You will absolutely enjoy any Airstream you decide on, but perhaps some more than others. We started with a Flying Cloud 23D. We liked the lighter color interior of the FC and the forward door and nice lounge of the D model. Downside is the corner bed is a bit small but at the same tine cozy for two. If you don't mind the corner bed a 23 D is a real nice trailer and tows like a dream, our TV was an Infinity 5.6 and we had no problems, as it has a 9000# tow capacity. The dogs will do fine and at least one will find a sweet spot under the dinette table. If you will do a lot of mountain travel probably an eco diesel or if you might think about a trade up in AS size some time a Ram 2500 diesel. We had our 23D for 8 months and traded up to a 28 to get more room as we travel with several dogs and were going to do a cross country trip. I think you should by new and there are a number of larger dealers that can offer you good prices especially at this time of year as there is probably still some 2016 inventory around in 23s. BTW the most popular is 25 but some times harder to get best price on those as they are most in demand. I also like the idea of spending a little extra for extended warranty, you can get up to 7 years. When you pull you house around the country at 62-65 mph things come lose etc. Airstreams are built pretty good but many of the appliance parts are just like so many others. We have had issues with toilet, water tank, many cabinet latches, ceiling fans, stereo, door adjust, all of which were covered by manufacture warranty, however, I expect with more usage we'll see additional failures and the extra warranty will come in handy as it covers all original equipment fully. We've also added solar panels and satellite dish which will come in handy if you wish to enjoy other things in addition to the great outdoors. Have a great time whatever you decide on.
