20ish foot travel trailer with a slide?

My wife and I recently sold our Flagstaff MicroLite 18FBR, so now we have the excitement of researching a new travel trailer that is slightly larger. We have it narrowed down to either Venture RV's Sonic SN200VML (23') or Flagstaff MicroLite 21FBRS (21'6", or the cousin Rockwood MiniLite). Those two models are located fairly local to us. Prior to selling this past fall, I had done what I 'think' was fairly extensive research on the internet machine for floor plans that would fit our criteria. The main limitation is length, so that we are able to keep it on the side of our driveway at home. Can be no longer than 24' ball to bumper as the rough measurement that will fit.

Anywho....I guess I'm posting to see if maybe there is a similar floorplan close to these that maybe I'm missing? Either of these floor plans would work for us, we like some things better on each than the other, but a blend of both would be perfect.

Secondarily...the Sonic really is the one that has our attention. The searches I've done here on the forum doesn't yield anything for the 200VML model. Anyone happen to have one, and has any input on them by chance, and just hasn't posted?

Thanks in advance.....

    Another vote for Lance.
    Also, a couple of the smaller Surveyors- the 201 for 2015 and the 189 for 2014.
    And the Winnebago Minnies. They are nice!

    Skyline sells 19 and 20 ft TT's with slides.

    Nomad, Joey, Aljo, Texan, several other "brands" but all the same thing.

    If you don't need/want a walk around queen look at the lance 1685. Same great slide!

    We looked at a Sonic - can't remember the model number (220?) and we liked the Lance slide size and overall quality better, but it did cost more.


    X2, Lance makes well constructed RVer friendly multiple models/floor plans, and lengths. When you walk through and inspect the trailers, you really get sense that Lance trailers are designed and built by people who actually RV.
    Lance trailers in calif. keep their resale value. Trying to find a used Lance is difficult.

    Do you require a walk-around bed ? If not ( if you can get by with a side to side bed ) the Funfinder 189FDS is worth looking at.
    By turning the bed sideways, you "gain" about 26" of floorspace for daytime use.
