Closing the deal on the travel trailer. I thought we had the floor plan picked out but wanted my wife to actually get…

Why no slide?

I’m a newbie to RVs and worry about too many moving parts potentially breaking. Plus the added weight.

Had a slide in a motorhome stuck open at Dead Horse Point campground

Slides can be prone to failure.

Yeah, but the difference in comfort to me is huge. Its claustrophobic in a lot of RVs. I’ll maintain a slide and fix

With experience we may upgrade someday but my gut tells me if we do that it’ll include a truck upgrade

I view my RV as the place I sleep and poop.

Looks sweet. Congrats! What are you gonna tow it with? Where will you store it?

Several RV storage places near us, with power in the slips and dump stations for clean out.

We have that exact model 2014, tow with Tundra. Love it.

Had that exact same floor plan. Loved it. Good choice. I also avoid slide out

What models are you looking at?

Not too big. Something like a Rockwood 2881S. Don’t want to go over 33’ total length for a couple reasons.

That’s a nice layout. I went a tad longer than planned but I think it’ll be a better layout for us.

Is that half ton towable?

It’s in their Ultra Lite series, which they say is 1/2 or 3/4 ton towable. We have a 1 ton though.

We bought a 5th wheel last year and have loved it. They pull great.
