Has anyone had any experience with having a structural change made to a trailer, during manufacturing?Looking for a TT that has no slide-outs and the ones of a size which we like all have slide-outs (not interested in Airstream). Are any manufacturers receptive to not cutting the wall and installing the slide-out? I understand it would change the weight balance, but I'm sure we could find something to replace the missing weight.I realize we could contact each manufacturer, but looking for anyone who may have some actual experience with this.Marv

I don’t think it’s just a matter of not cutting a hole and associated hardware. It most likely will require a significant changes to the floor plan as well.

I don't think you're going to find any mass producing manufacturer is going to be willing to make accommodations for a one-off custom floor plan. I know of one manufacturer that does do some custom work; Dune Sport. Over the years they've had a bit of a mixed bag of reviews. Before you contact them take the time to read about things from one of our toy hauler members that purchased from them; purchased a custom dune sport toyhauler

Would not be worth their time to custom make one special for you unless you were will to pay out a premium for it. And not too likely even then. It would require new engineering drawings to restructure the framework. Basically becoming a new model in itself.

My experience:Leaving out interior furniture->maybe.Changes to the basic box and runnig gear->no way.OP needs to shop around for something without a slide. There are a few.
