My trailer is an 06 Raptor and at some point I want to buy new again,but will it be made better,and serve my needs better.Please feel free to ad on to my wish list.
1 Total loaded weight around 15k- 18k.
2 water cap around 100 to 150.Black and gray to match.
3 total max length 40ft.
4 Garage 14ft if enclosed,open-whatever,both styles are needed.
5 I like a three axle ride,esp if on rough roads or sand
6 7k 16in axles, overbuild with air ride suspension
7 Fiberglass sides with as little graphics as possible,Arizona
pinstripping is a PITA.
8 good clearance at rear(i have a 3ft skid plate on mine)
9 4 batts,and quality Inverter/charger 3000w pure sine wave,all receptacles hooked working
10 I like the option of having elec or gas refig,esp if under trees for a week or 2... but make it BIG,or 2nd refrig.
11 5500 genny with 2 hvac or 7k possible,Fuel injected
12 All leds
13 A liveable interior with King bed in main bedroom
14 Nice size bathroom..Nothing fancy,but nice.corian ok,no granite,no glass bowl-sinks, make it last not showy. One bathroom,who wants to clean 2....
15 2 motor landing gear
16 Proven slide system ..I Like bedroom and living room slides..Be able to use bathroom w/o using slide, and able to get to refrig w/o using slide....Not possible in most of new TH....
17 LT tires name brand...
18 Fiberglass roof
------------------------------------------------------------
Some of that is what I want...some not...so who is WE?
#1 on my list - Quality construction!
Your specs are too heavy for my desires, I only want 2 axles, don't want enormous garage, don't need king sized bed...but I'm not everyone, so there should be options.
I wish I had option of electric fridge when boondocking for if propane runs out.
A high quality solar system that really works would be nice.
Whats advantage of 2 motor landing gear? Glad you didn't put self-level....every one I've seen has too little clearance.
I agree with 2, 6, 7, 8 (I had ours lifted 2" via subframe=awesome), 9 - (6 volts I assume), 11 (ours has 5500 Onan only 1 AC cuz in Colo), 12, 14, 16 (we have no island in ours and can walk through entire trailer with slides in - we have only 1 LR slide and 1 BR slide (wardrobe) = enough, 17 (FOR SURE!!), 18 (sounds good but not sure advantages?)
Something else I want - we have 2 fuel tanks. One for fuel station one dedicated to genny. I have no way to extract fuel from genny tank. Can't siphon..its blocked. 2nd pump would be great.
Some things I DONT want - Granite, fireplace, 2nd fridge, to hafta open slides to get to fridge and to have a place to sit.
