It sounds like you are looking for pretty much the same thing we were looking for last year. After a lot of looking around at both new and used, we ended up with a 2015 Starcraft Launch Ultra Light 21FBS. Purchased it new for just under $17,000. After we decided which model we wanted, we did a lot of research online looking for the best price. Ended up having to drive about 4 hours away to get the best price -- spent about $3,000 less than the more local dealer. Did the whole deal over the phone or e-mail and just made one trip up there to pick it up. It's a nice little trailer and we like it very much so far. We did look at the very similar Rockwoods, but because of differences in how manufacturers measure the interior length, the Rockwood, although billed as a 21 ft. trailer actually had only 19 ft of interior length. The Starcraft is actually 21 ft inside, so a little bit more space. It has a sofa slide-out (jack-knife style sofa, although our son prefers sleeping on it as a sofa and not down as a bed), no dinette but has a stowable folding leg table which goes under the bed, walk-around bed, 8 cubic ft refrigerator, nice-sized pantry cupboard, electric awning. I would wish for more drawers, but that's not a deal breaker (just something to look for next time...). Dry weight is under 5,000. Towed fine with our 1/2 ton pick-up, but DH likes it much better since we got the Equalizer. It's very roomy inside and fully usable with the slide-out in. We could easily spend time in there without the slide being out. Have had a couple of small warranty issues, but nothing major and the dealer has been very accommodating. I haven't seen too much written in this forum about Starcraft, but we've been happy so far so just put that out there as another option you may not have considered before.
