Hi everyone! Ian and Jordan here. We've just graduated with our bachelor's degrees at 26 and 25 years old, and are gearing up for a transition to full-time travel-trailer living. 

I received a unique opportunity to live on a horse farm in a travel trailer (which has yet to be bought- questions to follow!) by a reputable family that owns some local businesses. The husband has offered me a space to teach in his piano store, as well as to apprentice me in piano tuning (his main trade). My girlfriend will help out in the store as well, doing office work and aesthetic upkeep of the pianos in the store. 

On top of this generous offer for employment, he is also buying the travel trailer that we will be living in (if all works out, for at least a year or two). His family will use it when we find a place of our own (or if I ever get to building our dream tiny-house!) and he has asked me what kind of specifications my gf and I are looking for. 

And this is where this forum and community comes in! I just stumbled across this forum while researching travel-trailers, and I thought it would be a good idea to learn from people who are actually living this reality. I want to make sure I give some good input and clear guidelines to our benefactor for what my gf and I absolutely need for full-time travel-trailer living. 

Before I started looking into travel-trailers, I spent a good deal of time looking into tiny houses, as this is what I ultimately want to live in. But trailer living is great too! I just don't know as much about it. Some concerns for trailer living include toxic building materials, and what to look out for in this regard. I'm confident my gf and I can live in a space that's about 250-300 sq feet. And 30 ft long seems like a good length. Most important amenities we would need would be a full stove, kitchen and fridge. Bed could be queen size, and it would be nice to have a full bathtub, but not necessary. We would like some desk space for working, and a space to eat and relax. There are utility hook-ups on the property. 

I suppose I'm just looking for some general advice, maybe to be pointed to some more travel-trailer resources, or other forums, blogs, places to look at models, etc. I still don't know what's out there in terms of layouts, the good non-toxic models (or at least models that take into account toxicity even if it's not perfect). Any advice for winter trailer living? We're moving in January to Talent, OR, and it can get to 20 degrees F, and snows sometimes. Nothing extreme, though. Any and all advice/comments/questions are welcomed!
