Have you looked at NorthSTAR 12' STC?
We have traveled extensively (up to 2 months at a time) with our 2 teen boys in the STC. There is a very sturdy flip-down bunk above the dinette (though headroom up there is tight), and a huge u-dinette for a bed, not those short ones that fit only 3rd graders.Four people in any TC for more than one night isn’t my idea of a vacation. Couldn’t the kids sleep outside in a tent?
OP mentioned needing hardside in bear country...kind of excludes using a tent for teens, and who needs extra baggage dragging another unit behind (then just get a TT)?
Depending on your family dynamics, 4 folks in a TC for more than a night is really no problem...but might not work for all. Some just need more space and privacy, I suppose. That is why we have the great outdoors!
Huge dry bath. TONS of storage. Rex the owner of Northstar is a pleasure to work with, including some customization, and Bill at Truck Camper Warehouse in NH is equally superior in customer service.
This just might work.
We’re used to cramped conditions. We traveled cross country twice in a Jeep Unlimited. Slept in that Jeep 26 nights between Massachusetts and SoCal. The TC will be like a condo. I just want a comfortable place for the kids. Also like I said we’re going to be in bear country next year on an Alaskan trip.
Thanks
