I currently own a fairly ancient pop-up trailer, TrailManor 2619.
The pros (for me): 2400 lb empty weight, low profile for minimal drag, 19ft length when trailering, 26ft when popped up, 2 queen sized mattresses.
The cons (for me): as I am getting older, it is getting harder to pop-up, no toy hauling capability, no access to toilet when down (19ft configuration while towing), a bit drafty in cold weather (loses heat easily), takes ~15 minutes to setup or drop back down (so a pain when you need to get something out of it in 19ft configuration).
There are probably more, but those are the high/low lights.
My needs aren't extravagant on the toy garage; two emtbs & one electric trials motorcycle. I also am looking for a dedicated bedroom with at least a queen sized bed.
Other like to haves: small and light (within reason) ideally 21 to 27ft length, <4000 lbs empty, as aerodynamic as possible behind the cybertruck.
Otherwise fairly normal but not luxurious amenities: fridge, stove, bathroom, seating for at least four.
Other non-essentials: possibly have the garage ramp also function as a deck.
Ideally not prohibitively expensive ~$30K.
Hopefully something in that neighborhood.
I have started to look around a bit, and so far there seems like it might be possible. I also hope that manufacturers will gravitate to designs specifically for electric trucks.
But nothing works as well as input from similarly interested parties to share their experience and knowledge.
Please share your thoughts.
