Largest, Cheapest Class A or Travel Trailer?

For purposes unrelated to my own personal RVing in my truck camper, I need to find the largest, cheapest Class A or travel trailer.

Looking for:

*Lots and lots of seating. At least 3 couches. I could take out something easy to remove and secure an Ikea couch in there also if needed. Seats and couches everywhere. No dinette necessary.

*All those couches should convert and it should sleep 6-8

*As much tankage and hot water as possible.

*Minimal kitchen and bedroom. As much space as possible devoted to seating.

*Open to class A or Travel trailer

*Modern looking but built of low quality is ok

Anything come to mind?

    I like the idea of one of those "executive" type buses....all lounges, one or two head's and a small kitchen. If its only going to be set up in one location, even the highest mileage units could be considered. Good Luck in your quest in finding just the right fit!

    Try toy haulers. Most come with sofas in the cargo area that can be lifted out of the way and lowered when needed. They come in bumper pull, 5th wheel, and Class A (Thor Outlaw and Neumar) configurations.


    This is good advice. Never looked at these before but they already dedicate a large area to being empty (with optional seating). Also, takes no build out. You could easily anchor Ikea furniture in the open area and the fit and finish of the whole interior is up to standard.

    I doubt you will find exactly what you are seeking. It will probably take some minor mods, installing couches etc..
    Search CL and Ebay. I'm sure you can find something close to what fits your needs.



    Exactly what I'm thinking.

    I didn't know if people had an idea of a behemoth I could start with. Like one that comes to mind as having a couple couches already where I could pull out an island or a dinette and drop an additional couch or 2 in.

    Thanks for the constructive input. Much appreciated. I was a little insulted by the guy saying it's for human trafficking. My apologies to the readers for that.

    It's supposed to look very nice inside like a brand new travel trailer would. I don't have the time or skills to build anything out at that level of finish. So unfortunately the project ideas are out. It's got to be turn key.

    Mobile office trailer. You’d have to add the furniture and the tanks, but up to 12x60 size.

    I think you have a good idea. right there, but I would look for a used city bus. Easy to gut and install whatever furnishing he wants.
