Two Travel Trailers one large one very small?

I keep a 35' TT on my seasonal site and have a 22' and 17' TT's for excursions.

The 35' and 17' stay at the seasonal site 900 miles from my house. I use the 22' for travels from home.

We have a TT and a tent. Love both of them but use them at different times and for different type trips.

I have 2. A 26ft couples unit and fun off grid popup camper.

I had a 5th wheel for long stays in one place and a truck camper for long trips with short overnite stays. A Northstar Liberty might fit a SB 150HD, they are kinda light for a hardside tc. The rig will fit in a single parking space saving you CG fees. Many businesses will allow you to park a TC or class B overnite if you ask. We put 80k on a TC.

:) we also put 125k on a two wheel full dress 74' R90 BMW with our backpacking equipment. Why not do that , go back to a good tent . It will be made better than any RV you could buy :B

If always have my eye out for an older (vintage) small trailer that would be sufficient for the guys to take into hunting camp. I'm not thinking the Cougar would want to be in the places they go...and I don't want it going there!

Interesting how people end up with 2 RV's. When I retired we picked up a short used cruise America class C, little bit longer than a camper. At the time we already owned a 33 foot 5th wheel but sold it. Being we already experienced the hassles of a large RV going small was a no brainier for us. But after spending a couple weeks in our small RV we then understood the space in large RV was missed. Wife found a 30 foot trailer she liked and it is her "doll house". We have a lot in Yuma that we use as a base camp. Our smaller is RV great for traveling and camping but spending any amount of time or stuck inside because of rain couple for a weeks might change your mind. At our park (full hook ups) many people with large RV's got tired of dragging them around over the years and they picked up a small traveling RV. And some put their large RV in covered storage (because sun damage) and go from their home and "camp" all the way down from Canada or other frozen places to the southwest. By the time they get to Yuma, camping all the way in Nat campground and such they fall in love they the bigger RV all over again. Being able to fit in anywhere without the hassles is great but we sure do enjoy the space of our big one. Also when at home, use the smaller class C as back up vehicle and spare bedroom. Having both small and large RV has many benefits. However this year we had to stay home because wife got new hip (don't want her in public, somebody might try to steal her:) Now with 2 rv's I now have to all the maintenance items and insurance of two. Also getting old that the place I buy RV parts from knows me by name.

Personally I don't see any advantage to an ultra short trailer, as in any much shorter than ~ 20', especially for those already used to a much longer one. We ourselves downsized from a triple bunk bed family trailer measuring 26'9" coupler to bumper to a couple's trailer measuring 22'6" and after 3 seasons I can comfortably say that's about as short as we'd want to go. In our experience camping here in Canada and many parts of the US anything 25' or shorter can be placed on pretty well any campsite, with no significant advantage to anything much shorter. Why suffer a too small fridge, ultra small bathroom, less storage, and less interior space when there's really no need, especially when one already has a TV capable of easily handling a 20 - 25 footer? :h

Must becoming a common experience. Around where I live, I see more and more houses with more than 1 camper parked there. Usually, one larger, one smaller. Sometimes a motor home and a pop-up. Never could figure that one out. I thought, maybe one of the grandkids was storing their pop-up at grandma or grandpa's farm or something. But often wondered if they just wanted something smaller for different styles of camping. Or, maybe some folks where I live just enjoy collecting camper!

If I had the opportunity, I'd pick another one up in a heartbeat. I'd set one of them up semi-permanent in my back yard and use the the other for travel. Shoot ... we never sleep in the house any more! ... really! Our home has become a place where we can live in the camper! (to each his own).

Your idea sounds perfectly logical to me! Go for it! Have fun and enjoy the lifestyle!

It doesn't seem to me that a 27ft 5th wheel would be all the onerous to deal with. Now, if you had a 35-40 footer, then yes, I could see a need for something smaller.

I sold a BigFoot when we "upgraded" to the 5er in my signature. I never once considered having two trailers but I have regretted selling the smaller trailer ever since. We love the luxury of our Domani but sometimes it isn't the right tool for the job.
