I am looking for one that has bunks, couch and dinette and a queen bed.
Oh and not over 15k in price.
Over in the towing forum you said you've recently purchased a 2017 Silverado, 5.3L, 6-speed feeding a 3.42 axle ratio ... same drivetrain in my 2012 Silvy. Starting back in 2007 I towed a non-slide 2008 KZ Spree 240BH-LX with an average loaded weight ready to camp of ~ 5500 lbs, coupler to bumper length 26' 9". Our 2006 Silvy which had the older 4-spd wide ratio transmission feeding the same 3.42 axle had no difficulty at all towing this trailer, anywhere we chose to go. Although our current Freedom Express is 1000 lbs lighter ready to camp I'd have no concern towing 6000 to 6500 lbs loaded with our current 2012 Silvy, nor yours. In Omaha there is currently a listing for a 2010 KZ Spree 240BHS which is ~ 18" longer and ~ 500 lbs heavier than our non-slide 2008 model. This is a triple bunk bed family camper,
ideal for a family of five, certainly towable with your new 2017 Silvy ... you might want to check it out.

FWIW, in the length of trailers you've mentioned there's no way you're going to get both a dinette
and a sofa unless you chose something with a Murphy bed, giving up the vast front cargo compartment storage space available in most travel trailers with a front queen walk around bed.
