Thanks for posting your experiences with trailer size. And your recommendation of a used Casita, as a lower cost alternative to learn how willing we are to camp out of a small trailer.
We are pretty good about researching and buying things new. But horrible at buying used or selling them. That’s why we are trying hard to research our “idea” and purchase, so we don’t end up owning a small travel trailer that we hardly ever use. So we will look for opportunities to rent a small trailer to test our willingness to “camp & travel small”.
We’d love to hear the stories of Nesters and how they use their Nest.
More background…
The main reasons for us to camp out of a small trailer, rather than just stay at a nearby hotel/motel, are,
- reducing the travel time to/from a park’s “attractions” each day,
- the flexibility to take an afternoon nap (on check out/in days),
- enjoying the park after hours.
Our travel/camping “idea” includes our current BMW X5 35d as the tow vehicle. So we aren’t interested in any trailer that requires buying a different tow vehicle.
Thanks again for your insights.
