First time poster. First time RVer.
We decided to find something our Tacoma V6 could tow. We do not wan't a "home on wheels" Just something small where spending more time outside is key. With that we decided after reading a lot the Fiberglass Casitas, Scamp, Oliver is the way we want to go. We do like the AirStream Bambi but $40K is a bit much for a small trailer.
To many horror stories and we don't know enough about what to look for with a stick built as far as leaks go.
Does anyone have any reason a 16' fiberglass TT would not be the best choice for V6 hauling
Thousands of used Airstreams out there. Aerodynamics, not weight, is what matters with trailers. Keep this brand in mind as ten years old barely qualifies as "used" much less "old". The other brands mentioned are nice enough, but be inclusive. Independent suspension on any trailer is worth having, trailers without it are lesser vehicles.
Finally, matching trailer to tow vehicle is backwards. Choose the trailer, and then fit the TV. For me, a wet bath and impermanent beds is too small. Same for tandem versus single axle. It isn't much of a size change, relatively, to have these in a "small" trailer.
Good luck.
