Wanting older TT, 20-25 feet walk-around bed, rear living

We are looking for an older TT, priced in $8 - 10,000 range. 20 - 25 feet in length. Walk-around queen bed, shower(not tub)/stool between bed and living. Sofa slide would be nice. Outside shower and polar package would be nice, as well. Something that would be well built. The 2005 and above Keystone Cougar 243RKS seems to fit the bill, but probably a bit higher price - any other suggestions? Also curious about interior height, as we are a tall family :)

  • We are in Nebraska. I haven't noticed the Sunline in this area, but will have to keep my eyes open for them. Thanks!
  • We had one. A Sunline T2499. A great camper just it did not have a polar package. We did camp all year round in it in central Ohio. Did a few upgrades to make it more comfortable in the winter.

    Look for year 2003 to 2007 for the T2499. There are still some for sale.

    Here is ours when we sold it. Have more pics if interested and a complete Sunline forum too.











    One heads up, these rear living campers can and do load tongue heavy. Meaning the tongue weight when loaded can go up a lot higher then realized. Mine with no fresh water on board weighed 6,500# and had a 1,200# TW. We towed with a 2500 Suburban and did not have any issues with the heavier TW's


    Point is, do not know what your TV is, but a smaller SUV can have issues holding up the higher TW's of rear living campers once you load them with camping gear.

    Good luck and hope this helps

    PS, what part of the country are you from? If you are east coast, Sunlines can be found, west coast they are far and few between. The factory was in PA and Sunlines were all over in a PA campground.

  • Springdale 266RLSS fits that although it does have a tub/shower. @005 - 2006 fits the price range.
