Thinking about upgrading

My wife and I are thinking about upgrading some time in the next year or so. We have been browsing and came across a couple models that we like and would fit our family. I don't want anything much over 6k dry, so we have narrowed it down to the 2016-2018 jayco 28DSBH and 2018 mallard m26.

We want bunks, at least an outdoor fridge, and like the look of the painted rounded caps.

Does anybody have any experience with these trailers or know of one I may have missed that fits our criteria?

Thanks

    You really should go by the GVWR and not the fantasy "dry" weight. Then add 50% to the tongue weight and add those numbers together.
    No TT comes close to its dry weight at any time in its life.
    My own TT dry is 1000# more than its stated dry weight and 500# over it's stated tongue weight.
