Offroad Travel Trailers in the US?
My favorite type of camping is in the middle of nowhere, away from everyone else. This often means travel over hundreds of miles off road. I'm not talking a dirt road you could take a prius on, but a ...

That Creek Side 20 FQ looks like a winner! I watched a video tour and was very impressed. The thick insulation and enclosed underbelly are great. A few random questions and comments:
With that arched roof, will you be able to put solar panels up there?
Can your van handle a 4400 lb. trailer? What is its tow rating? (I am sure you have thought of this already -- I am just wondering what a van can tow.) And you will need to factor in the weight of the cargo, especially the water, with that 66 gallon tank -- another 500 pounds.)
The rear bumper looks stout enough for a two inch receiver for the bikes -- a big plus. And if you have two batteries on the tongue, you will have plenty of tongue weight to counterbalance the bikes.
It looks like there is a lot of extra room above the dinette on the back wall for extra storage.
The walkaround bed is a big deal for full-timing -- we don't have one, and it gets to be a chore to make the bed and change the linens when we are on a long trip.
Will you be able to install bigger tires? It looks like there is plenty of clearance above the tires in the wheel well, but there is not much room between the tires, judging from the video I watched.
Once you buy a trailer, you will have to start a new thread on your expedition modifications!
