Last shot at a TC...

I *think* I've decided on a 25 foot travel trailer but went to my favorite (national park) campground this weekend and found out they have an 18 foot limit on trailers. So now I'm just (one more time) ruling out a TC option.

I have a 2017 RAM 3500 Megacab shortbed 4x4 with Cummins and AISIN. SRW. Payload listed at 3950 lb.

I am only interested in a quality, durable, four season brand - thinking Arctic Fox or Lance - though I'm open to others if they fit the need - have to be able to camp in the mountains in the winter for a weekend for skiing.

FIgure the wet weight of my TC shouldn't be more than around 3200 lb, maybe only 3000. That doesn't leave tons of options.

Are there any single slide, sleep 4-5 TCs in this weight and quality range that you'd recommend?

    When I was looking to buy my 2500 2016 Ram Laramie. I looked at every dealer in So Cal.I looked at Ford's Chevy's GMC's and Ram Trucks. (I switched from Ford to Ram because of the Cummins Engines, If I could have gotten a Cat in a Ford I would still be driving Ford, But I am Very Happy with what I bought and I am not ever going back) I started looking in June of 2015. I could not find what I wanted. I am not trying to Hijack your thread, but my suggestion is Buy what you want not what they have on their lot and have to get rid of. In Jan.2016 I ordered my Ram and with the options I wanted not what every dealer in So. Cal wanted me to buy off their lots. (I hate vehicles that are painted white)

    I kind of have to agree with Kayteg1

    Sounds like "money is no object" so why don't you build one to your liking?


    Just remember it's what you want not what the salesperson wants to overcharge you with.
    Hope you find what you want good luck and enjoy the new 2017 Ram 3500 :B
  • Artic Fox makes a non slide model that probably fits your request.
