Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Looking to buy a used travel trailer, wanting it to be about 3800-4500 lbs; do not want slides, must have a walk aound queen bed or twin beds(not any bunk beds)
want Quality - retiring in September
tow vehicle is chevy silverdo 1/2 ton(has tow package & rated for 7500 lbs.)
26-28 ish foot Airstream.Meets the criteria and should work well with that tow vehicle.Had several of them used and two new ones in the family.Never regretted the Airstream – just too small for us now, but they are an outstanding value used.But shop around. The cookie cutter tow rig for many Airsreams was a 2500 Truck / Surburban with a gas engine. Hope yours is the larger one.
There are also many "Airstream Only" (mostly) parks and the "rent" is so low at many it is hard to believe. They are referred to in the Airstream world as "Land Yacht Harbors"
I'll second Bill and Linda's suggestion of an Airstream. Join Airforums (airforums.com) and you can participate in the discussion and ask lots of questions. There is also a classified section. In order to get that size and weight you are probably looking at an older coach, and the walkaround queen bed didn't show up until later.

Yea, we have a walk around queen bed in a 1990 34’ Excella that lives in Florida.It is kind of unique as it has a second, rear door in the bed room.
An important point needs to be made about Airsteams – they are “different.”A 1990 Airsream is not considered to be “old” as such by knowledgeable Airstreamers.Many Airstreams are 40 years old and going strong. Some have been upgraded with new battery chargers, "electrics" and perhaps a new fridge if they are that old. Some have been completely rebuilt inside. But you must look at the condition of a used Airstream, not just the vintage.Many of the older units not only cost less but are considered, by some, to be superior to the newer ones and on a return-on-cost analysis and are great candidates for refurbishment or just left the way they are.
