Hi folks. We are in the process of buying our first TT and wouldn't mind some help in picking the right model.Maybe my requirements are too tight but we'll see. We'd like to travel with another couple (no kids at all) but don't want them to sleep on bunk beds or a converted dinette table. Is there a model that offers two queen beds within a relatively small footprint?My restrictions are as follows:I'd like total length to be 27/28 feet.Total GVWR (trailer and cargo) should be no more than 7500 pounds.Is this possible or am I dreaming? Any help would be appreciated.Don

Dreaming except for some ultralite models. Go play house in some models. Pretend your sleeping, taking a shower, making a meal, etc and then each adult make a list of likes and dislikes. At the end of the day compare notes and decide which one you like the best.

What about a hybrid? Palomino (Forest River) makes a two-bed Solaire:SolaireThere are a few different sizes/configurations, including one with three beds. Download the brochure to see them all. It might be helpful to say what your tow vehicle is.

Thanks for the link, nice hybrid. I was kind of hoping to stay away from a hybrid but it might be the only option. A hybrid would be fine for me but my wife says she thinks she will feel too exposed or vulnerable with soft sides. Neither of us are experienced trailer travelers and if I want to do this, I want her to be comfortable. I will be towing with a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500, it's towing capacity is a little under 9,000 pounds. I just figured a little wiggle room was better.

Many models offer a queen size pull out in the sofa
