5/9/2023 0 Comments Boondocking trailerIt was either a low liner or a lil loafer, I can't recall. Check out the Nash and Artic Fox line.īack in the 60's a friend of mine had a small TT. Good luck in your search, please post what you find, most of us are always looking to upgrade. It's certainly not the HTT for everyone, but for us who have no need or desire for full hook ups it works very well. We have dragged it through 8 inches of muddy rutted roads to some very remote, quiet and absolutely beautiful campsites. It's very basic, light weight, GVWR of 3200 pounds. We finally settled on a Bantam Flier F-17 Rocky Mountain Edition, we loved the oversized tires giving it better ground clearance, and the 43 gallons fresh water capacity. We too were challenged in finding a unit for dirt roads and remote camping. I volunteer with the local USFS Ranger District and as a result have a good number of out of the way locales "staked out" for boondocking. ![]() While we don't hit Baja, or the Yukon, it's travelled many a forest road in the high Sierras. I flipped the axel and raised it two inches and it is a great little go anywhere unit. We have hung on to our li'l 18' (overall) for the very reasons you mentioned. Out in the real wild.(where there is no hookups or wifi! wooo wee whooo! /and we hunt for fire wood, and cook on the fire! And eat what we catch.Įdited 08/28/07 08:40pm by an administrator/moderator *Ġ6 F-150 Lariat 4X4, 5.4, 3.73 rear. ![]() Then it is real camping, not bringing your house with you! I get to see things that only real campers get to see, feel or experience. It gets real quiet, and light perfect, when the big boys can't get there. Point is, this rig goes a lot of places that the 27, and 31 foot folks can't dream of. It would work well for three, and be OK for four. This rig is short enough to go in tight places, but it is comforatable for my wife and I. I could lift it another 3 inches, which I plan to do this winter. ![]() Stock it is about 5 inches higher than a standard TT. It is 22 feet from bumper to hitch ball reciver. I would bet there is a market for such a beast - think of Baja, or the Southwest, or Alaska, or the Yukon. Would it make sense to have something like this custom built? I have no idea if it is possible or what it would cost. I may be dreaming here - I have looked long and hard, but no luck. In my dreams, I would like to find a very small hard sided trailer, lightweight with great clearance, very rugged and durable. I really like the back country - but my trailer is not set up for long rides on really rough roads. Topic: Best boondocking trailer? Or maybe custom built?
