destination trailer advice please

[AlmostBoatless]

We have found our campground for the summers and would like to trade our fifth wheel for a destination trailer about 34 feet. Need advice on models please.

Front kitchen (don't like to walk into the kitchen) and front kitchen seem to have more counter space.
Queen or King with nite stands each side, no other beds needed
Separate toilet room
No tub just standup shower
Would love room for a small residential fridge but not required.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thank you! 🙂

don't remember the allowable sq ft for a Park Model (nor a destination trailer) but one thing that they did do in many of the park models that I saw to "exceed" the limit was to ad a "storage" deck up a short flight of stairs. could make a good play/sleeping area for kids.

I don't think you will find Destination Trailers much smaller than 39 feet. All of Jayco's Destination Trailers (the Jayflight Bungalow line) are 40' long.

I would look at Park Models if the campground allows them. I have seen park models as short as 30 feet.

Don't forget to look at Park Models. We have a 2016 Kropf Park model and love it. At our campground, approximately 90% of the sites are permanent units. Our unit is so roomy and comfortable. We ordered the extra insulation package which makes cold weather camping comfortable.

I have a 39 fden keystone 2015.
Bit larger then you want. But the extra space is worth it.
Only reget I have is, in this model. Not enough counter space. Wish it had an island.
Do I recommend keystone. I am on the fence. A few hiccups with it. But minor. Love the high ceilings and big bathroom.
I am eyeing the 2019 fden keystone.

Same trailer I'm looking at for the seasonal 40-CRS

My sons trailer does have black, fresh, and grey water but is not designed for extensive travel. It is much taller than a normal travel trailer, has a very heavy tongue weight, has residential appliences, and a large sliding glass door for entrance. Although I towed it from Grand Rapids up to its present resting place near Traverse City I would not want to be towing it on a long trip. It is designed to be parked, hooked up, and enjoyed! 🙂

Here is a picture of its home now - taken from under the awning of our own trailer. 🙂

thanks for the replys. Yes, we want something that doesn't move. I can't handle the traffic any longer with our FW.

thanks, Barney, but 40 is way too big for us, and for our site. So, I guess we'll have to consider a TT, any advice for front kitchen and separate toilet?

thanks, again!

Destination trailer is a separate category of trailer somewhere between TT and park model.

Forest River destination trailers

I note that some of those have black water tanks and evidently are just large TTS???????????
