TT Recommendation

Hello all - this is my first post, so hopefully this is the right forum. Also, if there is a sticky somewhere that addresses this, could you please point me in the right direction?

Anyway, we're looking to buy our first travel trailer and would appreciate recommendations. We've been to a couple dealers, but I don't want to limit our search to what they have. So, hoping all of you with more experience can help. Here are our needs:

Max unloaded weight - 4,000 lbs
Want bunk beds for small kids
Need to sleep 5
Want as much floor space as possible
Would like sofa and dinette


We like the Coleman Light LX1925BH and StarCraft Launch 19BHS

What other models should we be looking at?

Thanks all,

Brian
  • Why are you concerned with a TT’s unloaded weight? No one goes camping unloaded. If you buy the Coleman your TV needs to be able to pull 7,600 pounds and carry your family and the hitch weight plus other stuff in the TV. You are not “ok.”

    Specs say 5,000 lb towing capacity and running the numbers for trailer weight, GVW etc, I think I'm OK but we're new to this.
