Re: Looking for travel trailer for full time use
@donn0128 - thanks! I may consider a larger truck, once I know what my options are using my current truck... I can always stick with the trailer that I have. @Lwiddis - I'm willing to look at a great trailer that has a slide-out if you know of one in my range. As I said, I'm not familiar with them. @kerrlakeroo - I'll take a look at the K-Z Connect lite - reminds me of a Gulf Stream Vista that some of the other volunteers where I am now have (another possibility.) I have been doing pretty well in my current trailer but wanted to explore my options for an upgrade. I like my truck for times that I'm not towing but I do realize its limitations for towing.284Views0likes0CommentsLooking for travel trailer for full time use
I'm a single female looking for a travel trailer for full time use. I own a crew cab Ford F150 V6 2.7L 4WD pickup with a towing capacity of 7500 lbs, and I have owned a small Scamp 16 fiberglass trailer for the last year. I plan to sell the Scamp and buy either a slightly used or new travel trailer. My budget is very flexible. My primary objective is to have more room and comfort, and I would like a quality trailer. I do both volunteer work (parking for 3 to 6 months at a time) and traveling/moving quite a bit, and I do plan to boondock. Based on what I've read, I should stay at 75% of the full towing capacity, so that puts me at about 5600 lbs fully loaded weight, as I understand it. Must haves: A/C Decent kitchen and refrigerator Oven Nice to haves: Cold weather package Dry bath Lots of windows Walk around bed (I think this will be a stretch in my weight range) Windows on 3 sides of bed if possible I really don't want a slide-out. I am not overly familiar with them but it seems like "more to go wrong..." I don't care for outdoor speakers or TVs. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!4KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Where to register travel trailer
I will only have one drivers license. Based on my experience, you have to surrender one to get another. Although I obtained a license in state "B", I will surrender it when I get a new one in state "A." The gist of it is, I planned on moving to a new state but it didn't work out, so I'm moving back to my original state.594Views0likes0CommentsRe: Where to register travel trailer
I am paying income taxes in state "A". Have DL and car registration in state "B". Want to domicile in state "A" again (will have to get new DL and car registration there. After 3 months, I hope to get another volunteer position perhaps in another state, and do this type of volunteer work repeatedly. Yes, I am aware that I should not have changed my docs, but at the time, I anticipated staying in state "B". Now B is pretty much out of the question.594Views0likes0CommentsWhere to register travel trailer
I have created a vehicle registration mess and need help sorting it out, please! I was originally living in state "A" (had drivers license and registration for car there). - originally to move to state "B", so moved there and obtained drivers license and registration there. - am purchasing a trailer in state "C", where I will need to get a temp permit to pull it out of state - will be parking trailer in state "D", where I will be for 3 months. - intend to be "domiciled" in state "A", so will have to get a new driver's license and register my car there. Question: Where can/should I register the trailer? In state "A", where I will have my driver's license and car registration? Or can I register a trailer in a different state than where I have my DL and car registered? This has all come about because I'm ending my corporate career and doing volunteer work.2.1KViews0likes14Comments
