INFORMATION YOU NEED BEFORE PURCHASE A NEW OR USED TINY TRAILER:

Eddie and I have recently been interviewing sales people, and looking at A LOT of the new tiny trailers.  I’m doing research for an upcoming review article, and Eddie thinks we need to upgrade to a trailer one with a bathroom.  I cannot tell you how many smirks, eye rolls and giggles we’ve had, because we always have our checklists in hand.  “In 30 years of selling campers I’ve never seen a guy with a spreadsheet!”, James at Camping World laughed.  So don’t worry…we’ve already blazed the trail.  Don’t hesitate to bring your checklist!!
