looking for TT manufacture recomendation for dry camping

Hello campers and happy new year! My wife and I are looking to purchase a new TT. We currently have a 27',4X4 motor home that works great but, 8mpg, no mobility once camped and very slow rough ride on the dirt roads.

We have a specific way we like to camp and most campers will not work well. We pretty much only dry camp in national or state forests for a few days in a row. It will probably never be used in a camp ground with connections. We like to go to the end of the dirt road and explore from there. Here are some of the qualities I'm looking for. I'd like to keep the overall length below 21'. This is so I can get it turned around at the end of the road:) It needs to sit high, have good amounts of storage and water holding capacity. It only needs to sleep two. We need air conditioning and a generator. I would probably install solar panels and extra battery.

Thank you all for your help,

Gary

  • Rethink...
    We have small m/h and also have 30 trailer.
    Some of our best out of the way, end of logging road type places we no longer fit. First time you have to back down a long narrow logging road, you'll be missing the small m/h.
    Was going to sell m/h But it came in to handy,
  • I have done plenty of dry camping down dirt roads with my KZ. It's nothing fancy, but doesn't have a price tag that rivals luxury automobiles either.

    Did a suspension mod on it last year and picked up 4-5 inches of ground clearance.

    Saving a lot of $ on trailer let me spend it on batteries, inverter, generator and other stuff to make it a self sufficient camping unit.
