Hi,
We are considering getting back into camping after a 30 year hiatus - this time in a trailer rather than a tent. We have been shopping around and are rather taken with the CampLites - they seem so much better built than other trailers we have looked at. The weight of the CampLites would also work with our current pick up truck, a Chevy Colorado Z71.
I was hoping those of you with lots of experience might be able to comment on the pros and cons of a 16' vs. a 21' model. The 16' seems like a manageable size for beginner trailer campers.... I am inexperienced and intimidated at the thought of pulling the 21' unit. We also would like to camp in smaller, more out of the way places, not always among big RV units.
However, my husband also feels like having two axles like on the 21' is an important safety feature. There is obviously more room in the 21' and a sink in the bathroom which seems like a nice addition.
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions forum members might have on choosing a trailer. Thanks! -Barb
