Any thoughts on the Coachman Brookstone 395RL? It says 40' 10"... wonder what the real length is? It is also heavy, so we would need to pack light. http://www.coachmenrv.com/product-details.aspx?LineID=55&ModelID=1536#Main
Anybody know of similar floorplans? I found a Sandpiper, but we like the layout of this one better.
Better sort out the prioritys.
What is more important, the trailer or the places you can take the trailer? You already know that a 35' trailer has its limitations on where you can take it if you like the SPs as you say. Go over 35' & your SP site options are going to rapidly decrease. Sure the private CGs can take that length but do you want to give up the SPs, & all the site separation that comes with them, for the virtual carpark camping of many full service CGs?
Regarding the Coachmen, did you look at the freshwater capacity? 63gal. How long do you think that will last when you are dry camping or at a no water site? With 2 people 63gal is good for 2-3 nights without being very careful with usage.
If future plans include real traveling like going to Alaska, using SPs, NPs, BLMs, NFSs, festivals such as the Albuquerque Balloon Festival or music festivals, a unit capable of easily supplying all of your needs for more than 3 days is a must. Dragging something huge for those long trips should be considered too.
