Looking to find a trailer for friend

The table is not the main bed. I'll call my brother and relay the info to you.

AJBert, can you find out what brand that your brother saw. That is the setup he is seeking. They don't want to have the table be a main bed.

His tow vehicle is a newer ford explorer which he said has a tow rating of 4200lbs. His budget is 16K or less. Not looking to upgrade TV so what ever he gets has to work with the Explorer. basically he is tired of the setup and lack of storage you have with a popup. So hybrid is within budget but he would rather get a full hardsided unit. They camp mainly at sites in NY with elec and water hookups on 3 to 4 day stays. The may join us on our PA camping. I know a hard side with those weight limits are rare ,that is why I am asking the forum community to give suggestions. I do not think they will buy from the Ohio sites so it has to be something local to WNY.

Your friend may want a hard sided TT but less than 3300 lbs and two kids he may be better severed with a Hybrid.

Need more detail on what he wants.

Saw what you are looking for at the CO Sportsman Show last week in Denver. As I recall the dry weight was about 2900 lbs. Queen bed up front, bunks in back with a dinette that could be made into a bed. It was a brand I'm not familiar with but my brother was very interested in it.

I don't recall the brand but if you are interested I can call my brother and get the info for you.

While you are being nice to your friend to do this search, I suggest that you be VERY cautious about acquiring or recommending a specific brand, model or dealer. As many posts here will attest to, there are sometimes problems with even the best models and it is sometimes hard to find a good dealer that provides after the sale service or warranty work.

You might question your friend about the specifics of how they want to camp, how long, what type of floorplan, etc. And then make a long list of potential trailers, but if I were you, I wouldn't narrow it down to just a couple of brands/models/dealers.

Or you might find that your friend may no longer be your friend if you are blamed for suggesting a travel trailer that turns out to be a bust.

... And what is their tow vehicle?

I have a friend looking to move up from a popup. He has looked at hybreds but would really like a hardside. Has to be under 3300lbs and needs bunks since he has 2 kids. any suggestions??

If they are looking to move up to a TT. I would suggest to pass on the hybrids.

If your friend has a pop up now they well know all the pitfalls of wet canvas in inclement weather, stayin out in storms, leaking, camping restrictions in bear county if ever planning a trip out west, etc.etc. So why move 'up' and buy a TT with the same problems?

A nice hard sided TT would be the best bet for them. Plenty of different layouts to easily accommodate two kids without bunks.

You REALLY need to be more specific.
I assume that they still want a "trailer" as opposed to a B or C.
A general idea of the budget allowance would help too.
