Suggestions for a complete newbie who has no experience with towing. I've been doing tons of research for years. At this point, I've narrow down to the OPUS OP2/4 and the Intech Explore Flyer.
Family size 2+2. A boy (13) & a girl (10)
My wife like the room available on the Intech if we can opt. for the curb-side tip out bed along with the driver side tip out which comes standard. Then during the night, the center area can be used with a toilet without stepping out. My concern is taking it to locations outside of state park campgrounds.
For the OP2/4, my understanding is that it is build better with more capable suspensions. The GVWR is actually rated higher than the Jeep Tow rating. For example, the OP4 has a Dry Weight of 2870 lbs which provide a little room for cargo.
What I like about the OPUS 2 or 4:
The lower height may make it easier to tow even with the added weight?! (I am guessing)
The lower height should allow me to fit it inside a standard garage.
Better build quality?
My worry: The air system are more complex, and break easier?
My original plan is to start off with a hiker trailer, but my wife reject the idea of sleeping inside a small confined space that's just enough for sleeping.
