Been interested in campers for a while off and on, a little more now that we are approaching retirement. I've always liked the Air Stream design but they seem heavy and expensive. Lately I've run across Casita brand which has some of the attributes of the Air Stream I like, mostly the more aerodynamic design (although not metal skinned.) What are some other decent quality bumper pulls? Kind of looking at something in the approx 15' range (at least for now.) Ideally we want something with black, gray, and domestic water for primitive set up for short periods if necessary. Would be great to overnight at a truck stop or just go off road for a couple of days (I've done some pretty extensive backpacking over years, the wife's idea of "roughing it" is a Hampton so this is the compromise.)
When I think of travel trailers and repairs, I have flashbacks to my youth where after my school job sometimes involved installing things or making repairs in mobile homes. We used to hate them because everything, parts, measurements, even tools, were always "one off". Are there any brands that are easier to fix and repair? Find replacement parts and appliances? ... which leads in to the next question, how old is too old when buying used.
I'm kinda' tall, is it reasonable to expect to find a camper that has a long enough bed (queen) my feet don't hang off the end (something the military never quite figured out...)
thanks
