I have done a little research, but have yet to find one. Any suggestions appreciated. wittmeba • View posts Roanoke, Va Senior Member Joined: 02/02/2001 View Profile Posted: 10/22/09 08:52am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Lots of mfgs have light weight rigs with slides. Search til your heart is content. Id look at Jayco, Forest River, Heartland and others that indicate Light or Lite weight. http://members.cox.net/bruce.wittmeier/technical/RVManufacturers.html To my loving wife, Carolyn: "I dont love you because I need you.

Heartland makes the North Trail a 29 footer that has 2 slides and they are set behind the axles (to lessen the pin weight??). skipnchar • View posts Topeka Kansas USA Senior Member Joined: 12/17/2003 View Profile Posted: 10/22/09 09:30am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator LOTS of Forest River models have bedroom slides. http://www.forestriverinc.com/nd/default22.asp?page=floor&choice=rk&nav=rec 2004 F-250 SCREW Long Bed (new) OR 2004 F-150 HD (85,000 towing miles) Rockwood 8314SS 34' travel trailer We have enough YOUTH...how about a fountain of SMART Dick_B • View posts Palos Heights, IL USA Senior Member Joined: 07/10/2002 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 10/22/09 04:22pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Check out www.trailmanor.com for trailers that have bedroom slideouts.

Its mainly a gimmic word to entice buyers looking for light weight. I don't even know what it means. Just compare the unloaded vehicle weight that has to be posted on a paper usually attached to a cabinet door. Also, don't pay too much attention to "half ton towable" claims. Some are but not necessarily comfortably by all half-tons. Each foot of length adds weight and slide-outs add a lot and I think some of the better made units are the heavier ones unfortunately.

Their slide mechanisms cut a lot of weight (they use a cable system instead of a hydraulic system). They are not ultralight but they do have a couple of models they claim a 1/2 ton can tow safely.
