We have the Camplite 21BHS, very nice, two bunks, one slide, 5000 lbs GVWR, but may be a bit smaller than you want. Check out the 28BHS, bigger, one slide, two bunks, GVWR 7000 lbs, and an entertainment wall that separates the queen bed area from the rest of the camper.

Hmm, I really like the 28bhs, it looks great. Says hitch weight of under 300... how is that possible?
the Camplites are known to have lighter than normal hitch weights, but having never weighed mine, I assume 10%. I will say that without a WDH, putting the full hitch weight on the ram causes the Ram to squat about 1 1/2 - 2 inches, about what it does when I stand on the hitch (I'm about 215 lbs). The 21BHS, which I have, is said to have a hitch weight of 250 lbs.
Even with the the light tongue weight, the 21BHS tows great. I haven't towed it with a WDH and no problems with trailer sway at all; and just a bit of mild bouncing when driving over humps associated with small bridges, etc. I did just install an Andersen hitch to provide sway and bounce control just in case. We are taking the trailer out on Thursday; so I'll get an idea how that feels.
To get a better idea about the construction of the Camplites, which is different from the norm, take a look at the video on their travel trailer page:
