I have a 23 ft with one slide and bunks for the kids. Double axles were a must. The single width bunks may be too narrow when the boys reach full size, but by then I doubt we will be going on long trips together often. Mine also has two doors which helps a lot with the traffic flow with two pre-teen boys. I wanted a less than 20 ft trailer originally but could not find a double axle that small in my market. We go out for about 4-5 weeks each summer and a while I very occasionally wish for a smaller one, just 1-2 rainy days trapped in a trailer with two 13-year-old boys makes me glad I went for the extra space. Rarely when spending several days in one place I want a little more room, but when I pull it I'm glad I did not over stretch my tow vehicle capacity.
We have that same trailer on order. We have just one daughter - 11 now - and also will be pulling with an f150, although ours is a 5.0. Can you share your experience so far as far as towing, fit and finish, trailer size, and anything else that comes to mind? How is the Murphy bed, and did you add/replace the factory mattress? Just interested is all. The floor plan looks right for us and my wife loves it (happy wife...) so feedback would be helpful. Thanks lantanatx.
