I appreciate all the inputs. Thanks!
To answer some of your questions in no particular order.
TV- 2016 Colorado Z71 crew cab long bed w/tow package.
Wheelbase - 11.7'
GVWR 6,000. GCWR 12,00. Max Trailer Weight 7,000. Max Tongue Weight 900. Gross Rear Axle Weight 3,500.
As for budget - I really want to drive off with TT,tax,title and license for $25Kish or less. The Springdale would come in well under that , the Nash and MiniWinni would both be on the hairy edge.
I looked over the Lances at the Seattle RV show. Very, very nice. I don't know that the 1475 would do it for us, the 1575 looked more appealing. In either case a new one would blow the budget! Probably say the same for a late model used one. I went to the owners site, but you have to register to even look at the for sale listings. I may go back later and do that.
I did look over the Starcrafts at the show. Not the one posted. We may have to make a trip out to Snohomish to take a closer look.
Will, do you have a buyer lined up for your 17K? Let's make a deal :B
