Keystone Outback has several models that could suit you. See my signature below, I have 4 bunks, sofa slide and a queen slide towed by a Ram 1500 (note that you do need to have the 1500 set up correctly to tow a trailer of this size).

Go to Outback Owners forumYou can ask a lot of questions from owner that have the combination type you are looking at.

You also may want to look at Rockwood. The 2601 is a nice layout.


Time's sure fun when you're having flies!

We purchased a Starcraft Homestead 285rsqb. We love it. Traded in our other trailer after only 7 months. With 2 girls , friends , and cousins, it became apparent that wew needed an upgrade. Plenty of room and exceptional workmanship inside and out .. Good luck

I have a Dodge Ram QC 1500 Hemi, tow package 3.92 gears and tow a Forest River Cherokee lite 23dd. He is the manufacture stats for the 23dd. It has a queen up forward, full kitchen, a dbl bunk wiff twin over and the dinette ofcourse turns into a bed. No couch area though.

The manufacturer stats on the camper :

 ID  18
 Model  23DD
Hitch Weight  600 lbs.
Axle Weight  3,610 lbs.
Ship Weight  4,210 lbs.
GVWR  7,600 lbs.
Length Exterior  26' 5"
Exterior Height w/AC  10 ft. 3 in.
Bedrm Interior Height  76 in.
Furn BTU  20,000
Gray Cap  27 gal.
Black Cap  32 gal.
Fresh Cap  50 gal.

The Camper Tag :
gvwr 7370
uvw 5090

My Ram and the Camper weighed in at a GCW of a rounded 10200. Did add a Tru-cool max tranny cooler (2 aftermarket and manufacturers). Us Reese WD hitch and Dual Cam sway. Pulls very nicely. Down side. The truck is a bit over GVWR, ~200 lbs with the five of us loaded, fuel and hitch weight. So what I do is take off the tailgate and put the truck spare in the camper.

I pull a 2004 timberlodge 27 bhs with a table slide with 1/2 ton Suburban. The wieght in 6000 lb. I it has a front bedroom and three bunks. I try not to fill the water till I get to the campground due to the weight. Of course it would pull a lot better with a F250
