Eureka!

Brian aka "master of internet research" Bureson found a gem tonight...

But first, I should tell you how we got there.  First he found this: The Scotty Sportsman





 I LOVE this one.  My heart does the whole pitter patter thing.  But there are a few major drawbacks.  The major one being that there are no walls around the toilet.  Of course we could hang a curtain or something.  But sanitarily speaking, having a toilet out in the open 4 feed from where our food is prepared... Let's just say it's not ideal

Then he found this: The Paradise Coast Silver Beach!




So cute!  Small & has most of what we need (with the added bonus of being stylish)... but the toilet has no walls around it and maybe it's too small.  Update: I was obviously too tired to write this last night.  This trailer does have an enclosed bathroom.  The drawbacks to this one are that they are hard to find and the website has very little info so we just don't know enough about it. 

Then he found the Lance 1274







It's small and has most of what we need (including a decent bathroom)... but there is ZERO storage.  Seriously, I don't know who this trailer would work for.  You couldn't bring anything with you!

I'll spare you a few in the middle, but Brian finally stumbled on this beauty... The Jayco Jay Feather LGT X17Z:




This thing has pretty much EVERYTHING we want (even the little details that I want but haven't mentioned).

Pros:
18'6" in total length.  This allows us to continue camping in our favorite locations
The beds pop out giving you the feeling of camping at night
There is an outdoor shower on the back
The fact that the beds pop out gives us a lot of space in a small trailer
The refrigerator is not huge, but it's larger than a lot of the units we've seen
Water tanks are all a good size
Lot's of sleeping room in case we ever have friends travel with us.
Decent storage

Overall it's a really good option for us.  There are a few manufactures that make the same layout so I don't know if we'll end up with this specific brand... but I think we may have found a winner!

Now we just need to try to find one that's a few years old...
