What kind of travel trailer????

[CoryTDF]

I'm looking at buying a new trailer. I have an 05 Tundra and so I am looking at around the 20-25 ft range. I would like to have the ability to sleep 4-6 people.

I have a nomad 285....made by skyline. I have yet to have one problem with it so far had it a little less than a year but have hauled it all over already

I have looked at Jayco's , Forest Rivers , Keystone's , Lance and Northwoods. But have yet to pull the trigger. To me they all had +'s and -'s. I think trailers are like Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge  .

I am on my 3rd Arctic Fox and very happy with them,  2004, 2008 & 2014 now.  They are well built trailers and hold value a little better than most.  I have also bought all of them used and replace the queen mattress in them for good measure. They are a little heavier than others though.

if you have a family that you intend to use it with, definitely explore the bunk models.

Two words - Slide Out !  &  Memory Foam !

4-6 people - wow you'ii wanta go as big as you can pull with a tundra.  A 26-28 footer will be around 7500-8500 lbs if you can handle that with a large central slide out would be what I would look for.

We bought a new Nash 23D last fall and we love it!  We drove down to LaGrande to pick it up at Thunder RV.  It's a small mom and pop dealership and they were great to deal with.  We knew we wanted the Nash and had it down to three dealerships in the Northwest.  One call to Thunder RV was all it took.  I asked what their best price was and they beat their competitors by several hundred dollars.  They were straight shooters all the way through.

The Nash is built by the same company that builds Arctic Fox...Northwood Manufacturing.  The Arctic Fox has the top-of-the-line trim level but the frame and mechanics are the same on the Nash. The trim level on the Nash is still very good...great quality finishes with a price tag is substantially less than the Arctic Fox. The Nash 23D has a slide-out (highly recommended) and is solidly built. Nash also has two models with bunks - the 23B and 25C.  The 25C also has a slide-out. And Magnum_Willys is right - spend the money to get a memory foam mattress topper.  You can get one at Costco and cut it to size pretty easily.

We did a lot of research before we pulled the trigger on a new trailer and the Nash came out on top. It was the right fit for our family.

Good luck with your hunt for your new trailer, Cory!

Don't forget to get one big enough for Jon to sleep on the floor!

We bought an 03 Komfort 27t last year. It has one big slide for the couch and dinette area. I wouldn't have one without a slide, or 2. Make sure the kitchen area, shower and toilet will work for your camping needs. Counter space and ample toilet/shower space is tough in the smaller models. Lots to think about, take your time and try to get the right one the first time.

Curious what you are all towing these trailers with? He has a half ton. My thought is he's going to have a tough time if he starts getting over 20'. I could be wrong as I know some of the newer trailers are lighter than the older models so I would be curious to also hear what you are towing with. I too may be in market for a newer model, but I also have a half ton truck.

Just one thing about slides. If your using them when it really cold outside, you're gonna have a hard time keeping it warm inside. I lived in one in Black Diamond and Moses Lake for 3 years working, so I know what I'm talking about. For a week, just bring lotsa propane.

Summers were great in it.

I have a 2012 Ram 3500 Cummins, my trailer is around 7500lbs empty and close to 10k gross. I wouldn't want to pull it with a half ton. Mine is a bit older though, a friend of mine has a newer 27 foot bunkhouse with a slide that he says is around 5500lbs empty.

If you're putting a 2 5/16 ball on your half ton to tow a trailer around better think twice about it.

There is a nice travel trailer for sale on here the last week.

We have a 2216 Steath toy hauler and it sleeps 7 very comfortably.  It lacks counter space and closet/cabinet space and no slide, but we cook and eat outside all summer and it is just two or three in it in hunting season.  If you want to not be sized out of most State Park camp grounds you better stay w/in 27 feet overall, or so. 

I tow it w/a 2011 ecoboost  F 150 SCREW now, but it towed great with a 2003 F150 for a few years nad that is pretty close to what you have. 

We like it.
