Thanks for all the input guys. I actually has forgotten about Outdoor RV. They are now my 1st choice, however nobody nearby has the floorplan I like (31KQBS). Not a show-stopper, however like A/F the limited inventory may make the dealer less willing to negotiate a good price. I did find some in Boise, so we'll see how that works out.
Takena isn't as big as I'm looking for. I did check out the Forest Rivers, but all the local dealers seem to be out of stock of those larger units too, at least higher end large kitchen bunkhouse models. It seems dealers like to stock the low end bunkhouses, or nicer trailers with front caps but not in BH models.
So the the Outback 323 is a very close 2nd choice at this point. I like the kitchen especially. But I still have reservations about Keystones' durability, especially since I will be taking it off-highway. Carrying capacity of that unit is only about 1200 pounds, and I could easily see myself going over that. The 15" tires and 10" brakes seem a little lacking for a 36' full-wall slide-out trailer. I will say that so far, Curtis Trailers has been great to work with, and was able to answer all of the questions I had, and alleviated some of my concerns.
