After looking at dozens of new travel trailers at a couple different shows, I've reached the conclusion that I need to buy a used-but-not-too-used trailer and do some customizing of my own. I'm looking for a 20-23-footer and the new ones that are closest to what I want are Cougar, Passport, Milan, and Tracer. But there are specific things I want to do. 1) Install solar panels. 2) convert lighting and all electrical that I can to 12-volt (LED, etc.) so I only need to use an inverter or generator to power specific appliances or to charge devices. 3) Strip out extra beds and/or dinette to make room for my mobile office. 4) Insulate for 4 seasons. 5) Put in pleasant to the eye and touch flooring. 6) Prepare for satelite internet (I don't care about TV). 7. Keep the overall dry weight under 5,000#.
I'm going to be sifting through all the posts on this forum over the next few days to find out what others have remodeled and their tips on the experience. I hope to decide my trailer in the next 60 days and be on the road by the end of August. If you've got a tip, I'd love to hear it, including vendors for any of the products above or advice on making the initial purchase. Thnx!
