Another thing to look at if this applies to you, our last TT had a 74" (length) bed. Husband is 6' tall and his feet always hung over the end. One of the reasons (there are many) why we chose our next trailer is that the bed length is 80". If you are going to spend any length of time in a trailer it has to be comfortable.

For us, it was first whether my pickup would pull it comfortably, then floor plan as DW may be 5ft. nothing but still has a little claustrophobia. Rear Living area with a big window and the higher ceilings over a TT took care of that. One thing we hadn't counted on and will address w/ our next 5er is, we now have no bedroom slide, and only a mid height so kinda rough getting to the potty without banging ones head or crawling over the other person. So, check livability in all areas, not just where you walk in.


Puller: '04 HD2500 4x4 SB,EC Duramax/Allison. Airaid intake, 4in. exhaust turbo back, ORU leveler.
Pullee: '02 Keystone Cougar 276EFS Reese 16k w/ slider.
