Looking at our first travel trailer. Tow vehicle is rated to only 4,000 lbs, so I've decided I really want a trailer under 3,000 lbs dry weight.
MUST have a queen bed and 2 bunks.
Also a "real" 2 door fridge/freezer and at least a little counter space, as my wife likes to cook. (If any have a combination convection oven/microwave, let me know, she'd love to occasionally bake a sheet of cookies or brownies.)
Features I've seen that seem great, though are not a must-have: power awning, power jack, outdoor TV mount, solar, inside/outside bluetooth speakers. As close as possible to a full queen bed would be nice, the wife and I are both tall and not super skinny. Kids are tall too, not sure if some bunks are roomier than others.
Models on my list are:
Gulfstream SuperLite 19DS (how can they make a model with a slide, that is lighter than their non slide models at just 2802 lbs?)
Gulfstream SuperLite 198BH (2675 lbs - but it has a dorm fridge)
Gulfstream SuperLite 199DD (3100 lbs - pushing my weight target)
Forest River Wolf Pup 16BHS (3100 lbs - pushing my weight target)
Winnebago Micro Minnie 1700BH (think this one only comes with a dorm fridge; also really pushing my weight target at 3280 lbs)
What else is out there? Right now I'm leaning towards the SuperLite 19DS.
Price is flexible, I'm willing to spend more for a lighter/better quality unit especially if it retains value better, has better after sales support, etc.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Brian
