Our Turtleback Expedition arrived this week! We're still getting settled in and getting our bearings, but so far, we've been blown away with this trailer.
Dry weight: 1850 lbs
Tongue weight with Icon Suspension upgrade: 180lbs
Dimensions: 67"H x 74.25"W x 130"L, but tire size and roof top tent may affect overall height.
Water tank: 42 gallons
Solar ready/battery options
Full kitchen in the back (the real reason we seriously started looking into it) with plumbed propane into a Cook Partner stove.
Hot water heater with shower spigot.
Options for awnings and shower tents, etc.
We got the 23 Zero Walkabout 87, which is their biggest tent, to fit our family comfortably up top, but there are smaller and lighter weight options. Our plan is to store ours in our garage (another huge appeal of this trailer vs other larger trailers), but with the tent, it exceeded our height limits. I built a ramp system to make it easy to take the tent on and off if anyone is interested in that.
So far, it's easy to forget that it's behind us when towing it with the Ascent. It follows nicely right along.
If anyone has questions about it, I'll be happy to answer them here as we gain more experience with it.
