We have been trying to find a bunk house trailer that is under 29 ft and has 3-4 bunks with a door for the bunk house.  Some have the bathroom in between the rooms.  Most of them that have bunk house with doors are 33' or larger.  :(  We would like to keep it small to keep the weight down (1/2...

Thanks for the help. Now I know what wt. range to look at. I did find one that has a floor plan that we like, it's made by Allen Camper Mf Inc.  I have not heard of them before and I did not find much when I did a search here either. I guess I should ask on the 5th forum. Thanks, Greg

Hi Joe, I can't seem to find the data on it, I'll keep looking. I should have looked at the sticker when we looked at it, next time I'll know, thanks. My wife likes this one, she wonders if we could take the slider out and frame in a wall.  :) I would guess that would reduce the weight but it...

Hi, we are looking to get a used TT or 5th wheel, less than 30ft, about 4500-5000 lbs and using a Toyota Tundra for pulling. My parents had a Carriage 28ft TT in the early 70s and we travelled around the US one summer. They had a 65 Buick for pulling. I have been reading that the TTs are not...
