light travel trailers

[Npdchief07]

What are some of the lightest yet still spacious (bunks, etc) on the market?

Jayco model "SLX" , below info is from the Jayco Owners Forum.

JayFlight (is the upgraded model) vs SLX

So far the differences I have noted on the SLX are listed below. •Half the water capacity .
Jayflight 'Elite' package offers 90 gals.(2 tanks , with one fill , one overflows into the other)
•20 lb propane tanks with no covers
•Curtains instead of the doors to the front sleeping area
•No medicine cabinet
•Missing shelves in side of cabinets
•No cabinet doors over the front bed
•No raised panel doors on the cabinets
•No ladder on the back
•No window side curtains
•No control panel box to hide all the switches
•Tv does not swing around to the front bed
•No tank Flusher
•Steel Rims
•Cheaper mattress
•No wall thermostat for the AC
•Different Axles

slx may also use diff. size tires and 6 cu ft fridge instead of 8cf.

Elite Package
Black Tank Flush, Digital Touch Screen Remote, 90 Gallon Capacity Fresh Water Tanks (2), Hardwood Drawer Fronts Throughout, Kitchen Sink Covers, Large Entry Door Grab Handle, Porcelain Toilet, Raised Panel Cabinets in Kitchen and Living Room, Refrigerator Insert (N/A in 38BHDS & 38FDDS), Roof Ladder, Skylight w/ Shade in Kitchen, Upgrade Faucet w/ Pull-Out Sprayer, Mor/Ryde CRE 3000 Suspension

JayFlights also offer an Arctic pack with extra foil type insulation, not sure about the SLX model offering that.

I guess that is not surprising. I was shopping last week and discovered that some of the lower end Coachmen models had only electric refrigerators, no propane option. I wonder how many beginners get taken in by this ploy?

Not sure what the X's mean,...

Means "times two" = I agree.

[theoldwizard1]

Most of the "eggshell" TT are fairly light.

The Lil' Snoozy is kind of "radical" in that there is no propane (double burner electric hot plate, electric space heater) and it can be order without a black water tank (removable toilet cassette). I sounds crazy, but most people do NOT camp at sites without electric and everything in the TT can be run on a 2000-3000W generator.

Jayco X2

Not sure what the X's mean, but the SLX series of Jaycos are light in weight and cost with quality equal to or better than the half dozen other brands that I have owned in the past 14 years. Most of the appliances are common throughout the industry. Just purchased my second Jayco.

Check out Trail Manor as well.

The trailer in my signature is comfortable for 4 large people for at least 10 days, we'll be doing 3 weeks straight in it this summer and I'm not worried about space. It weighs ~3k lbs dry with a gvwr of 3,600.

Don't know but I would peruse Jayco who makes almost every kind of RV and has for years.
No, I don't work for them and don't even own one.

Apex TT are really light, and have lots of room as well. Our Apex is 31' long, Has a larges slide = Sofa, and kitchen. Bunkhouse. 2 full beds for bunks, and weighs dry YELLOW sticker 4811lb. that includes battery, empty propane tanks, awning, well everything in it. It has a 74- 7500lb GVWR

[GordonThree]

really broad question, can you narrow it down a little? u mention bunks, so do you want bunks, how many bunks, what size bunks?
