Best new camper 17-20ft range?

The camplite and lance are out of budget. We are trying to stay at 12k or less.

Our Coleman 19 foot has a queen bed too. Coleman Lantern CT 16 FB has several small TT's the prices are reasonable. They are lightweight 3088 LB and hitch weight is 339LBS and can be pulled with a 1/2 ton P/U. We have had ours over a year and had no problems at all with it, I have done quite a few mods to make it ours.

That would be news to me - our 19' 2014 Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS has a short queen which I've lengthened to a full queen, current models have a full 80" long queen bed.

I have a Shadow Cruiser 195WSB and pull it with a beefed up 1500 Silverado. It has a queen bed in front and a small slide out couch. Max wt 5300 lbs.

Just to set the record straight, we have a queen bed in a 12 foot trailer! (Fun Finder X-139) Unfortunately, they don't make that model any more.

I would look at the very smallest Lance trailers. Well built, lots of features.

FWIW All Lance TT have full size queen beds.

Look at the 19 foot Escape and the Camplite trailers

First you have to match the tow vehicle's ratings. What is the max cargo? This is usually found on a door jamb sticker.

Max cargo includes the trailer tongue weight, people and stuff and is often the limiting factor in trailer selection.

The majority of the trailer are built to various price points, you get what you pay for. Some models, such as Airstream, Lance, Bigfoot, Casita and others have unique features and hence command a higher price.

Dry weight means little, gross weight is the number to consider.

I always suggest renting a unit similar to what you think you want. A week or so on the road will tell you a lot.
