I have pretty well narrowed my TT search as far as length, floor plans and some brand names. I plan on leaving at least for 6 months to miss the Midwestern winter next year but also may leave as soon as June 2014. I will see during that time if I decide to go full-time, which is my goal. I'm traveling with 2 basset hounds and 1 bloodhound. I know, too many dogs but that is another story not covered here. It is what it is, as they say. I've been looking at all kinds of RVs and TT the past couple of years as I worked my way to retirement. I bought a 26' C with no slides last fall only to sell that same RV 7 months later without every hitting the road. It sat winterized for the snow and ice this winter. Found it not to have enough room nor enough storage.
I moved to a truck as a tow vehicle, would like to keep the trailer to 24' based on the type of camping I want to do. I want to boondock mostly, some NP, would like to stay off the grid as much as possible and hopefully one step in front of the bad weather. Western states mostly.
I am finding with just one slide, there is so much more room and room that I would like to have with the hounds. These are not energetic hounds once inside. They sleep most of the time inside. I plan to spend as much time outside and realize when bad weather hits, I will be hibernating with these three hounds for days, depending how long the storms last.
Can anyone tell me why a slide would not be a good idea in a trailer that might travel down some dirt/gravel roads, some forest roads nor more than three digits and on occasion two track roads.
Thank you for your suggestions.
