Those of us who have 251's will likely tell you it is really nice to have a bed made every day all day with no more daily hassle than shoving back the comforter and going to bed at night. Trail-lites are 99" wide bodies and for my money do not need the extra weight, expense and hassle of slide-outs, not to mention you will pay about 10K less for a 251 than a 252. Mine has the twin sofa option and uses a table that stands on twin pedestal legs when needed. Table goes behind the driver's seat when on the road. It is surenice to take an afternoon nap if tired. Geromio drives his down to Mexico each year and stays in it for weeks if not months. Just a thought.
