Wrap around dinet
Bunks
Outdoor kitchen
Bathtub (for my son who turns two next month)

The more we can get of the above the better. And we have other nit picky things that I won't bother to list here.

We are still learning. A lot. Learned something about flush systems yesterday that seems like a big deal. But without further ado, here is what we think we are looking for. Of course we are open to this groups wisdom and suggestions as you guys have hands on experience:

Jayco Jayfeather 25BH

Keystone Bullet 243BHS

Shadow Cruiser 240BHS (saw that it has a similar weight, build, layout to the above two but haven't looked at one yet).

We tow a similar size trailer (5300 LB dry weight) to what you are considering with a Grand Cherokee with factory tow, air suspension, EcoDiesel and Equalizer hitch with no issues. We towed RV back from Toronto last November through very windy conditions through northern NB without any significant issues. We were certainly aware of the wind but manageable. We typically have 3 adults max but very little gear in TV. Loaded we estimate trailer is 6000-6200 which is 1000 below max rated capacity. We typically travel at 100 kph, and manage long grades without problem.
