:) At the age of three and a half, I had a red tractor with pedals and a matching red trailer. And that's pretty much what I would have packed too: cardboard to build a little house with a floor using Scotch tape. :lol:

An astronomer's image viewing trailer for mountain tops. He sets up the automated, digital telescope outside and runs the cables inside to the power source and the computer. Remote control and viewing: 8)

I personally shopped the trailers at the Salt Lake City Trailers Plus store. Went back twice to look and compare. Nice salesman, good selection, but only slightly lower prices on much less quality than what I ended up with. I wasn't all that impressed with the brand. Seemed like the lower of the lower end, to me anyway. They were willing to wheel and deal though if that's what I had wanted, and were professional throughout. I just chose another brand and dealer.

(and they DID have a trailer with the tent-trailer bunks on the lot, but I recall it being kinda pricey.)

waterboy,

I'll bet that Haulmark would build one for you with the fold out wings if you ask.

waterboybueche;

look also at http://www.livinlite.com/VRV-overview.php.

Livin'Lite Makes the Quicksilver all-alluminum brand range of campers and the new CampLite all aluminum TT.

They have the VRV Cargo/Camping trailer. It comes with the foldout beds in the walls. I've never seen them in person but the web site and the pdf brochures they have sure look like they are a quality product. They have multiple sizes and fit outs that look quite complete - a cargo conversion from the factory almost pretty much. I don't know how pricey they are but they appear to have a pretty well thought out product line.

'Thought it might be interesting viewing.

We are very excited to start working on the trailer... We will have to wait a couple months though...
