    I got your trailer in my backyard. It has four 15" wheels, torsion suspension, all aluminum including the entire frame and you can wear a big hat in it. Inside height 84"

    2 windows, screen door, 12VDC & 30 amp electric with forced air propane furnace. Rear door is a ramp that can carry 4 men, or be a patio
    ,power converter LED lamps big deep cycle battery, fans. and more extras

    An upgraded one of these https://completetrailers.com/2020-legend-7'-x-19'-deluxe-v-nose-$9,695-henderson-tx-76248/6835810 mine is 2018

    My tow vehicle matches, aluminum 2017 F150 tow package, 36 gallon gas tank. Leer cap, Bed rug

    I may sell the whole kit, with the aluminum hitch!

    Since we get 4 pics, here is a brief history of towing

    PS - on anything big enough for me to stand in, anyway...6'3" and add for a hat.

    This might be the trailer I would want. It does have 16" wheels.

    We have always wanted to be able to camp where we wanted to be, and not rush around looking for a hotel. Now that we are both retired we settled on a
    sportsmobile (https://sportsmobile.com/) 4x4 Sprinter. The upkeep on the Sprinter may be higher, but the safety features are great. SMB campers are well done, and the pop top gives you more room. We rented a Jucy camper van in CA for 10 days and loved sleeping up in the penthouse. Our van is being out-fitted now.
    Look for used SMBs, there are a few out there. Study up on them. Also, look at this web site for a guide to decide on what you need/want:https://www.thefitrv.com/
