Seems pretty light. Looks like a very well maintained camper from the early to mid 2000's?

Looks like about 32' (bumper to hitch) and a shorty for lower frontal surface area. The low stance makes it look longer.

I seen a lot of these lower stance, none slide models at the state park I just came back from. There was a lot of older ones from the 80s and 90s as well. No older fiberglass laminated trailers, just newer ones.

What's the specs on your camper and what make is it?

Very Nice.

2019 Ford F150 XLT Sport, CC, 4WD, 145" WB, 3.5L Ecoboost, 10 speed, 3.55 9.75" Locking Axle, Max Tow, 1831# Payload, 10700# Tow Rating, pulling a 2020 Rockwood Premier 2716g, with a 14' box. Previous 2012 Jayco Jay Flight 26BH.

thanks for the compliments, it is a remodeled 1997 fleetwood wilderness 29s bunkhouse, no slide. It was very well maintained but did sit a lot. I got it for a good price and had to do some things but it was worth it. all new brakes, tires, bearings, brake disco switch, battery, etc. to make sure it was road worthy. Previous owner kept it stationary at a seasonal spot so it only moved twice a year.

The interior was completely remodeled except for the ceiling, which is great, no signs of water damage or leaks. the exterior was painted with a basecoat clearcoat auto paint job. its a 25 footer, when you get close you see imperfections but its a great looking trailer overall. We want to get a couple seasons out of it and sell it to buy a 26 or 28 jayco bunkhouse w/slide (2010 or newer)

i need to post up some pics of the inside, its a cool trailer especially for only having $6500 into it.

Looks like my brothers fleetwood. He's always complaining about hitting the bumper on curbs and such.

I suggest some pics, on the trailer pic thread as well, but make sure to tell us when you do.
