Freedom Express Ultra Lite 238BH

Specs here

A local dealer has two of these 238BH's on order. It has SO much I'm looking for. 8CF fridge, 80" murphy, u-shaped dinette and bunks for my boys that I *think* they will fit into, since they are doubles and with one in each, I think they can configure themselves to get comfortable. They've been in tents their whole lives so I think they'll be fine. At only 26 feet.

Problem I'm running into is it seems every time I find something around 25-26 feet with bunks, it just doesn't have much inside storage. We have never had a TT before, so I'm trying to stay as short as possible. Those of you experienced with kids, where do you put all your food? Does it all fit inside storage in the trailer? Or do you still have bins outside? Also, is it only my perception that 26 feet would seem quite a bit easier for a first timer to tow than a 29 foot trailer? Am I squeezing ourselves out of more storage for no reason? Maybe I could throw food bins into the bunks during the day, and put them on the dinette at night? That could work....

We have a 2018 F150/4x4/3.55 axle/3.5 Ecoboost/max tow. About 1000 lbs of payload left after passengers and dog. If anyone is bored and can take a look at these specs I would appreciate it. It's a little heavier than I'd like it to be. I've been very open to used but often comes with regular dinette which I don't want, often don't have bunks and if they do, they also have a sofa and are 30+ feet. oh, and 6cf fridge.

ONE more thing...anyone have this brand of trailer? What have been your experiences with it?

Thank you for reading!!!

With 780 pounds of hitch weight DRY and an available 1000 pounds of payload, you are on the edge without any ability to load up the truck bed. A larger TT would increase storage but weight too. Choose carefully.
