You haven't said but presumably you're looking for a smaller, lighter couple's trailer than what you have now ... assuming so, I'd point you in the direction of our own Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS ... short, compact, weighs ~ 4500 lbs loaded and ready to camp, but offers everything we need in a camper. Improvements this year include a 80" full length queen bed and a vent over the main cabin to which one could add a powered vent fan. It's supplied with a power tongue jack and although I don't see any advantage to adding power stabs I'd assume that could easily be added ... I just use a small 12 volt cordless drill to run the stabs up & down. I tow with a Chevy Avalanche equipped with the older 4-spd wide ratio transmission and same 3.42 axle, typically see 12+ miles to the US gallon when towing. It tows well enough but certainly would do better if it had GM's newer narrow ratio 6-speed. BTW, you might want to change your SIG as your Sierra's engine is a 5.3, not a 5.4. ;)
