Salesman at the local dealer, knowing that I had no intention of buying for at least two years, says we won't be happy with a straight trailer. Says that we should focus on the ones with the slide-out sections for the space, based upon the 3-4 week scenario. He also said look in the 24 - 26 foot range, for ease of handling both in the campgrounds and in towns. And to make sure we visit at least two RV shows for ideas.
Just curious since you have a pickup: any reason why you aren't looking at 5th wheels? They are allegedly easier on the road, have tons of room, and you can even get a "toy hauler" version where your bike can be stored safe, dry and ready to roll on arrival?
