One thing I discovered when I was shopping for a trailer was that I simply had to go and look at, and actually sit inside each different floorplan that I thought might work. I started out thinking I was going to buy an Airstream, but quickly figured out that for me, a trailer had to have a slideout. It totally transforms the interior of these trailers. In my case, my 2012 funfinder 189FDS ( now discontinued, but you can occasionally find a used one ) , the slideout contains both the dinette and the fridge, so that helps open up a little more.
I also found that visually, a trailer with a mid mounted door seemed to be more open and airy inside, as opposed to those with a door at the back edge of the sidewall.
My trailer is off white inside, with plenty of large windows, which also helps make it seem more roomy.
I generally found that when looking at factory specs of empty weight, adding approx. 1000 pounds to that will be fairly close to your real world rolling weight, with empty, or near empty tanks.
The OP has been on here several times in his shopping process. I see this as a good thing, and it may well help him get "the right trailer for them", first time around.
I suspect a lot of folks go do an impulse buy, and that's why they find out later on they need to trade it for something else that better meets their needs. Doing a lot of homework up front can help save that financial penalty of trading after a year or two.
Have fun searching and buying, CW !
