Ah, I shouldn't try thinking after 10 hours of work. :)

Actually, you would subtract half the weight of the dolly, as the other half is carried on the board on the other side. Probably not that great of an am
mount though.

Holy Bat Crap! Methinks we are splitting hairs here.

If the tongue weight is weighed detached at the same height it is while towing, you will get an accurate tongue weight. This is the actual...

I never weighed my 19 in the 6+ years I had it, other than the tongue once.

When I cleaned all of gear out of it, I was actually surprised how little we had. No way there was even 200 lbs. If...

It would be interesting, for sure. I bet there will be a wide variance to the responses.

I have never done 10 days straight boondocking, yet. 7 is the longest so far. We do often have an outhouse...

Bob, you must be fairly big water consumers, or maybe we are just low volume users? With a separate 5 gallon can for cooking and drinking, we never once came close to running out with our 19 while...

No way Dave, you have to now buy one of each seeing you are filled in on all the merits of both. :)

While tent trailers are great, I had one for many years and the bed sizes and simple layout was...

They can pass, and quite easily too. Even the 17 being smaller yet, allows enough room to pass. This is assuming not too many extra pounds, of course.

I share these feelings. Unfortunately I am usually awake before the sun comes in, but it sure is a nice feeling when it beats me up, and shines in and warms me. :)

I am in the camp of having the bath as small as possible, yet still be able to use when needed. I would MUCH rather have the space for use elsewhere in the trailer.

This is a good way of looking at it. All the trailers basically have 3 areas, the bed, the kitchen, and the dinette. With the 19, during the day the bed is right out of the picture, and the kitchen...

This was not the issue for us, and what fits our style. In the 19, I would have gladly given up a bit of bed size for more use elsewhere, though the wife really liked the queen size. As I am up and...

That pretty much sums it up. For us, the layout of the 21 would not work, with the bed where it is, but then it has a bit more space. Don't get me wrong, there is still LOTS of space in the 19.
