TH for a family of 4 and NO off road toys - Yes - No?
We have had Class A, C, TT, 5er. Never tented nor owned a TH.
Now, one DS is 18 and the other DS is 13. Our 13yo will be with us for many years as he has Autism. He LOVES to be on the road, camp, boat, and explore new places!
I have plenty of truck to pull a TT or 5er but looking for something with three queen beds. Considered HTT but after much thought we decided on a hard sided trailer.
The reason to consider a TH (bumper pull) is more for 3 queens beds than any other reason...but we do like the ability to have the openness of the rear door. We really like the utility nature of the TH and the generator.
Would like to keep length as short as possible with front queen.
Toys: We may get a quad or two later on down the line, but we are not desert/off road types. Quads would only be used at baja beaches or trails that allow them near lakes/rivers. I taught my 13yo son with autism to ride a small quad when he was 7-8 on our 3/4 acre property. He LOVES quads, but wife is scared he will injure himself/others in open areas like beaches. I/we prefer fishing, lakes, rivers.
Where/how do we typically camp?:
Mainly RV parks with hook ups, some boondocking (beaches, Baja, etc)
Locales.....CA coast, inland parks, Sierras, NV/AZ lakes, Colorado River, 15-20 days per year 2017-18.
Summer 2018 and beyond......20-30 days per year with future plans on...
NM, maybe Texas, Colorado, Montana, and perhaps the South MS, LA, etc. Some Baja trips.
In 5 years, it will be primarily be my wife, me and one son using the camper.
Sleeping beds are very important. Boys would like their own beds and not the coffin size bunks in most older TTs.
Micro/Refer/Stove very important
Storage very important
Cons/My concerns about TH:
Too dark inside
Too cramped due to no slide out
Stuffy due to the abve reasons
Please help me understand what I would be getting into with a TH. Be honest, frank, and all of that stuff!
Thanks!
