Moving from a TC to a small compact TT

I see your point about the versatility of the truckcamper, Geewizard- they can't be beat if your tug's a truck anyway.

As a side note, though: my favorite present combo is a fourteen foot Trillium towed by my old Kia Sportage- whole thing is less than thirty feet long from stem to stern. It's maneuverable as heck...the mid-ship articulation has gotten me into/out of some really tight places. One of the reasons I hang out here in the TC forums is that I can go just about anywhere you guys can, only in my case it's because I'm small.

Point is, there's more than one way to get out in the boonies, depending on the tug.

Point agreed with. thanks.

Look at a Nash 17K.

Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions.

We looked at Camplight trailers at a local dealer. Very impressed with the fit and finish of them as well as the weight....or lack thereof. And I was impressed with the clean lines of the underside of the Camplight trailers. All the others we looked at had all sorts of plumbing and stuff hanging down. Seems like that wouldn't last long on a rough road.

However, it seems that we have revisited our decision to sell our TC and get a TT. At least for 2014. We're thinking that there are so many more places we can go with the TC that we could not as easily go with even a 13-foot TT.

Don't overlook Winnebago's Minnie TT's. Nice quality and fun colors.

Ain't it the truth!

Been a molded-owner and member at fiberglassrv for a long time and leaks certainly are a big topic of duscussion.

While it's true that unbroken expanses of molded fiberglass won't leak, anyplace there's a seam or cutout has the same potential to leak as on any other type of trailer.

Maintenance is everything!

I have have owned 2 Lance Trailers, a Dutchman T@da, and now own an Escape 21'. My weight is approximately 3300# and my trailer will not delaminate nor leak.The trailer is 100% fiberglass, top and bottom. I have a full bed and a dinette and a full kitchen with oven and a bath/shower/toilet. My windows are double paned and the entire trailer is insulated. The quality and the ability to customize is unsurpassed, try that with any american trailer company. Escape Trailer Industries, Chilliwack, BC.

I got this little coachman viking 14R that I tow with a Nissan Frontier. It works for me and my wife.
