Looking for Light Trailer Recommendations
Sold our diesel pusher last May, but doggone it, we're now realizing how much we miss getting out. But in order to keep life simpler and less expensive, we are looking at TTs. I have a 2014 Silverado...

Since Light weight and ultra light weight can be nothing more than advertising, I would suggest finding out what the acceptable numbers for your truck are and looking at any trailer within those numbers that meet your needs.
Our 25 ft bh weighs 4200 lb dry and the version with the slide 4800 lb. The weight and cost saving measures have no impact on our camping experience. The plastic sink holds water and the plastic toilet doesn't crumble even though I weigh 230 lb. Even though our TT is on the low end of the pricing, the construction is like the other Gulfstream units and things that do matter like a solid wood floor are there. We haven't had so much as a issue in three years.
It is narrower, shorter and only a 3 season rig but it works for us on the rough roads, ruts, washouts and washboards we see every trip. We can make it around tighter turns and under lower canopies where the bigger rigs can't and even though it gets below freezing most of the time at night, we stay warm and never camp when it is freezing day and night.
So find out what your needs are (not always the same as wants) and what your truck can handle and start shopping.
