Hi Mark, and welcome.
I have a
Burro 17. First, let me ask.. did you actually find one or are you thinking of new? Burro has been out of business for almost a decade, but the website lives on... new is not an option.
Now, that said, It would be great for a family. I have had a few kids in the back of mine, which is set up without the table as a "living" room and they were playing with my cat quite comfortably.. so daytime "squeezies" during rain is bearable and doable. Lots of room for games and tv watching etc.
If you get one with a side bath, the "hallway" to the back is also reasonable for people to pass next to each other. The bed up front is just barely shy of a twin wide, and I actually sleep on it instead of the football field in the back. I do not have bunks.
Get one without the bath, and it becomes the "Dance Hall Edition".. truly a large and seemingly massive room.
Mine has ALL the bells and whistles and then some.. Air, funace, 3 way
fridge,
awning bath.. you get the idea, and it weighs in at 3k on the axles. I haven't done the tongue, but it squats my Jeep Liberty a little, so I added
weight distibution to it.. problem solved.
