In general "Lite" trailers have thin walls.

hoping for 2-4 weeks at a time once we find some place we like. extreme's in temp are something we'll be trying to avoid. we'll be looking for warm and cool vs Oklahoma winters and summers!
from what I'm reading I sure hope we get an honest and knowledgeable sales person!
I wonder how these light weight trailers are going to handle in 20-30mph winds?

hi - I've done some searching and haven't come up with anything other than dealer info.
we've had a 28ft C for apprx 2years now and with retirement coming up(!)and our plan of doing quite a bit of traveling, we've decided that the C doesn't really lend itself to a long stay. agree or disagree we've decided its going to get small quickly on a 1-2 week stay somewhere.
made the decision of purchasing a 5th wheel. as stated above I can't really find much on this new(?) xtreme light elkridge by heartland. not having any experience with 5th wheels I'm not sure as to the cons of a lighter rig. I can see the pros, not needing a "huge" truck to pull it and I would assume better mileage with the tow vehicle.
following are some specifics on the rig we are looking at:
Eldridge Xtreme Light E289
Length: 31.4
Hitch Weight: 1725lbs
Dry Weight: 8287lbs
as I'm sure you can tell by my wording, we have very little experience with RV'ing in the first place and zero experience with pulling a 5th wheel.
amy thoughts that can offered is greatly appreciated.

we'll be purchasing a truck once we decide on a trailer. makes more sense to figure out what we'd like to have and then figure out what we're going to need to pull it.
