Light weight fifth wheel toy hauler with slide

Are you aware of any lighter weight, fifth wheel toyhaulers with a slide. We are only planning to carry bicycles and kayaks. We would like to have decent living area and kitchen with the slide, and still the front queen bed and rear queen bed.

I'm towing with a 2015 Ram 2500 CTD Crew Cab 4x4.

I've been looking at the KZ Sportster models (331TH12 [Formerly 315TH12] and 352TH12 [Formerly 355TH12]) and the Puma Unleashed 351THSS. They advertise hitch weights under 2,000 lbs.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you :)

    Thank you for the suggestions of the Eclipse models.

    I'm also looking at some light weight fifth wheel travel trailers -- just wish there was something with a better storage area with large outside storage door like several of the bunkhouse bumper pull travel trailers have.

    My Attitude 28SAG with sofa slide is 9k dry qith a 12k GVWR. Any 3/4 ton can handle thos trailer fine. There are a few other manufacturers with comparable models. Its when you get into the separate garage models these things become big and heavy.

    Watch your pin weight if you aren't carrying much in the garage. If the garage is empty, the pin weight will go up.

    We'd like to get a toy hauler also but below 30' the garage has to double as living space (not desirable) or you wind up with a really small living space.

    Check out some of the Eclipse Attitude models that were mentioned in the thread about 30' toy haulers. I hadn't run across them before but several are pretty intriguing. The 28SAG and 31CRSG stood out. The former is under 32' and the latter is under 35'. We're in a similar situation and don't really expect to haul around a lot of heavy toys per se, but the cargo flexibility, on board generator and fresh water capacity is very appealing versus a standard fifth wheel.
