I just purchased a Livin Lite Camp Lite 8.6. It isn't as nice or luxurious as my previous Lance 915, but it is well built, seems to have more interior space due to layout, is lighter, and doesn't extend much past my 8 ft bed so I don't need a hitch extension. The Livin Lite is wood free construction and should last. So far I really like it. I think it will fit my needs perfectly. You can check them out at Livinlite.com and you should be able to find one in your price range.
