, full offroad suspension (no torsion axle) and larger tires, pintle hitch system
-Dry weight around 1500 or less
-What we dont need: heater, a/c, stereo, shore power, etc
-Well made at a reasonable price (12-15k)
Any and all advice is welcome! What options are there out there?
