if money is not an issue - I would go with the Hallmark. I have never owned one.
We did get a used 2003 Outfitter Apex (I think) it was the 9'5" model what ever that is. The camper was ok, but the mfg. is not. Had an issue and they just said too bad, go some where else. We got your money. Actually they did not say that, but they just as well did when they told me it was not their problem, to go somewhere else for help.
Also Northstar would be a good one.
If money is an issue you might consider Palomino, probably not as well made, but way less money. A lot more for the dollar.
Good luck.
Interestingly we have a Palomino and it was inexpensive and I run it off road all the time. Not even a squeak and nothing has failed in 2 years. Not as luxurious as some but works just fine for the 2 of us and our dog.
I can buy a lot of fuel and do a lot of maintenance for the price difference. Mine was 15 OTD and that is with a full wet bath, double propane tanks and a queen bed and a real no crank electric roof system with a remote. I looked at every brand, weighed the price difference, read the negative reviews and bought one anyway... and have had zero issues. Maybe I'm lucky. No leaks, no squeaks, fit and finish is excellent. Not bad for 15 grand. In my 3rd year with it. Now I do keep it inside when we aren't using it, why I bought a pop up in the first place so I could put it in the garage. I had a Lance and it had to stay outside. Not this one.
