That would certainly resolve the "sleeps 4" issue after a night or two... Once the bears have eaten the kids...

Find a Lance 1191 with rear tent option or Host has the rear tent option as well.

We travel 2 adults, 2 teen boys, and 70# lab. Single slide EC850, No worries, have a ball. We are typically outside and on the go. However , we have had some rainy/movie nights, or ski trips, where we are all in chillin. Love the TC. Get a slide for sure, the floor space makes the difference. That non slide Northstar davidzoo has is quite a nice unit also- I saw his at the dealer.

Four people in any TC for more than one night isn’t my idea of a vacation. Couldn’t the kids sleep outside in a tent? We did as kids and loved it while M&D slept in the station wagon. Two cots in a TC? You must be kidding.

Have you looked at NorthSTAR 12' STC?
We have traveled extensively (up to 2 months at a time) with our 2 teen boys in the STC. There is a very sturdy flip-down bunk above the dinette (though headroom up there is tight), and a huge u-dinette for a bed, not those short ones that fit only 3rd graders.Four people in any TC for more than one night isn’t my idea of a vacation.

OP mentioned needing hardside in bear country...kind of excludes using a tent for teens, and who needs extra baggage dragging another unit behind (then just get a TT)?
Depending on your family dynamics, 4 folks in a TC for more than a night is really no problem...but might not work for all. Some just need more space and privacy, I suppose. That is why we have the great outdoors!
Huge dry bath. TONS of storage. Rex the owner of Northstar is a pleasure to work with, including some customization, and Bill at Truck Camper Warehouse in NH is equally superior in customer service.
