JD,
That's bigger than the ones we saw but it sure looks comfortable. How much does it weigh and how does it tow ? I have a friend that had a storage trailer (no tent) and he had a heck of a time with it pushing him on the turns. It actually scared him on the first trip. Someone told him you're only supposed to have 25 lbs. of tongue weight so I offered to weld an extension on for him. He said the hell with it and sold the trailer.
Hey Mike!
Keep in mind these pictures show the add-a-room which adds about 10 feet to the front of the tent. I only use that when I am staying somewhere for a few days. Otherwise, there is a smaller screen room I can put on the front. For short stays, I don't use either one as the front fold out part is a 6' X 6' enclosed area for dressing, etc. Loaded it weighs between 400 and 425 lbs. Trick is to get the tongue weight right (about 10% to 15% of the total) and it tows like a dream. Never had this push me in corners, but with the extra weight, I ride pretty cautiously when towing. You definitely know it is back there during low speed manuvers, like in a parking lot, but once your up to speed I can almost forget it's back there. Run 70 to 75 MPH on the Interstate with it. I also have an extra foot on tongue length which helps the balance and makes it easier hitting the right tongue weight. Lots of good websites with plenty of information on towing, wiring for trailer, loading, hitches, etc.
I would definitely go with a good used one if you can find one. The new ones are just too expensive unless you plan to use it a lot.
Good luck.
