I'm convinced I have the best 22' trailer made.
Yeah, I'm probably a little first-time-RV-owner struck, but do check out this one;
Forrest River Rockwood 'Mini-Lite'
They have several models of these. Mine has no slide outs, and a Murphy bead. This is a bed that folds up at the head, to lie flat up against the front wall of the trailer, and a couch that serves as a support slides back and up, forming a nice living room style couch, and opening up a good sized piece of floor space in front of it.
There is a lot of storage under the couch, behind a removable kick panel. I have four large, flat-ish plastic bins that I slide in and out. Only down side; you have to fold up the bed to get to them, but that's not so bad, considering the amazing amount of space that you have in what DW and I call 'day mode'.
I really can't figure why the Murphy bed design is not used more in these small RV's. It's such a great space-saver.
The bath stretches across the whole back, and has a small tub, not just a shower. It's nice for just leaning over and washing your hair, as the tub contains splashes better than a shower bottom.
It has a microwave, three burner stove and oven, nice sinks, and beautiful cabinet work.
There is an outside shower, a grill that attaches to the side of the trailer, and hooks up to the propane supply.
I have two Yamaha generators, and they will run the air-conditioner, and the HD TV along with several lights. If I want to run the microwave, I shut off the AC for a minute.
I had a Wineguard 'Traveler' automatic satellite dish installed on the roof, but a portable type that sets up on a tripod would stow under the couch, and would actually give you better options to shoot your sats. If you have DirectTV, you can just take your home receiver with you.
Lot's of other nice features like both electric and propane settings for the hot water heater and fridge, outside speakers, a radio/DVD player, 30 gal black and grey tanks, 37 gallon fresh water, and the dinette turns into a kid bed. Our two boxers sleep on that. Well, most of the time.
Is it a stick and tin or a fiberglass & luaun type of trailer?
Thanks,
WoodGlue
I'd have to guess the latter. It's a 2013 model.
It has a really nice floor. Very tough, stain resistant, waterproof tiles that look like stone. The whole trailer only weighs 36000 lbs dry.
