Looking for 30 ft or so Toy Hauler with Walk Around Bed

Hi all,
Looking for help with finding a particular layout in a toy hauler. We've been looking at many trailers, but haven't found exactly what we want. Ideally it would be around 30 ft long total, hopefully even a bit less. The Keystone Carbon 27 is almost ideal, except we'd like one where one can walk around 3 sides of the bed. We are willing to sacrifice the wall between the garage and living area, but want 1 slide out in the living area like the Keystone Carbon 27 has.
I don't need a large garage area. I'll only be hauling one motorcycle at the most. We can buy new or used. So a 8 or 9 foot garage is plenty.
Thanks!
Will

Thanks everyone for the great tips. The Desert Fox 27FS is very nice. It has some features I havenโ€™t seen elsewhere like 16โ€ tires and an available 8 cu ft fridge. But weโ€™re looking for one with a slide in the living area to get just a little more space.
The Eclipse models are really close to what I was looking for. The 28SAG looks great and they have an Iconic 2817CKG on their website. Unfortunately theyโ€™re apparently not sold east of the Mississippi. It could be worth a trip out west for the perfect toy hauler though!
Weโ€™ve looked at the various Keystone models. A good friend has a Raptor. But weโ€™re trying to stay around 31โ€™ max length if possible.
I had considered d the Dutchman Voltage 2951, but again no slide in the living area.
The Work N Play haulers are a good tip. Iโ€™d seen them but passed over them, since I didnโ€™t know that some of them have nicely finished living areas. The 30WRS is longer than we want, but if the 25WAB had a slide, it would be absolutely perfect. Right at 30โ€™ long so itโ€™d be easier to tow and qualify for shorter camp sites. It is a good candidate if we decide to compromise and go with no slide.
Itโ€™s a good competitor to the Sportsman Sportster 265TH which is about the same length with no slide, but is a 5th wheel .
Itโ€™s all fun, I love shopping! My spreadsheet of candidate trailers has now grown to 41 units!

If we were to buy another coach built as well as our Camplite 21rbs it would be the ATC.28 with the front bedroom and built in Genny.

We used to have a Work & Play 30WRS. Not as fancy but tough as nails, a small slideout for the couch, a 10' garage, and a walk around bed in the master bedroom. The guy who bought it from me did so to haul his Harley to Daytona and Sturgis.

We just bought the Voltage Triton 2951 5th wheel. It has the walk around bed but no slides in the main area, just one for the closet in the bedroom. Total length is only 32'.

We also looked at the Eclipse trailers but the quality left a lot to be desired. Also there have been a lot of posts on frame cracks on the Eclipse trailers. There are options for the shorter 5th wheels now but we couldn't find any used. If new is an option, they are out there.

They are out there. My Attitude 28SAG is just over 31ft total length. Its the separate garage models that really jump up in size/weight.

Just posting to say we have the "old" version of the Carbon 27, the Raptor 27FS. Not being able to walk around the bed really really sucks, and is one of the reasons we want to upgrade to a 5th wheel. Sorry I'm not answering with something more helpful ๐Ÿ™‚

If you're willing to go up to 35' or so, the Keystone Impact 5th wheels might fit what you want. We're looking at the 351 for ourselves, with a 12' garage. The 311 has a 10 garage and is right around 35'.

I believe it will have to be a bumper pull. We prefer a fifth wheel but short fifth wheel toy haulers are rare. Also, we are selecting the truck after we decide on the trailer. But trying to stay below 12000 gvwr. Thanks!
