Small Travel Trailer with Sink in Bathroom

Good Morning Everyone,

We are searching for our first travel trailer for camping primarily in campgrounds, we are looking at smaller bunkhouses around 21-22ft with queen sized beds. We will mostly just use the camper as a rolling hotel room going to Fort Wilderness and other campgrounds. I actually worked in the RV industry for a long time and now I am in boats but still like the idea of traveling a little with a camper.

My two vehicle is a Range Rover so my towing capacity is 7700lbs but I am wanting to stay below 6000lbs Gross. We have really narrowed down to a Starcraft Autumn Ridge 20BH (a little heavy), a Jayco Jayflight SLX 7’ 174BH (kind of narrow) and a Keystone Hideout 175LHS (a good size compromise but hard to find with rooftop ac). My biggest hang-up on some of the smaller campers is the lack of sink in the bathroom. Those here that own campers without sinks in the bathroom how are you getting along? I was thinking just using the shower to wash hangs in and shave in but I still prefer a sink. I would love a little feedback?! Thanks!
  • Our Camplite 21BHS fits your requirements but does not have a sink in the bathroom. It hasn't been a problem for us. We just use the sink in the kitchen area. In addition, you mention staying at campgrounds like Fort Wilderness. We stay there many times a year since my wife retired from there and still gets the benefits. The comfort stations there are great, so we just use them anyway. We find we normally use the campground facilities wherever we go, with the exception of Trailer Village at the Grand canyon. At the Grand Canyon it was still no problem.
  • Just use the sink in the kitchen. Currently I have a trailer with one sink. It works fine and makes winterizing faster.
