Help me choose boondocking/national park TT
We gave our PUP to family this summer. It couldn't handle the road miles anymore and needed to be relegated to local camping. We have wanted to upgrade to a TT for a while, but the time is getting close. I moved up to a F-250 gasser so I'm good on any TT in consideration for my needs so that isn't an issue.
We've always camped national parks and prefer rustic and dry camped occassionally with the PUP but no boondocking. I was transferred to AZ this year and now boondocking on public land is at my finger tips. I've discovered the washboard roads at Kofa Wildline Refuge and other similiar areas so I know I need a stout trailer.
Only brands we are considering are Northwood and Outdoors RV. I relocate every few years with work so I need to consider more than just wide open camping in the West.
How long is too long? I have no desire to go over 30' (hitch to ladder) but is that already too long?
For those familiar with Outdoors RV, how much bettter is the Black Rock line for washboard roads and camping on public lands?
For Northwood, is Nash up to the task or stick to Arctic Fox? Nash has a better selection of shorter TTs.
Family of four. Two adults, two older teens (14 and 17). Sleeping quarters for teens is what keeps pushing me from 25' to 28-30'. Love that picture window on the back as well which limits options.
The decision is all about opporutunity costs: picture window, short length for boondocking and old public parks, access to bathroom with slide in, sleeping accoodations for teens, etc.
Any feedback is appreciated or if I'm missing a manufacturer that belongs in the discussion.
