Love my Goldrush, 19th season , 26' , have towed it with every thing, 1/2 ton , 3/4 ton and 3 or 4 different motorhomes. They are expensive, but well worth it. People get silly and get every option, you don't need to. Before you buy a trailer, simply price out a basic Goldrush. They do make a v nose, but I don't think it matters much. Get a 4 ft side door . A friend of mine has a 20' that he loves.

I purchased a new Lightning trailer last fall it is built by the same folks as Rance. mine is a 28ft+4v and with full finished interior (no cabinets) AC it weighs just over 4000# I would think a 20-24 would be considerably lighter yet.

I like it so far it is a brand I think is worth looking at. I did buy it from a racer but I don't think you want to come to Minnesota to get one. They seems to be all built in Elkhart IN no matter what.

There are a couple of great Trailer Manufacturers out on the West Coast.
The labor costs are higher out here than Ind. or Georgia = BUT if you
live in the West the travel distances will more than make up for it.
I prefer BoulderCityTrailers.com.
(But of course my son Jon owns it).
