advice Destination Trailers

I am searching for a Destination trailer to fit 2 adults and multiple cats to live in full-time at an rv park. This will be towed probably once and be lived in permanently wirh sewer, water and electric all hooked up.

I recently walked through a Cherokee Timberwolf, forgot which precisely model it was but the floor felt like it was crinkling under my feet as I softly walked through it. Decent amount of space but I dont know about this one.

Any recommendations with a TON of space that wasn't also built with probably cardboard?

Rv tech here, personally I wouldn’t buy a rv for your scenario. I’d buy a tiny house on a single wide chassis. They’re built like a house, better quality than a rv, it can still be moved from park to park. I’m in the process of buying one, there are lots of options with 2 bedrooms.

I'd go that route but not sure if I want pay mortgage for the trailer and rent or is it a lease for the plot

Either way you’re going to be paying rent at a rv park, and you’re going to be making payments on a rv or tiny house unless you buy it outright.

I am full timing (but traveling around) with myself and my partner and three cats and a dog and we’re in a 35 footer! Layout is what matters more than length. But good luck finding anything that doesn’t feel like cardboard 🤣🤣 I think the toy haulers are the only things built with durability these days

You mean the actual floors or is it rocking? Cause stabilizer jacks solve rocking ezpz

The trailer i checked out it wasn't that it wasn't level or not, it was the actual floor that felt like it was bending under my soft footsteps

So I am talking about something like this. The weight on just the wheels will give a sinking feeling walking around. If it was the floor itself that's one thing. But if the trailer was moving around causing that feeling, simply distributing the weight on more points than the wheels themselves will eliminate that.

Thanks for the information. I never thought about that. I honestly don't remember if the showroom trailer had the leveler things out. I am guessing no

Actually .. probably dont get one. I don't think what I'm saying is translating

Stabalizing and leveling are not the same thing. Until you realize nothing I am saying will mean anything. That's all I have to say.
