Looking, but... No Trailers for Neanderthals
We sold the Jay Flight 32BHDS last spring, and downsized to an F-150. Thought we'd be done camping for a few years, as the kids hit high school, and all would go well. Hmmm. Well. THAT was a farce...

Thanks for the suggestion everyone.
We are not really into canvas. Had a Jayco 26L once. Spent the summer turtling after severe storms every time we went out. Then the opening to dry it out... not really interested. It is a great option, but the one year of storms spooked is out. Funny thing is, we pop-up'd for years, went through one tornado, and survived. Course' that's when we said "hardside time".
Sounds like I just need to get the kids to accept the reality. I am really wanting a Jayco product, and have found several. If there is not an outdoor kitchen under the bottom bunk, they space out the bunks to give more each more headroom. Kids want to camp? Suck it up. It's for sleeping there, not partying. They were spoiloed with the bunk arrangement in the 32BHDS we had.
I have looked st the K-Z 240BHS. The dealer we bought our past Coyote from had one and couldn't sell it. I loved the bunk arrangement and the back large storage door. Day late.
The kids have said they'd welcome a nice comfy recliner or converting a large U-shaped dinette into a bed. We have found a few, but those mom & pop units get heavy fast. I figure the wrights on the truck, and 650# is about all the actual tongue I can afford. That REALLY minimizes our choices.
Ugh! Still glad we sold the 32BHD. Way too heavy and the tongue st 1,400# was outrageous. Still, shoulda kept the truck. We'd have been better off.
