Down sizing, would like suggestions for 19 - 23 ft good Quality trailer.
Want 1 slide, carrying capacity over 1300 lbs. Bed that's always down. Lots of cabinets and storage. Comfortable and enough storage for long trips of 30 - 60 days. Moving from a 30 foot 2 slide fifth wheel. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

We had an Outdoors RV Creekside 23bhs that we loved. That is a bunkhouse, but there are other floor plans in 23 foot series. It was well made and quality control was good.

Congratulations on the new trailer, give us an update on how you like it.

Nash 17k is a good choice.

I've been looking at the smallest Lance and like the floor plan, dry bath, queen size bed with real mattress, and availability of a stove with oven. But, the 32+k price tag? I don't like the round sinks they are using - how do you put a dish drainer next to it? Maybe they make one for an extra 100 bucks. I do like their quality, and for that you pay.

Another vote for Lance. I love the 1575, but that model has a low CCC. That's too bad because I love that floor plan for a solo traveler. I want a back window, and many in that size don't have one.

Looked at the 192 RBS, and bought a Lance 1995.

Lance has bigger water tanks
Lance has insulated underbelly, if you 4-season. 192 just had plastic cover, so "heat" was not directed at tanks.
More windows in the Lance
Factory solar available in the Lance. Dealer-install with exposed wires in the 192 RBS.
Double-pane windows in Lance
Lance has deeper slide for dinette
Lance costs more, for a reason. We are very happy with our Lance, and no longer wince at the difference in price.


X1 for the Lance trailers.

Our budget was the key constraint for us not going with a Lance. The features your Lance has are key advantages over our 192 RBS. Nevertheless, it has more than met our needs, and we still are having lots of fun with it. We do camp year 'round, but we have the advantage of prevailing Gulf Coast weather that is moderate in the winter. (Although we camped through overnight temps of 15 & 16 degrees north of San Antonio last winter! Some kind of fun that was!!)

In the same boat, the Flagstaff and Coachman our on our shortlist. The Flagstaff will probably win out though as it has a glass enclosed trailer - we really, really hate the curtains in most corner showers!

Youve been at this long enough to know how subjective a question that is but, I'll throw one your way
Flagstaff micro lite like maybe the 21FBRS


This is what we have and we love it. We downsized from a 32' Carriage 5th wheel pulled by a one ton dually and a one ton single wheel truck. Now we have a 1/2 ton Ford 150 ecoboost and it pulls it like a dream. We absolutely love it. It actually has more features than the Carriage had!!! I can't say enough about it.

ARCTIC FOX without a doubt.

I have a AF 25R. I spend 6 to 10 weeks a year traveling with DW, or hunting or fishing trips with buddies. One annual fishing trip is a week with 4 old guys.It is comfortable, sturdy and well made with good quality materials. I moved Up from a lite weight TT to the AF and have never regretted it or looked back. They are modestly more pricey but in my opinion well worth the added expense. If nothing else than the lack of putting things back together after a trip makes them worth it.

Niemeyers Trailer Sales in Maple Grove MN or Elko MN can get you one and they are a dealer I can recommend without hesitation. Happy shopping !!
