I'm about to sign the line on a cougar 27sab because I was going to tow with my 2010 f150. Hitch pin weight kinda fit my plan but alas I've come to my senses about the truck. I think I'm going to step up to 250 diesel since my payments will go up a whopping $15 a month. Short story is this 27sab still my best option for rear bunks? I'm having trouble finding any to look at in Florida. I like bunks for the kids so they don't have to clean up their beds every day. What other rear bunk units fit around that 25-28k price point with hitch pin weights appropriate for my 250?

Thanks

I’d second a vote for the Outback Sydney 275FBH with a hitch weight of 1450. Gross weight is about 10k. Every Outback I’ve set foot in looks *really* nice.

How do the different keystone models stack as far as entry level, mid, top?

Our TT is one of Keystone's entry level trailers and we love it.
This will be our second season in it so far so good no problems at all:bdance:

Dwighop:
As you would expect, the higher-priced, top-of-the-line models are better appointed and have more "luxurious" features - fireplaces, ceiling fans, Corian countertops, etc. They are usually bigger but they are not necessarily better-made. It seems that, no matter what make or model one buys, they all come with problems of one sort or another. You can have just as many issues with the most expensive model as you can with the least expensive one.
I would go with the model that has a floorplan and features both of you like and one that matches both your pocketbook and tow vehicle.

The expensive ones seem to weigh more.
