Several companies make them here. As 5th wheelers are not that popular you get these instead. Yes they have slideouts and they do NOT go Off Road

Airstream and AVION both made 34โ€™ triple axle TT from circa 1978 to 2006.

Iโ€™ve a 35โ€™ Silver Streak, but itโ€™s tandem axle.

These trailers were approx 9-10k gross.

I checked the online trailer dimensions, then carefully crunched the numbers and concluded you could fit precisely 17 kangaroos inside those Aussie rigs, along with 8 koalas and 12 cases of Foster's Lager. And then it's Party Time!!

I like that first trailers interior though.

You would be amazed how many are like that as regards interiors. Very very competitive market here. Grit Dog you could learn a lot how others do it outside the US and Canada as you do not have much of an idea

Fairly might be an understatement.
At least in our local area it looks like 5er prices are driving buyers to behemoth travel trailers. Most being pulled by 1500 short bed lifted trucks.

Would be a real ask to hav these pulled by a Ford 150

Another concern is all the distance between the hitch and the front axle. Monster tongue weight or three light duty axles?
