Shopping again!

We were shopping for a trailer when my husbands job became iffy and we had to stop. We spent the summer without any camping. (We rented a house in Tahoe instead.) We are now back to work and looking for another trailer before the camping season begins. We would like to spend less than 10,000. We might go up some if need be. We have a family of six and our must haves are:
1.A large dinette where we can all sit together for games and meals. This seems to be the difficult feature!
2.Room for 6 to sleep.
3.A tow weight at or under 5000lbs.

Don't like:
Walk around beds
This is a waste of much needed space for us.

A trailer repair guy suggested Keystone, Forest River, and Jayco.
He suggested less than 10 years old, smooth sides rather than corrugated, and an aluminum frame.(Not deal breakers)
Thank you for your suggestions!

  • Here is another model by Forrest River. You might do a search for this as used.

  • Oh, that would be nice! I found one not far from me but the seller is not responding..... Hmmmm.
  • Welcome. What you described as "wants" would be my old Jayco 23B. Sleeps 8, huge wrap around dinette, and under 5000 lbs. it is a hybrid if that matters.
