Welcome Aboard Ray,
If you are anywhere near Rice, TX, you will likely find it helpful to tour the
Casita factory located there.
http://casitatraveltrailers.com/ You may not want a
Casita particularly if you are over six feet tall, but you will find it informative. Some of the other manufacturers have more headroom. I am also shopping. I found it very educational and fun to pack a tent and attend an egg
rally. The people are very friendly and amazingly helpful. You can see trailers from several companies in one place.
Rallies, Get-togethers, Molded Meets (Upcoming) - Fiberglass RV I suggest spending some time asking yourself exactly what you want from your travels. As your answer becomes more specific, you will have a better idea of which trailer will provide the experience you seek. Unless you have already fallen in love with a RAV4, you may wish to pick your trailer before settling on a tow vehicle. As an example, if you buy a RAV4 and
fall in love with a
Casita 5th Wheel, you're in a pickle.
Happy Hunting,
Ken
