19' Bambi questions...

[yosemitesam]

Hi all, I have a couple Questions...

I have a 2004 Expedition...5.4L 3.73 gears, HD Tow group, and it is rear wheel drive. 75% of max somewhere in the 6500 lb range.

I am very curious and interested in the 19' International
Bambi. I know my vehicle should tow this with ease...and hoping it will fulfill our needs while in the wilderness.

For a bit of background. There is my wife and I, our 2 year old son, and we have another baby due (a boy!) end of June/early July.

We would like to start camping toward the end of this summer again. We both grew up camping in either pop-ups, or trailers, and tents, and have camped in tents ourselves, but have not owned a trailer ourselves ever.

My question goes out to those with the 19' Bambi's...and those who have upgraded from one.

We will probably camp at most, 1 or 2 times per year up to a week at a time, and the rest of the use will be over long weekends throughout the year...so like, 2 nights at a time. We are young, so don't have the ability to leave our jobs much more than this.

Are we going to be annoyed by this trailer with two small children? Are the corner beds at 48" wide really annoying for two adults? Or will they be just fine for our usage?

Also, I would like to hear opinions on single vs dual axle trailer towing...if it matters that much, or if it really doesn't. My next choice would be a 25' Safari, as to me, a 22' International is too costly for us, and the 28' would be way too much trailer for our vehicle...

I appreciate all your answers!
