As I recall, the majority of TC's in the 2000 era were wood construction. The #1 enemy of any TC is water leaks.
With that said, the < 9' floor models would often have showers that drained into the Black tank. Not a big deal if your at a full hookup site or simply don't use the inside shower.
The holding tanks on the < 9' models (even today) are fairly small. Good for a weekend adventure (with some conservation efforts).
There are also quite a few "orphaned" models from that era that might be worth looking at - as long as there is no water damage. Just about everyone had a shot bed model.
The BIG thing to remember is that even today all Camper manufacturers weight listings are bogus - the "dry weight" listed can be 100's if not 1000's of Lbs lighter than the unit that you are looking at.
(back in the late 90's and early 2000's nearly EVERYTHING was an "option" and therefore not included in the "official weight" of the camper.)
Best of luck!
