What do you mean by king slide? Rear slide outs with a king sized bed like this?
Or just a deep slide, 36-42" like this?
I highly recommend weighing your current setup with all your travel gear to understand how much heavier you can go. Full timers take a lot of stuff, often 3000+ pounds. That would be something like 4200 pounds dry to stay under your tow rating.
I mean a rear king slide (preferably with no other slides, though).
We have been fulltiming with a light rig. Our combined weight runs 10,000-10,300 (the two times I weighed us).
The Tahoe is 5340. The TT is 4280. So--our "fulltimer load" runs around 400-700 pounds generally speaking, but we could be safe adding another 1200 and still be below the loaded max of 6200 for the TT. Really--we do understand how to fulltime in an ultralight. Some of us fulltimers are also fulltime minimalists.
Many of the rear king slide models I've seen are pretty well within those limits too--I've just heard mixed reviews...so I appreciate all you who have shared your experiences!
