Need suggestions

I'm looking for TT options for a bunkhouse trailer with a solid wall private front bedroom under 5k dry weight. The only option I've seen is the Starcraft Autumn Ridge 26BH.

Any other options out there?
  • What good is the dry weight unless you will never add any personal items to the trailer. You need to be looking at the trailer GVWR which is the trailer loaded and wet maximum rating.

    The manufacturers dry weight will not include any item listed as an option. Additional weight items may include batteries, full propane tanks, microwave, awning or Television.

    What are you planning to use for a tow vehicle?

    since around 2010 the trailer mfg must post on the trailer the actual dry weight of the trailer as built. usually a yellow sticker on the door. That weight in most cases does not include weight of propane in the tanks or weight of any batteries. But it does include any factory build options. and if the dealer installs any options or accy they are required to include the weight of those added options.
