Change of plans! Now I want a teardrop!
Some of you may remember me from a year ago when I was asking advice on towing with my Ford Escape. I previously decided to screw it and buy any TT I wanted and have a friend tow it to a campground fo...

I have already checked out all that stuff, i've really been researching this for months now, I just need to decide how much I want to spend, pretty much.
Yes 14G is a lot but I want something made by a company not a custom one made by some guy in his garage, lol Not saying they're not well made but I want to be able to call customer service if I need to, and also get accessories that go with it(I really want an awning that attaches to the side, etc.)
I want it mostly so I don't have to rent hotel rooms anymore, that's a good $500 every trip home (every other month). Camping can be as low as $10 a night, plus i'd still be able to cook myself which is why I always get hotels with kitchens but they're more than regular hotel rooms. In the winter when campgrounds are closed I have no choice but I could do this at least half the year. I can also take it all over the country to visit friends and have my own place to sleep. I also want to visit every state after I quit my job (years from now) and this will be the perfect trailer for that, since camping is so cheap, i'd only have to pay for gas, propane, and food! (and of course insurance, which i'm guessing would be a lot cheaper for this than for a normal sized RV).
I wouldn't be able to live in it full time, no, and I know that's what my original plan was, but as long as I have this job I won't be able to live in anything full time anyway, and this way I won't be leaving something unattended in a campground or RV park most of the time while i'm away at work (remember I work 6 weeks at a time, only home for 7 or 8 days after travelling).

Oh yes I remember you. :) That was a long thread. A teardop is far more realistic but to me $14,000 is insanity. Lets start at the beginning and find out how you will live.

Will you be in it all the time?
Will you move with the seasons?
Will you work?
Paint a picture of what you will be doing and how you will support yourself. The reason I ask is some think that they can air condition their rv in the middle of the desert in august and you can if you have the money. Not being nosy, but it will let everyone give their best ideas for you.
