All of them, unless you are specifically talking bed slides and not any type of slides... Forest River, Kodiak, Jayco have bed slides.

I have a 25rs Rockwood ROO. It has a queen slide and couch slide. Check it out on Forest rivers website. Then look at RV Wholesalers website for a great price.
Good luck,

Most hybrids with "RS" in their name (for Rear Slide) have a hardsided bed. For example, the Rockwood Roo 21RS.
I haven't seen any with 2 hardside beds yet.

No, you just don't see them anymore! The first and last were the Coleman Caravans. Man they were heavy!

a lot of companies make rear slide travel trailers. outback is a real popular brand. but outback never made hybrids so they aren't usually mentioned.
since what you're asking about is a regular travel trailer that has its hard slide on the end instead of the side, you might get more responses on the travel trailer forum. there are probably more brands out there that make rear hard-sided slide trailers than make the canvas bed end hybrids.
just remember, some will eliminate usable space while traveling. look at the floor plan to see if you can still use the bathroom or frig while the slide is in.

Yep, the Roo RS (rear slide) models ain't hybrids, they're travel trailers. Hybrids have beds under tents like popups and hard cabins like travel trailers. They're -- wait for it -- hybrid designs combining the best parts of two species.
We selected a hybrid specifically to sleep outdoors -- we're still "camping" if we're sleeping in a tent, nor "RV-ing."

I'd skip over the ROO RS models unless they have finally upgraded the axles. There was a issue with some models that left little to no cargo carrying buffer, you can contact Forest River directly for answers to that. Forest River's website is notorious for outdated/low dry weights so see a dealer with a actual unit with a weight placard on it or call the 1-800#.
My personal choice after seeing a few and reading some good reviews is the K-Z Spree line. They have a KING rear slide bed - that means no climbing over your mate to get out of bed.
Check them out, they have a nice warranty and have won the DSI service award a few times for quality.

one thing that I noticed when I was looking years ago, don't remember the company, but some models had the bed slide in over the couch and some in over the table. I much preferred the ones that slid in over the couch since it would be easier to fold it down, and you could still use the table when in for lunch enroute, etc.
