Since nobody has replied yet I figured I would post some things I like about our trailer and my experiences so far. Knowing what I like and don't like might help you to give me better advice.
-Being only 17' long I can easily fit it into camp sites. Then being a hybrid I just find where I want it and then accommodate for where the rear bed will be. Buying my co worker's 2014 Kodiac 186E would continue that trend.
-The bathroom is great and very functional. Having a half tub is so handy. Fill it up a bit and use the water in the half tub and then a bit of showering to get clean.
-Furnace and AC works great. Even in +4 Celcius weather I have been pretty comfortable in the trailer with the furnace on and using an electric blanket in the bed.
-I have learned a lot and done some nice upgrades on the trailer. The microwave died at the end of last season so I replaced it with an identically sized Coulture microwave I got at my RV dealer. I just fixed the roof with self levelling and non self levelling Dicor. Awning tape has done a good job addressing the micro leaks I had in the tenting which were barely pin sized holes. If I could figure out how to post from my Smugmug account I would post pictures.
-I upgraded the propane to 2 30 lb tanks with the dual regulator. It has made my longer trips better and should help resale when I move on.
-I have learned a whack from the little thing but I want to move up a bit. Even something with front jacks would help with the set up. I ended up getting the little aluminium jack stands which I put under the front. The trailer only came with the rear jacks. Not having to use the seperate jacks plus fighting with the table and end dinette would make my setting up and down easier.
