We had a 2005 Keystone Hornet 31’ fls with super slide that was totaled. We’re looking for something similar but maybe a few feet shorter and/or lighter. No less than 26’ no more than 31’ which is not so high of the ground.
The Hornet was great but its stood to high off the ground for us. (disabled).
I was hoping with so many Rver here one of you could recommend something. It’s just the two of us.
One we looked at was the VR1 models but their kind of new and can’t find any reviews on them.
Thanks guys.

Hello , I looked at the Vr1 and it is very nice I also liked the Keystone Sprinter, it was just to heavy for my T.V. We ended up buying a Rockwood Signature ultralite which we love it is an 8296 with super slide and front kitchen bry weight is 6100 with upgraded 15k btu ac and all available options.

What all do you need in a TT?


2006 Hornet 28BHDS-Bunk House, Dual Slides

2006 Dodge Ram 2500 HD
5.7L Hemi, Factory Towing Package
Reese Brake Controller, WD Hitch and Sway Bar

Life is short, why not spend it in an RV!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

I like it. A lot Would be even better if the bed had a slide. Staying In that weight group would be hard though.

We're in East Baton Rouge La. This is one of the things DW and I are discussing. We don't mind driving anywhere to pick one up be it 9 miles or 900 miles. It's part of the fun owning an RV.
One way that we could go is to fly, we can fly anywhere free.
We'd have to rent a oneway truck. I guess uhaul or something like that.
Thanks
