Welcome! I am very familiar with tent trailers as I started out with a used one in the early 80's and have had 3 more since that time. The longest we stayed in one continuously was 5 1/2 month, from May to through September, just outside Tucson, AZ - desert heat & monsoons. I always loved them, but now, getting older, way older, we just sold ours a couple months ago and went hardside. Always loved sleeping in the tent ends with the fresh air and sounds of nature!
