This is going to be a fun forum 
But at 23', I think we're too big.
Still, it will be interesting to see how folks get the most out of the little ones.

We have a 17ft. molded fiberglass Casita. We have camped in tents, PUPs, larger TT and 29ft. Class C. This is by far the easiest camping unit we have had. We are currently modifying our side dinette into a sofa/bed.

Glad that a forum was created for small TT's!
Don't know if we qualify but we have a 22ft Hi-Lo and we really love it, easy tow and much better mileage compared to when we had full size trailers, even compared to when we had a 19ft hybrid TT.
The biggest TT we had was a 27ft, never again. We prefer smaller, easier plus we prefer state parks where sites are smaller and don't really accommodate the big rigs. As someone already posted, we use the TT for sleeping and showering or getting out of wet/rainy weather, otherwise we're outside. OK, we also use the TT for napping!

Our small TT is 23' and we love it. I actually went on Forest Rivers' website and our TT is now rated as being a mini. It is perfect for our family. The only thing that I need to do now is weigh it with all the must haves that I like to take with us. DH says that he doesn't think that our TV can hold another must have being in our TT. The scale will tell the tale.

We have a 21" Gulfstream Amerilite. This is an upgrade from a PUP for us so the TT is very satisfying to us..It is supposed to sleep 3, has a queen bed and the dinette table fold down so we can also bring a grandchild camping with us every now and then. We, like others have said, like to stay at state parks and spend much of our time outside. We haven't yet purchased a generator, but plan on doing so soon and thus we will hopefully get a few longer trips in next month.
Hope to see some of you out on the road!

We can sit here all day and discuss the tape measured length, but I believe the attitude is more important -- I call it Life in the Small Lane. A 25' in dispersed camping is small and a Teardrop in a full-hookup RV park with WiFi, cable and hot tub is large...
I FullTimed for three years in a Jayco 16' and then another six years in a Scamp 13'. My next rig will probably be a Teardrop because the Scamp, at 7'4" is a bit of a Blivet in my 7'0" garage...

Well We have a 24' 1987 Felltwood Prowler (1st trailer) I know its not as small as most of the people on here, however we pack it full with 2 kids (one of them being an infant) and a labrador. Now that being said it turns out to be pretty small for us, so I think I apply. I was under the impression that this forum is for ideas on camping with a small trailer. Maybe not. However I will gie some tips that help us camp with small quarters.
1) Most of our "stuff" stays in the TV while we are camping, that way extra blankets, ice chests, etc are not in the way in the TT. If we need them the TV is right there for access.
2) We have a small bumper rack on the back of the TT for storage on the exterior. On that bumper rack I have a diamond plate truck bed box bolted to it. It locks and stores a lot of stuff instead of putting it in the TT
3) Instead of duffle bags for all of our clothes, we use totes that are transparent with our names on them. They store easily, and you can see your clothing inside the tote. This makes it easier to find what your looking for. The totes easily stack in the corner of the TT and are out of the way.
Happy camping!

Hmmmm...and all this time I thought it was just Genetics. I guess we would be considered small, compared to most of what I see on the roads around here. We just bought a Keystone Freedom Lite 185QB. It's basically a 21', with a queen bed slide-out in the rear. It fits our needs, and with the slide-out, creates enough floor space to not be tripping over the dogs. The farthest we've gone so far with it is....easy, from the dealership home. But we plan to make the most of it this summer and for years to come.
Maybe we'll run into a few of you around the great NW.

WOW it's up and ready. THANK YOU so much for this new section. Yippie we fit right in on the small but large heart of our 12ft. 1975 go tag along. My first camper ever and i couldn't be more excited. Something I can handle all by myself and let me tell ya I feel six feet tall when I am pulling her around. I love the stares and omg what did you buy. I finally got my vanity tag in the making. Lil Runt and let me tell ya she will be truly loved and pampered.
