I too like the idea of the "enclosed box" without any slides. I have a travel trailer not available (Eclipse RV Manufacturing model 24LSBHG) in your neck of the woods so I won't recommend it. I took it on a coast to coast trip two years ago and we saw all kind of wind and rain when we hit the Southern U.S.
No leaks ever! BTW-there seems to be an on going topic(s) on this forum about twisted frames with slides,misaligned slides, leaks with slides, gears going out, motors going out,etc.-not saying they are all like that but if you can eliminate the problems from the beginning (by not getting one) it seems to make sense
Good luck on your search!
