So, now that we've looked a lot, and rented a Nash 25c for a while, its time to actually look at buying a TT. The problem is, where are the modern designs, with modern materials?
Browsing European sites for example they have lovely options like this:
http://www.baileyofbristol.co.uk/caravans/pegasus-gt65/bailey-pegasus-gt65-turin/
Well designed floorplans and fittings, quality interior materials, modern styling and modern construction materials and aerodynamics. They're also lighter..the 20 ft model above comes in at 3300lbs.
The Lance 2185 comes close I guess, but even there, it has traditional face frame cabinets, is significantly heavier, and doesn't have good cabinet/counter space.
So, where are the "euro" trailers here in the US? The only one I've seen so far while looking is the Jayco Skylark, and they don't have a model that sleeps 4 (and have been discontinued anyways).
Carriage produced a fifth wheel with an (Euro) interior and kind of edgy front cap design. People either loved it or hated it. Was only produced a couple of years before they pulled it from production........then Carriage went belly up but that trailer wasn't the reason.
Wish I could remember the name of that model..............
