For me, the floor plan I liked, plus comfortable furniture sold me and the wife. You really need to look over floor plans to get an idea of what you think you want, then look at trailers in person to see how it comes off in real life, and how the particular manufacturer builds furniture and cabinets. I think most, or all the trailers in your price range will be less than perfect. We have a Shadow Cruiser 285RLS, we have had a few issues, but both the wife and I are still very happy with it 2 years later. Good luck in your search.
