Travel Queen Specs
This is my first post, so let me start off by saying I'm at the very beginning stages of any kind of RVing. My wife and kids and I enjoy camping, but have only ever tent camped. Unfortunately, that's ...

IF I get it, and that's still quite an if...it's certainly cheap enough, but I will definitely put up a build thread here and probably be asking for a fair amount of advice from the folks here. I've done construction, plumbing, electrical, even a little gas work in addition to auto stuff, but never a camper/trailer.
I did find, wading through Dave Pete's rebuild thread some specs, namely 1500lbs dry weight for his 8' TQ. That's encouraging. I took Blue to the co-op scale last night to calculate payload off of my suspension & axle (which are not factory) and came up with an est 1900lbs payload on a full tank of gas with me in the driver seat...and that's not calculating any benefit from overload springs. So...maybe it would work.
Seems to me the TQ I'm looking at is shorter, so maybe it's lighter? Did they even make a TQ under 8'? I haven't found anything to say they did. Maybe it's just a funky floor plan? Hopefully the seller will get back with me soon, or he might not be BSing me and already have it sold. But now I'm itching to drive the four hours this weekend just to go look at it.
If anybody comes up with dimensions that would still be really helpful. Thanks!
Edit: The seller got back to me with some dimensions, so I thought I'd share them in case anyone else comes googling later on...
Base to overhang is 46"
Base width 48"
Base length 100" (8' 4")
OAL 18'
OAW 7'6"
