What TT for a car enthusiast?
Hi, I've been lurking for a week. My fiancée and I are looking to get our first TT. I want something light that I can tow with my BMW 135. It's rated to 2000 lbs and I understand that anything I ...

I recommend looking at LivinLite. Like a popup, they will be roomier than a sleep-only teardrop, but as tent trailers they do not carry the added weight of the popup's hard top and lift mechanism.
I think when you look at the actual weight of a 13 foot Scamp or Casita, you will be pushing the weight limit of 2000, considering tthat spec is likely tied to a frontal area limit and gets reduced for tows with higher profiles.
What they tow with what vehicles in Europe gets hard to relate to the way we use RVs here, as. we tend to try keeping up with the speed limits for cars not towing, while most EU countries have tiered speed limits, and cars pulling caravans are usually bottom tier, maybe as low as 80-90 KPH on the fastest highways, same as for the big trucks. Accordingly, they are balanced differently and aerodynamic loads, as they matter for power, cooling, and stability, are much lower.
I looked at their video of the LL assembly. Clever product but more work than I would like for a weekender. And is like something more sheltered. Thanks for the idea.
About a scamp 13. A non deluxe without the wood cabinets or shower/bath is about 1200 pounds dry. I think we if pack just sheets, towels and a few kitchen utensils we should be safely under 1500 pounds. I've read from some scamp owners that's a reasonable weight estimate when packed as I've described. The trailer will be just a weekender for is so I think we can pack pretty light.
Is 1500 pounds reasonable?
