Travel trailer style w large rear window
Hello all, Am new to this forum and come to this knowledgeable group of people with a question on a particular travel trailer style. My husband and I are approaching age 40 and have been long time...

We also have a rear living room style with big rear window. Our problem is that the trailer is so big (34' hitch to spare tire) that it doesn't fit in many state park sites, especially out west, so we have spent much of our time in private CG pull-thru sites. The big window often looks back at another camper, or to the CG road. Just FYI.
That said, we have had a Flagstaff (twin to Rockwood, both Forest River products) for the last 6 years and have found it to be comfortable, with almost too much storage space - the temptation is to overload it. This particular model (831 RLSS) has a very comfortable inflatable mattress on the pullout couch - which is also very comfortable to sit in - so it sleeps 4. If it had the dinette (ours has table & chairs) it could sleep 4 adults and 1-2 children. For such a huge camper, it's lightweight, GVWR under 7000 lbs, with a loaded hitch weight of about 1000 lbs. Our model is considered a "Superlite" by Forest River. To keep weight down, consider campers made with aluminum frames rather than wood. I don't believe prices are all that different between the two body types.
