First TT for Drycamping

Thanks for all the great responses, everyone! I'm sure I will have lots more questions as we get closer to a purchase. I will visit the Dry Camping board and read all the pertinent posts.

Most of our camping is done is rustic campgrounds, so the roads in and out are fairly good. I imagine if we go boondocking that we'd pre-scout the area without the TT to make sure it's safe. We've taken the PUP into some pretty tight spots but would have to be much more cautious with a TT. The DH has mentioned keeping the PUP for such occasions, but I imagine he'll eventually want to free up that space in the pole barn.

Thanks for all the trailer suggestions also. I will check out the links. Lance seems to be pretty popular here but the only *issue* I see with that is that all but the smallest models have slide-outs, and the DH does not want a slide.

I'm glad to know that the fresh water tanks can be refilled "manually".

The "Slide" will give you more room, but it also leads to more that can go wrong. If you keep it simple with plenty of fresh water and large gray and black water holding tanks, you will be happy. You need to make sure the trailer that you choose had a good support system for the tanks, especially a large fresh water tank. You would be surprised how many trailers aren't built to withstand using the tanks when they are full. My theory has always been, "why have the tank capacity if you can't use it".
Good luck in your search and happy camping.
