Going to look at an 18 or 20' tt in the future for the fam

Do you guys have any advise on slightly to mid used tt's that are 18 or 20'? We just want something that has a small shower and commode and the more it can sleep the better. Which brands are better than others? I dont think I will look at any of the lighter built ones since the big dog cummins will be in charge. I was guessing early or mid 2000's as for the year.

We owned a Nash trailer up until a year ago. Built by Northwood Manufacturing out of La Grande, Oregon. Construction quality was TOP NOTCH.

We looked at many, many TT's during our search and found only 1 other TT to meet the same quality standards (IMO) -- and that other company has since gone out of business. We had the 19B floor plan cuz it fits out style best but there are other 19 foot TT floor plans that probably sleep more people.

By the way...we sold our TT to get a slide-in camper and immediately went back to Northwood and purchased an Arctic Fox -- again, due mostly to the high quality of construction. It's heavy, but it's built like a tank.

Good luck in your search. This time of year, there's lots and lots of deals to be had.

18-20ft is pretty small, and you have the tow vehicle to pull much larger. I think you will find more TT's in the 25 foot range. My kids have outgrown our TT and a 5ver is the next upgrade. Good Luck!

We have been very happy with our Sunnybrook 255RK. I would look for a used Sunline, Arctic Fox/Nash, or Sunnybrook in the 28'-30' range.

You can look into the Keystone Outback line also. They have several models with quad bunks in the front with a queen slideout bed in the rear.

I know several families that have them and like them.
