We are looking for our first TT. Probably a used unit, under 4500# dry weight. Watching Craigslist and some FS sites, we are totally overwhelmed by the options available.
We want something that has a decent sized bathroom (no tub), and queen walk around bed. What we don't need are bunks and fold-out couches - in other words, we don't wish to sleep more than two.
Of course we have a list of features we'd like, but the purpose of this post is to ask if there are certain models that cater to folks looking for a lightweight "couples" trailer.
Advice appreciated.
Cheers
We shopped for three years. Attended many RV shows and visited several dealers. We were looking for what my wife calls the honeymoon suite. We did not want a dinette since they tend to be cramped for larger people.We wanted a bed that we did not have to crawl over another to get out of for those midnight trips to the bathroom. We found the flagstaff mini light 21fbrs and while it was an early favorite we kept looking for another couple of years while we used our 17 year old popup. We finally made the plunge last year and have had a great time so far last year with it. We tow with a ram 1500 and the trailer weighs in around 5,000 dry so probably closer to 5500. We towed it from Chicago to Washington DC and back last summer and it worked out well in the mountains through Pennsylvania. We tow it without the water tank full and fill up at the campground if we don't have a water hookup to keep the weight down while traveling. Gas mileage on the Ram while towing is around 15MPG so not a s bad as I expected. We love being able to pull into a site level the trailer and be done.
