I will be pulling this camper to a destination and leaving it for three months for a major surgery. I will be leaving in the trailer for a good 3-5 months. However, family will be coming at different times to help me. At any one time there may be 4-5 people in the camper but when family members rotate out there will be some overlap where there will be around 8 people in the camper for short durations.
Initially, we are purchasing the trailer to use it and get use to being in the trailer. I will just tow it within 50-60 miles from the house initially to obtain this experience but with just my wife and two kids. I am not planning on putting anything in the storage compartments for short weekend excursions. These items will be packed in a separate vehicle that my wife will drive with the kids. I will limit what has to be put in the TT.
The long tows I will use a friends 3/4 ton truck to tow the TT.
