My wife wants to get rid of the popup for a travel trailer. We have two kids, 10&12 and a 50 lb dog. We are not really worried about tons of interior space, it is mostly needed for sleeping and using the bathroom in the middle of the night. Our group of friends all have travel trailers... becuase they are always loaded up, it is really easy for them to pack, get to the camp site, unhitch , set up and start drinking.
Our 1997 popup fits our needs except for the bathroom and the pain in the ass it takes to pop it up, pack it, pop it down, drive to the camp site, set it up... then repeat the process to pack it up to go home.
Camping world currently has a metric ass load of base model trailers, this is the one I am looking at, its dry weight is 3,100 lbs. https://rv.campingworld.com/rvdetai...leman-lantern-lt-17b-bunkhouse-10k-GRV1851820
To me, this is a crap load of money to spend on a camper... yes I realize that this is as cheap as they get, but still... if i'm spendign this much, should I spend a bit more and get something bigger with a bump out and a walk around bed?
I would look used for a bigger camper, is 4500 lbs ish reasonable, i know I'm rated for 6000lbs towing, but would rather not push it too much.
