Thanks Woodglue for the link to the Lance Owners of America.
Has anyone heard of Paradise Coast RV? They are in Michigan. They make old style looking (but aluminum framed) campers and one model has exactly the interior we are looking for.

That paradise trailer is kinda interesting from a retro standpoint.
Interesting that they state a GVWR of 4500 pounds, yet the trailer is sitting on 205/75-14 load range C tires, which likely have a load cap of 1760 each ( 3520 total ).

Even with a pair of 14" load range D tires, it would be right on the limit, if loaded out close to max GVWR.
