Sounds like you got a great trailer and are on the way to making it even better, congratulations!
7x14 is definitely a REALLY good sweet spot in terms of size. I miss the agility of a smaller trailer with the 8.5x20 trailer for sure. All the time when I was trailer shopping I constantly kept asking myself what I value more: Being comfy when stopped or being comfy when towing. The amenities of the bigger trailer are nice but I've found I really have to change and adapt my driving style when not on the highway compared to a smaller setup.
Also gotta say I love L-track, that's the way to go. Maybe, in the grand scheme of things, it isn't "better" but it feels slicker and you can really dial in locations of stuff due to the smaller footprint.
Egg Zactly. Every trailer is a compromise.
At 7' wide, this is tight but for me, the extra wee bit of length gives it broader utility...perhaps just enough. Seems like even a 16'+V, becomes navigationally borderline. At that point, might as well jump straight into the proper toy hauler as you did.
By the way, a 'proper' toy hauler wasn't on my radar until I saw a 28' ATC unit with a queen bedroom...wow. Before I ever spent 2x on an Airstream, that would be it! You chose well.
For now, agreed, this one feels like the sweet spot. If not, it has other uses.
E-track is versatile but industrial. In a small trailer, it's visually overpowering. L-track is elegant and I wish I had seen it first.
Oh well, just a few holes to patch after this inaugural road trip.
