Recently I bought my first RV for a steal, it has a manual bed in the back slide out. So far I haven't had too many issues, other than my strength is not what it's up to be to do this on my own. Last weekend, I think it wasn't on the level, the trailer appeared to be and I've parked here a few times before, this time, it took lots of strength to pull it out. It jumped one of the rails. I had to pop off the rail and get it popped back on under the wheel. When it was finally out, it appeared to be a bit tipped down at the end. I see that the turn buckles may have adjustments and will give it a try. Also, when pulling it out the rails can sway side to side, causing the bed to do so as well.
I'm learning a lot from this lil RV, and I'm creating a list of what to features to look for, when I upgrade. I know it will be a surround bed, not a pull out, and I like what I see for the living areas that pull out.
My current and learning model is a 2008 Keystone RV Outback lite travel trailer. I love it! It feels well built and my 2001 Chevy Suburban pulls it like it's not back there at all. I've borrowed my brothers and hands down I like mine more, except for the bed. His is a surround bed and no pull outs.
When looking at travel trailers that are fulling pulled out or no pull outs, I'm looking at sizes that any park will take, 21-25ft I think is the general rule.
Can people list good models in that size and what they like do/do not like about them. Also what they have found about various pull outs. I travel with big dogs to several types of trials (show, agility, hunting) so the living space pull out has merit.
