I told DH I wanted a trailer I could live in if it was dumping down rain, but not so comfortable I'd want to hole up and watch TV!

I'm looking at the 19B for these reasons:

The length is better for getting out into the woods where I like to be.
I love Love LOVE the Big rear window. I'd like to back the thing up to a lake and have a beautiful view every morning!
Smaller and lighter trailer will save fuel ($$$)
Lower intial purchase cost (I can afford a brand new trailer!)

I have a question: Are the windows all single pane, double pane, or mixed?

Can only speak to the 2014 model - all windows are single glazed. I understand that if you order one, you can specify double glazing, and it would be worthwhile if you plan to do colder weather camping. Our first outing in our 19B was in the Fall, and it was chilly sitting beside the large picture window.....

I don't mind if it's a little chilly. I live in the Pacific NW like you, and I can just add a flannel shirt or sweater, like I do now. Thanks!

I put my deposit down on a 2016 Black Rock 19B yesterday.

I found a 21B in Spokane a few weeks ago and bought it. The price was too good to pass up, IMO. We went back and forth between the 19B and the 21B. We loved the windows in the 19 but decided the couch was worth the extra few bucks in the 21 so that's what we went with.

The couch in the 21B is what I was waffling over, but in the end, since it's just me and a dog, and an occasional visitor, I went with the smaller unit.

Anyone have a good estimate or real number for tongue weight with full water and propane tanks?

We bought a Black Rock 22RBS in Chilliwack late August and have driven it from there to Golden, BC, then to Yellowstone and back home in Quebec without a problem. Great TT, tows well, is stable on the road, and has lots of storage space for two people.
