Hey, I'm a Yooper, too. Born in Ramsay, near Ironwood, back in the day when M-28 was gravel all the way across from the Soo.
Well hey there fellow Yooper. 28 has gotten a lot better since those early days but the Seney Stretch still feels like you've driven across North Dakota twice.

Re TM's with a slide out. I think you mean TMs that used to have an "SL" suffix, like 2720SL, but now have a "QS" suffix, like 2720QS. They have a couch on a front slide, which is a great setup for two people. The SD/QD series has a dinette in front. If i am wrong, please correct me. This change confuses a lot of people.
Yup, that is what I mean. I am not picky about the setup of the front as I can see benefits to both. I am also open to either the Q or K...as long as there isn't a bed on that side I'm in for discussion.

As for anything you might have missed, you might go to the Trailmanor.com web site, quickly scan the options list, and see if there are any "must have" or "must not have" items. Today's list won't be totally applicable, but is reasonably stable with time. If you are really detail-oriented, you could look at the site in 2010 or so by using the Wayback Machine (www.archive.org). I think of the swing tongue in particular, which was an option for a long time.
The options that I really cared about are the slide in the front instead of the bed. Swing tongue and such would be nice to have but the options are totally not deal breakers. My wife is requiring a AC unit but most of them already come with that.

Good luck with your quest. The UP would be a wonderful place to have a TM. During our travels, we've run into a couple folks who run lodges right on the south shore of the Lake.

We love camping in the UP. Our favorite location is Lake Fannyhoe up in Copper Harbor...about 10 miles away your cell phone drops connection so there aren't any distractions from enjoying all the scenery around you. Thanks for the reply Bill!
