2008 Fun finder 250BHS by Cruiser RV. 
Drove up to Everett, Washington from west of Portland, Oregon. Arrived about 10:30 and had a look at the coach. Spent about an hour or so looking it over searching for issues they would need to fix. Found a few minor ones and one that would require a return trip next weekend instead of taking it home today.
We agreed we wanted it and gave them an offer. Told them we didnt want to haggle and this was our offer. They accepted right away. Obviously at this point we thought we should have went lower. lol
We are happy with the deal we got even though we have to drive back up next weekend to bring it home.
We bought it from 5th Wheel Place. They were good to deal with, seemed up front and honest about stuff. Frankly, it was the easiest major purchase i have gone through. Pleasant guys and i would recommend them to others.
The coach isnt perfect, but none are. The floor plan is what we need, not what we want. Quality seems good over all.
After a ton of research about different models and quite a few questions here the mission is complete.
Thanks to those who offered help and insight.

What a long day.
As circumstances would have it, the purchaser of the Airstream lived in Olympia, WA. She was in Portland, OR on Friday and came out and saw my old trailer. She fell in love and had to have it. So, i gave her the price she could have it at and it would include towing it up to her place for her,since she did not have a TV.
We left home in Hillsboro, OR at 7:40am and arrived in Olympia at 10:15am. After about 40 mins or so to give her husband a quick run down we were off again. We finally arrived at the dealer in Everett, WA at about 1:45pm. Seattle traffic really sucks.
The PDI with the tech commenced.
We were at the dealer for all of an hour and it was on the road again. Again Seattle traffic sucks. Made it all the was to the rest stop before Kelso before it was time for a break.
Pulled into the driveway at my fathers shop at 6:45pm. The trailer tows great. It has a little more tendency to wag than the Airstream. The F-150 isnt really slowed down with it while it is empty. It should be a perfect match for the truck all in all.
Great trailer.

Thank you. It does match the truck well.
Spent most of today reloading all our gear into it and making some small changes and touch ups. Being parked up there on Puget Sound there was a lot of salt air corrosion to be touched up. Also, the safety chains were just barely long enough to hook up to my TV. Changed those out as well.
Realized that were are going to have to go through all our camping stuff and thin it out yet again if we hope to put a child and all its accessories into the TT as well.
