Hi everyone! We have been looking at buying a TT and have narrowed them down to a specfic floor plain. The type we like have the tv mounted on the long wall of the trailer where you can sit and watch tv without having to rotate your body or head. They also have bunk beds, 1 slide out and an outside kitchen.

These are the models that we have found so far:

Keystone Hideout 28BHS
Prime Time Avenger ATI 27DBS
Aspen Trail 2790BHS
Grand Design Imagine 2800BH

Unfortunately, all of the models above are over 6000lbs and from another post I started looks like we won't be able to tow this with our Escalade EVS.

Does anyone know of another model like those above that are under 6000lbs AND possibly under $20K!!

Thanks!

The units you show are in the 31 ft range. Slides and outside kitchens = weight. If your TV is not up to the job , then you have to get yourself a new TV or opt for another FP.

Even a Jayco JayFlight 26BH will roll down the road at 6500# and about 900# of hitch weight, that's w/o a slide or an outside kitchen. However, its a good FP that allows straight forward tv viewing plus enough room for a family to move about as well as interior storage.

The problem i see with towing with your TV is, you may run out of payload before you run out of towing capacity. By the time you add the hitch weight plus people, kids and all the stuff you carry in the truck you may very well be over your trucks payload and rear tire rating.

I always liked the JAYCO TRAILERS home page where you can look at all of their floorplans and specs and compare between them...

You might get some good ideas doing this...

This is not exactly what you describe, but in the line of what you said. Look at the 181-B, 20 ft., 2725 pounds, TT from Riverside RV Manufacturing. They have a full line from teardrops to fifth wheels.
