Oregon is dry camping heaven
70 % of our usage is without hookups.
much of that is real boondocking .
here is the sales pitch .
we had 3 prior rv's
after considerable research we found the most suitable rig for that was a 21T Komfort brand trailer which we ordered new.
among its qualifications are :
6 inch tall steel frame
shock absorbers
7200 # gvw capacity on the axles , Light weight is about 4700 #
lots of reserve capacity for payload
more ground clearance than our nomad , fleetwood, or beaver.
50 plus 6 fresh , 45 grey , 45 black .
5 skylights, larger windows ,
foam insulation instead of loose fibreglass,
an extra 4-5 " of headroom , day /night shades ,
tub with sliding accordian shower door ,
spare tire under the trailer , cranks down ,
plywood instead of OSB , lots of mirrors ,
30 inch wide door
komfort weighs more than other brands of the same length .
some of that weight has to be due to more structure .
ours has held up well in this gravel road type usage.
my friend tried a lightweight trailer and it virtually disassembled itself .
he was ready to sell it after about 6 years and then his wife Judy rolled the grand cherokee with the trailer solving his problem .
both walked away with minor cuts and abrasions.
the insurance company paid off .
for gravel road camping i have found load range E tires of a larger size works best for the tow vehicle and the TT .
