So forgive my ignorance here, as I am new to the whole TT world myself. You can most certainly find what you are looking for it will just take a bit of work, and you may need to buy used. I drive a Dodge Durango that has a max tow capacity of 6200 lbs and a tongue weight of 620 lbs. I am using it to tow a 1994 starcraft 25CK. This has a master bedroom(ok the bed is not a queen but a full size), and has bunk beds in the back, a couch that folds out into a bed, and the table turns into a bed. This will sleep 6-8 with all the beds. The trailer weighs approx. 4100 lbs dry, with a tongue weight of approx. 450-500 lbs(I need to weigh it to get the exact weight). Now I have not been on any long trips with it yet, as I just purchased it this year, but will be taking it up to the white mountains in NH the first week of July. Other than needing to buy a transmission cooler, I have had to make no changes to my vehicle which seats 6(or 8 if you want to put 3 in the bench 2nd and 3rd row of seats). I did a lot of research before I bought, as like yourself I didn't want to have to change vehicles to accommodate my new hobby. Unlike you, I have a factory tow kit that will handle a weight distributing hitch. I understanding not wanting to make changes, but you may just have to sacrifice a little bit to get something close to what you want.

That is very close to what I want. Thanks for the comment! Like I was saying, most manufacturers don't make trailers like that anymore, yet they sell in a matter of days on the used market.

I found mine on craigslist. It had been for sale for several months. I probably paid a bit more for it than I should have, but it was exactly what I was looking for and is in like new condition, so I couldn't pass it up.
