We are looking for a smaller TT the rides higher or has larger wheels. We currently have a 25' 5th wheel, but we want a smaller unit (not too small) that we can feel more comfortable in as we go to state and national CGs. As a part of the deal, I am looking for a full slide. Any recommendations?
The first RV that popped into my mind when reading your requirements was the Northwood Nash DesertFox... as Northwood builds their own frames from scratch in their factory, so they have complete control on the building of a truely rugged frame. With higer than average ground clearance.
Not to many RV Brands build their own frames! And those that do are big buck brands.
However..no slideouts! Slideouts might compromise the frame structure on a "Made to play hard" trailer like this.

Many of the Arctic Fox models have slideouts. Your link was to Dessert Fox which is the Toy Hauler lineup. The Arctic Fox line is still off-roadable.

One might want to focus on TT's floor plan, make / model. Once they have that pinned down, they trailer can easily be "lifted" using a spacer kit (if trailer is a torsion axle system) or leaf springs over axle conversion method. If wondering, I raised 4 trailers in my past using "leaf packs ontop of axle" conversation method. Easy conversation for most DIY. If not DIY, local welding shops do this change for a small fee.
