The thing is 90% of the time, our camper is perfect for the traveling that we do. There is just that 8% where a "camping camper" would be nice over our "traveling camper" and then there is that 2% that the big camper doesn't fit where we want to go and then I tent it. This is a curiosity more than a need or even something that I feel strongly enough on acting immediately.
Nothing wrong with thinking it out.
We started with a 20ft TT which after we bought it we discovered major amount of rot damage.. Fixed it up with new interior including all ne upper cabinets.
Then we realized that the space and layout was not all that great so we toyed with the wish list of things we wanted like a queen bed in a bedroom, a full size bed and a twin bunk. We could not find anything in sizes under 31ft.
So, I spent a lot of time drawing out different layouts unit I managed to fit it into a 26ft length.
Then the plan was to build from scratch.. Had a frame builder lined up but before we pulled the trigger I found a 26ft TT for $800.. It was severely water damaged but it had most of what we needed (windows and all that).
So.. 2 1/2 years later we had a trailer which fits our needs, this Summer marks the 7th year we have been using our customized trailer!

So with a little luck that link will work for you.. Google kind of messes with pictures in that PDF so the only way to fully veiw the pictures is download to your PC and open with your Adobe reader.
