Looking for A Travel Trailer

[Beach324]

Since I was in my 20s I have wanted to spending time camping around the country and Canada. I am now 73 and it looks like my dream will finally come to fruition. I bought the Nissan Pathfinder that I have posted about and I'm now trying to pin down the travel trailer. There is an RV show in Charlotte Jan 18-20 and I plan to go. My needs are fairly basic. I would like a travel trailer under 3500 lbs, with dry bath that has a lavatory, bunk beds in the rear, and queen bed in the front, one slide. I've made notes on several models made by Jayco, Lance, Winnebago, Rockwood Geo Pro, Forest River, Coachmen Clipper to name a few. If anyone has a suggestion about other models I can consider I would appreciate the info. Starting to get excited!! Thanks

I don’t know that you will get all that under 3500 lbs.
you can get some of it under 3500 lbs.

For example, a Jayco has a hummingbird that has bunks and a dinette that folds into a queen, but it’s a wet bath.
And I believe they have one with a queen bed and nice dry bath, but no bunks.

I will tell you— we searched far and wide for such an animal. Never found it.
We ended up getting a truck.

I don’t think that camper exists. Look at apex 185bh. No slide and a full bed but gross weight 3800. The big brother is the 20 ft bunkhouse . It hits all of your points but is 4700 lbs gross. All of the manufacturers will have similar floor plans with their models I just don’t think you can get all of your wants in a hard side with slide. Good luck on your search!

If I can do without the lavatory in the bath, I have found several that have everything else I need.

Right now the Rockwood Geo Pro G16BH is at the top of my list. It has everything including the slide-out. I would give up the queen bed, but the dinette on one end and bunks on the other will work for us. The dry bath even has a lavatory! Are there any others like this I can consider?

Ideal size and weight for a 2015 Pathfinder.

so how many people are going to be camping with you? i'm just wondering why you need the bunks.
