Looking for a narrow TT that sleeps 4

Hi all. The spouse is starting to grumble about wanting a trailer so I'm starting to look online at what is available and might suit us. I'm looking for suggestions on narrow bunkhouse TTs (7'6" width max).

I've found the CampLite 21BHS and the Microminnie 1700BH.

Has anyone checked these out and would be willing to share your impressions?

Are there others? There must be but I'm having a hard time finding them!

My preferences:

1. sleeps 4 without a ton of setup (I would consider a hybrid if it had at least one permanent bed I could pile the other bedding on while on the move)

2. 7'6" wide or less, preferably 7'. (This is important for storage as well as driving convenience)

3. seating for 4 at the dinette (Microminnie seems to fail this test)

4. access to refrigerator and bathroom at all times (with slide in/top is down/whatever). The CampLite is questionable here and I'd love some reviews

5. bathroom and refrigerator, wet bath okay, fridge should be larger than "dorm size".

6. prefer 2 axles

7. prefer not to have microwave, TV, stereo, satellite, etc. (We won't use these things and storage would be preferred in a small TT)

8. prefer larger tanks

9. The shorter the better

Any suggestions? My tow vehicle should be adequate for anything in this category. Thanks!

Might be a good suggestion to find an RV show and visit it with a tape measure. Then you can actually see and touch what is out there. I personally have no idea and even if I were in the market I wouldn't have a 7' width limit. You apparently have reasons for that size. And if you can't find a show, you might find a dealer nearby with some new/used inventory to scope out.

As for the items you would rather not have I think you are stuck there. I used to boat for decades and as the years went by the "standard" item list grew bigger and bigger and if I were in the market for the newer boats I would have had to take all sorts of glitz and glamor that I not only didn't want but didn't like either. I recall being on a 42' boat once that had a floor to ceiling entertainment unit with TV, stereo and all sorts of other useless stuff while taking up a nice wall that could have been put to better use. But the mass marketing types think we ALL want that.

You'd probably find something suitable in the Coachmen Apex Nano Series, 'though most are single axle.
