Coachmen Viking 17BH
Found a used 2015 in excellent condition for sale and wanted some feedback on if I should purchase this or pass it up. It has been for sale for awhile which kinda scares me, but it should fit my need...

Just a thought, looking for some feedback from others who know this tow vehicle.
What is the location of the freshwater tank . You might have to travel with it empty.
Looking at the specs and floor plan pic, it seems to me that you would be adding a lot of weight in front of the single axle re: storage.
The fridge loaded with food, the under seat dinette storage under both cushions , the front bed overhead cabinets plus the under bed storage might add a lot of weight to the tongue of this trailer.
Will the truck you plan to use handle that much more TW and will the trucks payload be able to handle it as well once you load the truck with cargo and people ? Suppose this tongue weight on a scale ends up up being 2x the posed dry wt. ? (like my trailer is )
Also from my experience, i would try out the dinette to see how comfortable it is to sit there for extended periods of time in case you have inclement weather. Its the only place to sit in that trailer.
