This model has three external storage areas. Indoors, the pantry shelves are removable, so you can maximize storage space as you see fit.
Parents who value privacy will appreciate the sleeping arrangements. Bunk beds are located at the front of the trailer and a king-size bed at the back.
Most models will include a 32-inch HDTV in the living area. This is great for rainy days when you’re stuck inside, especially with little ones.

I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast who has gone on several excursions along the coasts and has visited 31 of the 50 United States. One of the most important things to me personally is making the most of each day. I'm firmly entrenched in the middle-class and don't mind at all. My freedom and ability to travel and spend time outdoors are more important to me than working at a desk and putting more money in the CEO’s pockets. If camping and active living is your priority, too, you’ve come to the right place.
