Lightweight non-hybrid TT that sleeps 7-8 people?

I'm not sure it matters how light because there aren't any half tons that have enough payload to carry 7 people and 1000 pounds of tongue weight.

I would look for something with opposing slides in the bunk house, like this Shadow Cruiser 314 which is the lightest one I've seen, but will be 7500-8000 pounds for a long weekend. There are others that are similar floorplan up to 9k dry.

There isn't a lighter weight smaller TT out there with converting couches/dinette or bunk beds that can sleep 7? Up until now we have used a pop-up (17' when opened) but wanted to upgrade to something not much bigger necessarily, but with a bathroom. We looked at used hybrids but they all seemed to have issues with leaking/water damage.

This Bullet 272BHSWE sleeps 10 and is 5100lbs dry

Our vehicle pulled our popup so easily we could forget it was there. Is there anything out there with a dry weight of 5k lbs?

Compared to?

Generally "light weight" also means "lower quality", compared to "heavy". Quality weighs more.

That being said, there are light rigs that are better then others. Lance and the new Nash units (no longer identical to Arctic Fox)

Thanks! I also saw a Grey Wolf unit that looked interesting. How are they as a company?

Oh, so the reluctance of looking at hybrids isn't the concept but the issues you've seen? I don't blame you. However, you should keep looking at them. You'll be hard pressed to find a hard side with the specifications you are looking for. We just traded our old hybrid that was 10 years old and never had a leak save for a very small one on a roof seam. You're going to have to deal with potential roof leaks on any used trailer. Anyhow, our old HTT was too small for you, but my point is that they are out there. Leaks on hybrids have more to do with lack of proper care than any inherent design issues. You'll find the same is true of any trailer you look at.

It does not sound like you are looking at new trailers, but here's another to consider. Vista Cruisers are pretty light weight. Our neighbor bought one.
