2005 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab NISMO 4WD and...
upgrading from a 2005 Fleetwood Utah CP.
Truck is rated at 6100# towing and 600 on the tongue.
The Utah is a big Popup. Never had any issues towing it with full water and gear.
Initial search started with an Rpod 179 made here locally in Oregon.
Wife wanted to see what else is out there that would have more storage.
Love the Lance 1685 but is pricey and very polarizing reviews. A bit higher in price point and would go here if the Lance is not a problem product.
Jay Feather, Solaire, Palomini. Meh on the "looks" of the quality online. Forest River has some options. Overwhelming.
So this is where I need your expertise. 6100# towing capacity minus 2 adults, 1 9 y.o. kid, and cargo. When dry camping we fill up close to our destination and do not tow the weight over the Cascades. A lot of full hookup camping.
Thinking somewhere in the 4500# area for a hard wall.
Did look at some of the hybrids and I am not interested due to wet fabric and storing issues trying to dry the wetness.
So ultra light weight. permanent queen bed. Wish list is a slide and bunk house config but would be fine with a large dinette conversion.
Ideas ??? Thanks
