any downsides to a HW?
I have been full-timing in a '70s Apache hard-sided pop-up for over a year. I'm thinking of getting a different trailer. Here are the considerations: - GVRW under 4000 - easier break-down and set-u...

I will advocate for a TrailManor. Also have a 2417 (KD), but we have the bathroom/shower. 40 gal fresh tank, 'fridge, 6 gal water heater, lots of storage for an expandable trailer.
Tows great, expands in two minutes, and completely settled in 10 minutes. Fully-loaded for a week (water, propane, food) I am at 3,600 lbs. We use a WDH, so that takes about 500 lbs off the trailer axle. I get 21 mpg when towing the trailer, which is 7 mpg better than a full-height lightweight trailer with the same tow vehicle.
Lots of trailers available, and all have their benefits and detractions. You just need to figure out what amenities you want, what you don't want/need, and go from there. I love the TrailManor for many reasons, and encourage you to look at some. You can go larger (2720 and stay under 4,000 lbs), and also get one of three different floorplans in any length.
Good luck!
