Largest, Cheapest Class A or Travel Trailer?

For purposes unrelated to my own personal RVing in my truck camper, I need to find the largest, cheapest Class A or travel trailer.

Looking for:

*Lots and lots of seating. At least 3 couches. I could take out something easy to remove and secure an Ikea couch in there also if needed. Seats and couches everywhere. No dinette necessary.

*All those couches should convert and it should sleep 6-8

*As much tankage and hot water as possible.

*Minimal kitchen and bedroom. As much space as possible devoted to seating.

*Open to class A or Travel trailer

*Modern looking but built of low quality is ok

Anything come to mind?

I also think a toyhauler without a seperate garage would work. The link is for the model I have it will seat 11 and has 2 queen beds and when the seating is converted to sleeping configuration 1 more queen and a twin.



Whoa!!! That's it! Perfect! Thank you.

The use for those curious is a bit of a dual use. Might use it to stay in sometimes and like a mobile food truck with seating mainly. Open to the public.


Be aware that Evergreen has been out of business for a few years. So it would have to be used. Don't think they made many of them.

Still being pretty cryptic about the actual use. Clarifying that might get you better answers, but I'm not aware of anything "turnkey" that will provide what I "think" you are looking for, which is basically a sitting lounge with a bathroom.

I don't have the free time. That's why I need to buy something to fit this purpose.


For $30-40k, you can have someone outfit it for you.

Not likely to find an off the lot RV like you want for the price you are talking about.

Check with a furniture upholsterer. They can probably knock up some couches that fold down but still look nice. The big utility trailer gives you a blank slate.

I think the OP was asking motorized or trailer. For my 40 outings per year "plug and play" is best so the motorhome is my choice. Jump in and go, plug it in, you're done. Towable has it's advantages if you are sightseeing away from a base camp and need a more maneuverable vehicle. Also if stays parked for log periods. Towables are cheaper if you already have the tow vehicle. If you don't have a good tow vehicle then motorized can actually be cheaper overall in your price range. Don't rule out Class C's which are frequently a bargain. They often have really low miles because they are "starter" units for young families who have less vacation time. But you want slide outs in anything or it will get real crowded really fast.

A Toy Hauler can be setup for your use or from time to time on Craigslist I see Party Buses listed some have small kitchens.

The $64000 question is what is the intended use for this?

I like the idea of one of those "executive" type buses....all lounges, one or two head's and a small kitchen. If its only going to be set up in one location, even the highest mileage units could be considered. Good Luck in your quest in finding just the right fit!

Try toy haulers. Most come with sofas in the cargo area that can be lifted out of the way and lowered when needed. They come in bumper pull, 5th wheel, and Class A (Thor Outlaw and Neumar) configurations.


This is good advice. Never looked at these before but they already dedicate a large area to being empty (with optional seating). Also, takes no build out. You could easily anchor Ikea furniture in the open area and the fit and finish of the whole interior is up to standard.
