Totally confused trying to buy travel trailer

Sounds like gmw has some good advice. Go to the RV shows and see what is available. You may get some new ideas. If you find a salesman you like and think you can trust (they don't all lie) give him your contact info. They may take a trade that is just what you are looking for. I recommend you get a trailer that has tandem axles. That second axle can be very handy if you get a flat tire; it's much easier to safely get off the road. Happy shopping and don't give up. There is something out there that will fit most of your requirements.
