Hello from a newbie to the forum, but a veteran camper for 25 years.

I currently have a 5th and a F-350 diesel to pull it. Not a problem when it's my wife and I going anywhere. I'm looking to add a smaller TT for my son (early 30's and a big man) and I to go to national Archery tournaments, hunting trips, and quick weekends for me and the Mrs. I'm looking for something to tow with a 1/2 truck or V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee (basically under 6500#)and under 25'.

Only stipulation is I want a queen bed and a couch that opens up into a bed--no bunks, no dinette to bed conversion- in fact- don't really need a dinette since we rarely in indoors.

I've searched a lot of websites looking at floor plans, but I'm sure I've missed some--ANY SUGGESTIONS ON NAME BRANDS?

Under 25, going to hard to find the couch option without dinette.

Currently I have Kodiak 200QB, walk-around queeen, open unit, dinette that converts to bed if needed, 4,000 lbs. Nice counters, cabinets, and decor, hard walled shower.

We would like a couch, without going to much bigger and they are hard to find.......

Artic Fox 25R, although it jumps up to 27 ft in lenght and weight goes up to 6,000 lb range.


Good luck,
Markiemark

Usually that small, you'll only get a walk around queen with a U-dinette as the industry finds dinette manitory while sofas are not. The u-dinette is usually offered because it's bigger taking the place of a standard dinette and a sofa plus provide a larger bed when converted.

To get what you want, the smallest I've seen is about 27', bumper to hitch.

Maybe you could remove the table of a U-dinette and use the bench as a couch.

Found these two already--Nomad Joey Select 204 and Rockwood 2109S--

Don't have a lot of dealers in my area, so looking for namebrands I don't know about.

What about the KZ spree escape it has a few floorplans that fit what you ask for and would work with the TV you mention.

Or this palomino gazelle. It is shorter and lighter than you asked for but has what you asked for.

happy hunting.
