Advice on buying a travel trailer for lakeside site
Hello all!
Brand new to the forum and to TTs in general. Currently residing in Toronto, ontario, Canada. Hope you're all doing well!
I recently took over an lease site (lakeside, flat, near Haliburton, Ontario) and im looking to put a travel trailer on it.
Was hoping to get some advice on what models to look at.
My criteria:
Will most likely be buying a used unit as my budget is somewhat limited.
Would like to keep it under 12000 but could possibly go up to 15000.
We are a couple in our 30s, no kids, but would have guests.
Can go up to 35' in length. Would like a spacious interior.
Would like a big slide with couch, dinette and a couple recliners. (If anything could sacrifice the dinette)
Good layout for entertaining or for watching tv.
Parked on a non electrical/plumbing site with direct access to a nice little lake, so hopefully a water pump + propane fridge, etc (is this standard?)
Will most likely be stationary unless we buy a truck years in the future.
Can run a genny during the day and will use a moderate amount of electricity at night. Will eventually put solar panels on the property (south facing property) but maybe not for a few years.
Queen+ bed, walkaround preferred
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this my needs/wants in mind, what makes/models would you suggest?
(I realize i put a lot of bullet points up but figured more is better than less)
Any input i very much appreciated, thanks in advance!
