looking to upgrade from hybrid to hard sided for room...

We did the same thing this year. Went from a 04 Aerolite HTT to a 06 Aerolite 26QS. We have 3 kids; 8, 6 and 5, so they were excited about getting their own bunks. I have a Chevy Avalanche, so I had to watch the weight. All of the Aerolite chassis from 2004-2008ish have a GVWR of 6000lbs, well within my TV's capabilities. Our TT has the rear queen bed slide, which works great for us. My only 'complaint', which is really just something we will have to get used to, is having only one closet.
