trailer with tent living/ sleeping?

[Atti]

Does anyone know of a small off-road type trailer that has cushioned seats with removable table that converts to bed - with a screened tent over it? and a stand up tent room next to it?
I thought I saw something online in the distant past... but maybe I imagined it.

Try Livin-lite campers. I think that's what you might be talking about.

Thanks, that might be it.

you might also be thinking about a jumping jack trailer http://www.jumpingjacktrailers.com/index.html

The Jumping Jack table doesn't convert to a bed, but if you get the full set of bed extensions, they can be used both to widen the beds on both sides of the trailer, and as benches for the table (not at the same time, though). When used as seats for the table, you can easily seat four adults. When used as bed extensions, you can sleep four adults, with room for a couple more on the floor, if needed. If kids are sitting/sleeping in the JJ, you may be able to squeeze in one or two more than the number of adults that will fit (depending on the sizes of the kids).

The Jumping Jack looks close to what I was thinking (small, off road). Too bad I don't see any interior shots or specs/floor plan on their website.

The Fleetwood Element Neon also looks like a possibility.

The first thing that came to my mind is the trailer that Jeep is marketing now. You can probably find it on their website. My local stealership has one in their showroom.

What would it be towed by?

The Jumping Jack looks close to what I was thinking (small, off road). Too bad I don't see any interior shots or specs/floor plan on their website.

Go to the accessories page, and scroll down to the tent carpet picture. The picture was taken from the inside corner closest to the door and the view is looking diagonally across the trailer. One bed is in the lower left corner of the picture, while the other is on the upper right side of the picture (behind the bench).

It's not the greatest interior shot, but at least it shows the general layout (table in the center with a bed on each side). The benches are also the bed extensions. Only one comes standard with the trailer, but the picture shows a total of four (two seats and two backs). The seats stay where they are, and the backs can be moved next to the seats for the full bed extension.

For a drawing of the layout with the bed extensions in various places, check out the instruction manual, page 4, setup section (there's other good info there, too):

I'm not sure what it would be towed by yet, probably a one ton truck.

I'm not even sure this is the way I want to go.

DH and I are hoping to go mobile for 6 months, a year, forever? Basically living and working while moving between wilderness areas in the western states.
My thinking first was to go with a small-ish truck camper and tow a small trailer to expand living and sleeping area (instead of going with a big truck camper and dually).

Just researching the options at this point.

Still haven't answered what you are towing with?
