Where are all of the tent-trailer models?

[sticcino]

So, I got rid of my fifth-wheel and truck in favor of a Jeep and am looking at getting a tent-trailer that I can pull with the Jeep. I am looking for something with a bathroom, and preferably something like the Forest River HW277/HW27KS with good counter/kitchen area...

My questions are:

Where are the other Makes/models of tent trailers? It looks like Coachmen Clippers are the only other tent trailers made right now? I am not talking Jumping jack and the likes, those have a zero WAF...

Is the dearth of make/model options going to stay, or is it due to supply constraints linked to the Pandemic and/or war in Eastern Europe?


What kinds of pop-ups or sub-3500lb trailers do you all suggest? Please tell me I am missing something

I want something with a good kitchen for the MRS and a bathroom for the family. Has to sleep 4, and needs to be garage-able...


[edit] Also, not looking for / don't care about one of the "rugged" trailers... The kinds of trails I off-road on you can't even pull those. Also, to say they are priced ridiculously high is an epic understatement.

Not impressed with this dealer, but they might give you some ideas - most of their units are small, possible to tow behind a Jeep.

Most of the small campers are not going to have a great bathroom setup. I haven't looked at the A-frame style, are they any better?

Thanks!

I expect the bathroom to suck, but anything will suck less than using public toilets. If I found the right layout, I would live without the toilet - having a good kitchen is the most important optional part.

Have you looked at Aliners. Some pretty cool floor plans.

I guess you could also look at some of the T@B floor plans. We love our T@B 400 but it’s probably a little big for what you want. Around 3400 pounds fully loaded. 335 pound hitch weight.



Also look at the T@B320. Smaller and lighter but still a decent bathroom and kitchen.

Good luck with your search.

Our T@B 320S Boondock. Small (15 foot total length, ~2000 lbs.), easy to pull and has everything we need. It's our hard shell tent.

Great picture collage. Nice combo.

I had two different TrailManors popups (27 and 30 foot) I towed with a highlander. They had separate bathrooms Dry weight was around #2,900 lbs for my 30 foot one.
