We picked up our Sunnybrook Sunset Creek 255RK in July. It is a really great travel trailer and has been virtually flawless.

Towed a couple of pull trailer RV's before buying my 5er. It handles so much better, I'll never go gack.
If you don't have to use the bed for other toys, the 5er is the only way to go.

here is a helpful thread here------>https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=158300
But while we are posting pics..... Here is a pic or 2 of mine.
2004 Weekend Warrior Toyhauler TT. I too agree with the others that a 5th wheel tows much better....but if you get a deal you can't refuse on a TT, don't turn it down.

Bathroom needs to be isolated from Bedroom-- if TT instead of 5er, have bathroom at other end from bedroom. Think about it.
Slideouts add a lot of weight. That said, a shorter trailer with a slideout has a lot more room than a longer trailer without. Get a slide out for the dining area+sofa at the least and you will be happier.
Make sure you have enough "visiting" room. There will be times when you are out and weather is poor and everyone wants to be inside... that is when you realize you can't really have 4 people in a booth, 3 on a sofa and everyone is happy.
Free standing dinette is more useful than booth... each chair can be utilized comfortably.
Pay close attention to overall ground clearance. It is that important. Ignore this advice now and you'll remember it at the worst possible moment. Take a pass on the low slung trailers. Pay attention to how low, and where positioned, the water tank pipes are. Some designs are very poor and very vulnerable.
Get shocks on the suspension. There are still a lot of trailers made that do not incorporate them.
Fiberglass sides are heavier and more expensive than aluminum. They are also easier to take care of and clean. They look better longer too. But if you have a boo-boo... they can be much harder, more expensive to repair. I prefer the fiberglass myself.
If you get a TT... get the motorized tongue support thingie... hand cranking gets so old...
Water tank capacities are important!! But Terry's 2nd law of trailering states that regardless of your tank size, you will always find at the worst possible time you need just 5 gal more of capacity. Especially the Black water.

Front Bedroom. One or Two slideouts. Ideally between 29-34 feet. I'll be hauling the quads in the back of the pickup. Just dont really like the toyhauler setups in my budget. You can get some nice ones, for the tune of 60k+. No thanks. Just need a nice TT for now. I was looking at the Jayco's and they seem to be a quality trailer.

Ive got a 06 Cherokee Wolf Pack toy hauler. This is our first unit and it works OK but I think I am going to put it up for sale here in the next week or 2. We dont use it as a toy hauler often enough to justify it. We want to get a fifth wheel camper and just put a trailer behind it the couple times a year we need it as a toy hauler.
