Hi everyone;hoping that someone on here might be able to steer us in the proper direction.
My wife & I are looking for a Travel Trailer to fit the following criteria;
1.)18' to 21'
2.)Fiberglass Shell
3.)One good size slide (This seems most difficult to find)
4.)Weight not important as we will haul with a Chevy 2500 HD Diesel
5.)No canvas type push-outs
6.)No bunks, just Queen bed & pull out couch.

We want this for short one to three day excursions.
We have looked at the Jayco Jay Feather 199, nice, has a small slide.
Looked at Zoom, nice but no slide.
Looking on web at Surveyor Sport SP 189 by Forest River, looks good if we can find one to see up close.

Any suggestions by anyone on a unit that would fill (or come close to) these wishes of ours would be appreciated, thanks......Ernie

Tough to find trailers under 21' with more than a small slide. For that matter, it's tough to find newer non-hybrid trailers shorter than about 26'. Good luck!

You are going to have a hard time finding a 21' with a slideout, but if you can go bigger:
Bigfoot
Northwoods
Cannot think of any others at the moment.

Fun Finder is coming out with a 21 ft. with a slide. Go to their website and look at the floor plans. We have the 210 and love it.
