Recommend a TT (rough roads, no campgrounds)

[zeke_b_campin]

Looking for suggestions for a new TT. A few years back, we owned a unit from Outdoors RV. It seemed well built but was too large for the places we like to camp. We camp as far in the back country that we can in CO/WY/MT. I need a trailer that can handle rough roads/forest service trails/etc.

-need something that can sleep 6 WITHOUT using the eating table for a bed.
-24ish feet box
-outdoor kitchen
-Our budget is only 30k or so.

Recommendations to look at?

Thanks everyone. Looking into the cargo trailer conversions now.

The off-road trailers are nice, but super spensive...

People drag their tt's down rough roads all the time, go slow and it will make it. Though, tt's are not built well, and will suffer eventually.

Dual axles will go down rough surfaces better than single

How far are you driving down said road?

Sleeping 6 and having something small enough to fit down a jeep road is not too realistic.

People make cargo-campers for this type of use. The cargo trailer is built tough and will not fall apart like a camper trailer will, but you either have to build yourself or get something someone else built specifically for their needs that may or may not be suited for yours.

Good luck !

You need a bunk house, but those are usually longer than 24' AND the outdoor kitchen steals space from one bunk !

As for forest service trails, you are not going to find many TT that size that can handle that.

Outdoor RV is as good as it gets for off-road TTs in the US.

Yeah, I'm thinking this might be the way for a while. Seems 30k is a drop in the bucket these days.

Thanks everyone!

This might be a case where building what you want makes sense.

I'm guessing but if you don't run a generator with air/con and an outdoor shower is adequate, it would be a fairly simple build.

Heck, my little 26' TT cost $26k and it ain't no "off road" rig by any means. Well, I could take a dirt road maybe... But ain't gonna be getting where it sounds like you go.. And mine only sleeps 2 people...

Even those little 15' tear-drop "off road" rigs can cost way over that $30k figure...

No idea what this is or what it costs, but seems to be a pretty big off road rig..

That's a Black Series trailer. They're an Aussie designed, US built trailer. Since their bigger popups run $25k I'm not sure if I want to know what the trailer would cost. That said the classic double popup might be exactly what the OP was looking for.

X2 in Nash. Same chassis as ORV, but they offer smaller floorplans.

Lol. There has to be something out there that is decently built.

A regular bed up front and two bunks (doubles) would work. My old Outdoors RV would have done well if it was shorter (getting rid of the couch and sitting area).

How are Lance TTs? Built tough?

Lance tt's? Just like any other traler.

Disappointing. How about Northwood units? Nash?
