The original plan was to buy the truck this year, and then wait for next year to buy the trailer. Got the truck. But now I've got the itch to get out camping!

Do you think this trailer exists?

  • ~35' fifth wheel
  • opposing slides in the "living area" (either two couches or couch across from chairs)
  • ~$12k

Bonus if there's a third slide in the bedroom.

id imagine they exist but at that length at budget your looking at an older unit for sure which could possibly get you into a endless "fixer upper"

A Cougar 318SAB might work, though it has a desk/entertainment center in the "opposite" slide.

Not to do the weight police thing but be sure that you have the right truck for that size rig. At $12K you are looking at an older rig which may be quite heavy with 3 slides.

That should be an easy find. Even easier would be a slide out one side of the living room and the bedroom slide. Those were the most common in 35' a few years ago. I had a 2003 2955RL Montana that was one of two of the top selling floorplans for several years running back then. I'm sure $15K or less would put you in a clean one.

Good choice of truck size. Your options should be abundant.

Yeah, I see those all over the place. We have three big dogs that like to rough house, so having the opposing slides to open up floor space for them is a top priority for us.
