Drew, I was also looking at the $5000 range, when pondering what to replace our popup with. I didn't even know the TM existed, but went to an RV show in January. There was a display of TM, and the new 2417 was the size we were looking for.
Went back the next day and purchased one.
Wife and I went out with it for an overnight, and she is very tickled that we have it. Granted, both of us are still working, so the price can be lived with, but we are looking at what we have for the money - hard sides; insulation; very effective heater (how can you really heat a canvas popup in 25° weather???); 40 gallons of pressurized hot and cold water; toilet and shower; SIMPLE setup (much faster than two of us putting up the popup!); tows like the popup, and not the wind issue that every other TT will have. Many more benefits.
Don't let that one slip away, unless you see another right now for less, in good condition. We will keep the TM for post-retirement travel, that's for sure!
