RE: [A/S] Basic Information Needed Please
Bill,
Personally I think a 25' travel trailer is the minimum size for comfort
without being excessively large or difficult to tow or park.
First, if the trailer is any shorter the living area (galley and lounge
[living]area) will overlap the bath and sleeping area both physically and
functionally.
Second, a 25 footer is not too long for most campgrounds (30 footers and
longer) are often excluded from many campgrounds - particularly public ones,
because they are too long to maneuver along the sharp turns and narrow
driveways.
In the case of my older Airstream (1976) it has a very large fresh water
tank and black water (toilet) tank. The grey water tank is small, but it is
safe and easy to dispose of this most anywhere. Thus you have the ability
to function for an extended period of time without a hookup.
You still need a competent tow vehicle, though. White knuckle towing with a
marginal for the job tow vehicle is not my idea of recreation.
Good luck,
Oliver Filippi
