Small Toy Hauler - East Coast

I like my 2010 Cruiser RV Funfinder Xtra XT-245. I had to be careful not to overload an F150 with 1600 lb. payload. I waited 53 weeks for a clean used one to come available near my home. If weight is not an issue, there are many new toy haulers available. I have heard good things about the Evergreen and Forest River Work and Play lines, but they were all too heavy for my truck.
Quality, durability and low maintenance is hard to find in a toy hauler travel trailer. I was advised to avoid the corrugated aluminum siding because it is more difficult to clean. I do like the ducted AC in mine. The front bed is a "short queen" but could be adapted to a full length queen mattress with a little carpentry work. I did have to fix a light switch that was wired incorrectly when it was built. It was 4 years old when I got it and I did have to get a leak fixed. It had been stored inside so there wasn't any damage. The better RV repair shops now have a method to pressurize the interior and spray the exterior with soapy water to find air leaks. I think if I ever buy another one, new or used, I will get the leak test done.
