Hello!
So I have been working festivals a lot, and now I'm ready to take the show on the road! We do lots of camping in a tent, then we started to sleep in the van, now we are ready to just spend our time in a decent travel trailer. In the summer we were going festival to festival. We've been though some heart aches and so we need to take some time to travel, see family, escape the winter to Florida!
I want to spend a year traveling. I am home schooling my son.
I have been looking at used travel trailers.
I really want one that has a queen bed in front then the bunk beds in the back. I need a decent kitchen table area to do paperwork on the computer, store a decent amount of food, be able to be self suficient if we camp at an event that does not have hook ups.
At first I was looking at Suv's that towed about 5000 lbs, but I guess that is not really going to pull what we are looking at?
I looked at some new ones at the dealership just to get an idea of size. The smallest we could go would be a 30 foot BH with a slide out. However I feel that a big old v8 Ford excursion would be so freakin big, especially if it's just me and my son most of the time. Any suggustions? adive? THANK YOU!
Once you find out the weight of the TT I think you may want to look at the V-10 Ford Excursion, most have a tow rating of 9500lbs or a 2500 Suburban. Some smaller SUV's will claim to have have enough tow rating, but I would be more concerned about stopping and the wear and tear on the TV.
