Re: looking for TT manufacture recomendation for dry camping
The shortest ORV Mountain, Creekside is 23'2" and the Backcountry 23'1". Quality does count, I'm leaning towards the Nash. I doubt muddy rutted drags. But I've been on many long washboard dirt roads and hauls across the plains states. Both can be hard on campers. I just can't see spending $50K on a small trailer.568Views0likes0CommentsRe: looking for TT manufacture recomendation for dry camping
I checked out all of the recommended campers. I couldn't find the engine in the Oliver for that price, LOL. Lance wasn't far behind. We need more capacity than a K-Z can provide. The Camplite is nice but a little shy on capacity. ORV doesn't have a shorter camper. I also can't find a width listed. They do look great for back country camping. The Nash, although a little longer than I'd like, looked very good. The generator would see little use but I like the built in LP unit. I wouldn't have to drag one out and carry gas. I think it is between the Nash and Rockwood unless there are others out there. Thank you all for your help!568Views0likes0CommentsRe: looking for TT manufacture recomendation for dry camping
I'm not looking for anything real high or soft sided. I intend to pull it with a full size van that I may upgrade to 4X4. The closest I've found so far is a Rockwood mini lite 1909S. A slide isn't necessary but the smaller campers are narrow. I do want to stay shorter so that I can get it turned around at the end of the road. A lot of the camping will be in Colorado. Thanks for all the ideas so far.568Views0likes0Commentslooking for TT manufacture recomendation for dry camping
Hello campers and happy new year! My wife and I are looking to purchase a new TT. We currently have a 27',4X4 motor home that works great but, 8mpg, no mobility once camped and very slow rough ride on the dirt roads. We have a specific way we like to camp and most campers will not work well. We pretty much only dry camp in national or state forests for a few days in a row. It will probably never be used in a camp ground with connections. We like to go to the end of the dirt road and explore from there. Here are some of the qualities I'm looking for. I'd like to keep the overall length below 21'. This is so I can get it turned around at the end of the road:) It needs to sit high, have good amounts of storage and water holding capacity. It only needs to sleep two. We need air conditioning and a generator. I would probably install solar panels and extra battery. Thank you all for your help, Gary6.3KViews0likes26Comments
