We also knew the floor plan we wanted when we started looking for a replacement to our falling apart camper. I also knew all the weights.
A few hours on the net and I had found several that fit the bill. I wasn’t concerned with the manufacturer at all. Then I started with all the dealers within a day’s drive along with Craigslist.
Within 2 weeks of us deciding how much to spend and what we wanted, we found the Dart. It was used, but for only 5 months. Owner had traded for a larger Jayco.
After an hour or so on the net, I had a good idea of what that model was going for. We made an out the door deal along with trading in the old camper. While setting up the WD to leave, I met the previous owner, who was having his walkthrough. He was very impressed with the deal we made.
You should have no problem finding what you want since you have a few months.
