choice of rig P 3

Having the tow vehicle defined, the choice of towed vehicle was a given,
a Travel Trailer (TT)

My requirements were that for a brief time frame (less than 3 weeks at a time) I need to accommodate up to 6 people and that on 26 feet length or less.

There are many TTs available in that length with "bunkhouse" type layouts, but all I could find are severely lacking in carrying capacity and size of water tanks.

Then by accident, I stumbled on the class of trailer commonly called a Toy Box or Toy House. These have a living part and a (empty) garage part, usually in the rear with a ramp door for loading the Toys.

Reading the specs I found to my delight that most of them had good carrying capacity - they have to carry quad runners, dirt bikes, Harleys, etc - and they have much larger tank capacities, too - playing in the dirt with the toys makes one wish for a long shower afterwards.

The shorter Toy Boxes I was considering, usually had two convertible benches lengthwise in the garage area. They can be flipped flat against the wall to make room for the toys and they convert into two reasonable sized beds.

Then I found a 2005 K-Z Sportster 22 at a dealer in NH.
