We have an Outdoors Creekside 27DBHS and like it. The Creekside 27BHS has a tub. We have owned two Outdoors trailers. The first was a shorter 23BHS and we have liked both of them.
This! (+1). reading your original post and list of possible trailers, ORV. You took time to get a great tow rig, that 8.1 Burb properly setup will absolutely get the job done, just keep an eye on the payload.
Edit: which gear ratio do you have? 3.73 gets you to ~10,300 max trailer, and 4.10 goes up to about ~12,000.
RPO codes are:
GT4 - 3.73
GT5 - 4.10
(on glovebox sticker) Apparently a few came with 3.42 in 2005, if yours is one, get the gears swapped.
Speaking of 8.1 Suburban toughness, this construction video on the Outdoors RV should really suit your interests.

Outdoors RV Timber Ridge 27DBHSYou'll have to go out West to get one, appears a number of folks have done just that. Also looks like warranty work done through your local (non-ORV) dealers with prior approval.
