New Member looking for a camping trailer

[Fiekie112]

Hi There Fellow Campers

I'm new and reside in Westrand GP, created my account maybe over a decade ago and have largely use this group when researching camping spots. I have a Santa Fe 2014 2.2 diesel auto and looking for a 2nd hand camping trailer with RTT, I've been looking at the Jurgens xt140 which I really like but because it requires an EB license I've changed my mind and prefer keeping it under 750 GVT so that I can use my current license (I just dread the process and can't be bothered)
I've always like the looks of the Wilderness 310, aesthetically I just think it's beautiful with the black rims and trim , light weight and easy access doors. We a family of 6 of which 3 are teens so looking at the senior tentco with added room and awning which I think will be big enough. I would like to kit it out with electricity to power a fridge (max 3 days), charge cellphones adhoc, 1 x laptop and lights, everything else will be gas and fire.
Would welcome any suggestion /input
-Any reasons why I should bite the bullet with EB and go for the Xt140 over Wilderness 310
-Prefer Tentco but looks like Howling Moon is slightly less, Tenco looks better quality though.
-Electric - what size invertor is recommended for the above setup, from what I've researched I will need 2 x deep cycle batteries with monitoring system and plug points, anything else (no plans for solar as yet but maybe later down the line)

My advice would be to go rent one or two different ones before you go down the rabbit hole. Doing this can really give you a good perspective on your needs.

The Wilderness 310 was made by Challenger. You could widen your search by looking at the Challenger Bundu Basher. I have one. Have had it for more than 10 years and its still perfect. It tows like a dream.

I would rent a wilderness and go camp, and a XT120 - make your decision from there. But definitely rent something first, see if it works before you spend the money, look at kampi.co.za

Hi Morne I Have a 2016 Wildebees Kalfie. I am selling due to an injury that prevents me from using the bed on top.

The issue is I don't have an EB license so doubt I can rent the Xt120 to test it out.
