Soliciting feedback- what am I looking for?

Hi all-
Been a forum member here for several years, but have been out of RVing for a bit. We're now looking to buy our first TT (we've previously owned several Class C's and toyhaulers).

So, we're pondering spending the summer on the road- wife, 6 year-old and myself. We're looking for a TT with the following attributes-

2006 or newer (for financing purposes)
<6,500 UVW
25-30' long
1-2 slides
dedicated second sleeping room (bunkhouse style or similar?)
maximum kitchen storage
maximum basement storage
<$20k

If you know any year/make/model that might fit the bill for us, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks!
  • Thanks for the responses so far!

    I guess I should say also- IDEALLY, I'd like to spend just over 10k (10-13ish), but am comfortable going a bit higher than that.

    We've seen quite a few used Keystones here in the Phoenix area, and do like some of the features and layouts. Weird how brand names seem to vary regionally- I see some other members' signatures, and have never even seen the brand of RV they've got...
  • $20k can buy those specs brand new! I paid $21k OTD for my TT new and meets those specs. I could have saved $1400 skipping some options and slide out topper.

    How many are you sleeping?

    I really like the Keystone Outback 301. It may be out next TT. I could purchase a brand new custom order 2014 for under $25k OTD, so used should be easy to find in that price range. It will be over 7k dry though, but no problem for that F350 in your signature if that is the planned TV. Anyway, bunk room, larger master bedroom (for a TT), lots of storage.

    We do like our floorplan as well, single over double bunk in the back with outside access bathroom next to it. Central living area and front master bedroom. It's a bit tight up front.
  • I have a very good friend who was looking for almost the exact same set up. He settled on the Coleman TT line. I can't reach him right now to get the model number, but here's a link to their lineup. They've been making them for quite a few years, so there should be a few used ones available.
