We have had the whole gammit from motor home to 5th wheel to long tag, now we are looking for a quality unit around 25' long with a side slide and a front and rear slide.
Who makes a good unit,
We are looking for manufacturer and model #.
Thank you
Larry

This is a pretty open question. There are just too many variables to what makes a good trailer and everyone will have an opinion that may differ from every other. I'd suggest you take a trip to your local RV shop and feel some out. I'd start with what your towing vehicle weight limits and use that as a gauge on what RV is right. After that it will be all about your family needs.
If you have an idea on different RV models post that as folks can likely relate better. As well some idea's on your towing vehicle.

To be more specific
I have a GMC Duramax, 2500 HD so towing is not a problem, I have towed my 5th wheel and 34' tag with no problems.
What I want is a tag, with front and rear popouts, (preferably with solid sides) and a side slide (optional).
I can go to dealers but there are only one or two manufacturers that I know of Coleman and Keystone. I want some other options?
I would like to have the base unit without the popouts or slides to be no longer than 25'.
Most dealers do not have something like that in stock.
It is just he wife and I, and out two therapy dogs and we will be traveling for extended periods out west.
Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately I can't help much as I'm in the same boat as you. We have only a forest river dealer here and I don't recall seeing any with front and rear slide options. Expect for the Roo hybrid style. Hopefully others have some options for you.
Best of luck.

I have seen ones with rear slides and side slides but not a front slide as well. The cloest thing to that you will get is a HTT.

Outback has models with rear slides and side slides.
The only front slides I have seen are on 5th wheels.

I have never seen a floorplan with front and rear hard slides. There are lots of hybrids out there with canvas front and rear pop-out beds and a slide in the middle. Like this Rockwood Roo 21SS:

I think it has to do with needing enough space to get that side slide in. Since canvas just folds up, it's no problem.
