I am currently living fulltime in a 2005 Cougar 281BH I work on the road managing environmental remediation sites 4 months to a year on a site then moving to another one so most of the time it is sitting, I spend most of current time alone in it, with wife and older teenagers coming to visit for a few weeks maybe 2 or 3 times a year at most so bunkhouse really not needed. We are planning on my wife joining me in another year when the youngest graduates high school.
I have been leaning to getting toy hauler to have additional space for tools, and to stretch out in or bringing 4 wheeler on the road with me for weekends, also when my wife joins me we need space for her sewing stuff she has embroidery machine and looking at getting quilting machine that is like 8? long.
I have 2006 F250 SD crew cab with 6.0 diesel which tows the current one without knowing it is there.
Need advice on models and layout of units, wants needs what are the things you have and like what would you add if could?
Things on our want list.
1. 12 gallon hot water heater or instant one
2. Generator on board
3. Washer & dryer hookups
4. Bath & a half (just out there wondering if good thing)
5. Large couch or lounge seat not much in dinette area found we don?t use really that much
6. Queen drop beds in garage do not expect kids with much
a. Youngest will graduate high school at same time college with AA so she will be off to 4 year school from there
b. Oldest not interested in school so she has two years to get herself settled
7. Full sized residential fridge?? have brand new one that we will put in garage so this is not absolute but nice
8. Since I work on road and can end up lots of different places needs to have a very good insulation package
I have time to find what I want, I had been looking hard at a Keystone Raptor 365LEV but thinking might be bit much for my truck, I love the Keystone products but since this will be home for a long time want to find the right fit.
