I want to see a 20' full featured camper (may as well get a shower inside too unless you love showering out where the world can see......weird) come in at 2000lbs.
My empty 20' boat trailer with only 4 2x4 bunks on a bare frame weighs like 1200lbs and my old 16' ALL aluminum enclosed bare bones snowmachine trailer weighed about 1000lbs.
That would be the perfect travel trailer for sure. Heck that would be 30-50% lighter than most truck campers with the same features and they don't even have full frames or wheels.
The perfect camper like this will be made out of unobtanium because titanium is too heavy! However most are made out of Chineseium and much heavier.
The #1 so far is the Alto Safari R series. 17.5 but with the open concept has the feel of a 20ft. Add in all the windows and you have a very nice lost of depth of perception. Inside feels like outside., not shut in a box.
With my upgrades I"m at 1900lbs dry.
My number#2 is a box unit and if they'll do the Mods I want (ya that outside shower), get rid of the interior shower, do the twins w/table (which I do believe they will) and I actually don't want the bathroom wall (yup, I'm weird!). I'd rather have a half wall and privacy curtain there. And of course a couple more windows.
Yet to learn the weight, but expect 3500lbs +-
P.S. Showering outside does mean all can see you. They have these things called privacy curtains that work real well. LOL!
