Down sizing

My wife and I are downsizing from our 5er as we’re done making long trips. We’re looking for a 1/2 ton towable that has 2 recliners in it.

Something like a Rockwood 2205S. Does anyone have any experiences with that trailer or could you suggest other trailers that we should look at.

Thanks.

Outback ultralight 252urs has rear recliners but would require an upper tier half ton. Imo

I like the Rockwood trailers, with one twist. They seem to be pretty high, and have 3 full steps to enter. Just something to consider. For me, I like my Puma because I'm a taller guy (75") and most trailers are 78' tall inside, mine is 81 (I think). You coming from a 5r, you will certainly notice that ceiling height in TT are much lower.

Consider the Lance travel trailer line.
We just ordered a new model 1985 it's a 19' coach with a LOA just under 24 foot.
Lance has offerings up to 24' coach with a LOA of near 30 foot.
We were impressed with the fit and finish and the features the Lance offered.
And they are all aluminum framed and a true 4 season camper.

Those Lance trailers are incredible! I would really like one but they're a little too pricey for us right now. Very cool trailers!
