Lite weight TT that sleeps 10????

[welovecamping12]

Is there such a thing as a lite weight TT that sleeps 10??? Our tow vehicle is an 2012 E-350 van.

My 2014 Rockwood ultra light 2909 SS sleeps 10 and weighs 5705 pounds dry.

Good luck with the Bullet 281bhs from Keystone. Nice trailer but quality sucks. My son is taking his back in today for the umteenth time to try getting the leak around the slide fixed. And now after numerous repairs the slide will not even work. So his trip to the beach was cancelled when halfway there and he is back home.

I think he is done with camping if he can get rid of this thing because of the continuous problems he has had. Let me know if you're interested.

I am sure there are good ones out there but his has been a headache from the beginning. Warranty is out in a couple of months and the company response is we will continue to fix it until the warranty runs out, then we are done.

Kudos to Spartanburg Camping World service department for getting the slide back in so it could brought home. Parts order required so they could not do a complete fix to the problem.

This is the first bad review I've read of the Bullet. I pick mine up next week. the salesman demonstrated the slide to us and it worked fine. There was no hint of water leakage in the TT. But now I'm going to keep close tabs on these issues and make sure everything is worked out before the warranty ends.

Hopefully they will get this thing fixed permanently this time around. And then maybe he can get by his concerns and enjoy the unit. I think the floor plan is awesome. He is working with a different repair shop now too, maybe that will help.

Our Outback sleeps ten, it does not live ten.
When we have extra people we put up a tent.

Amen! living ten is NOT the same as sleeping ten. Mine is not techinically a lightweight, but a light-er weight than a comparable wooden trailer. Dry it's 6700 lbs, but has a huge carrying capacity that I'll never use (at least with this tow vehicle) of 3000 lb. I can do nine easily, ten with a squeeze.

We have a Shadow Cruiser 280QBS from Cruiser RV that can sleep 10. It has 4 bunks in the back, a queen bed up front, and a large dinette and sofa that can be made into a bed. You won't get 10 adults, obviously, but 3-4 adults and 6-7 kids would be no problem. The GVWR of the trailer is 7,530 pounds, but loaded up for camping ours weighs in at about 5700 pounds.

Keystone has many ultra lightweight options for you in both the Passport and Bullet Series. We have the 2013 Bullet 281BHS, 31ft 7in that sleeps 10, weighs empty at 5100lbs and a tongue weight of 515lbs, which your E350 can definitely handle. We use a Diesel SUV to pull it, not a suburban or truck. Install the weight distr hitch and anti sway for extra safety!

You can sleep 10; however I would say that there is storage for personal items more so for 6 because the bunks and master have their own storage spots. The additional 4 people do have a closet they can share with the bunksters, but it might be a little bit of a squeeeze. They could put their stuff under the dinette bed and under the pull out sofa too. There is lots of storage on the outside too but we mainly use that for other stuff like chairs, cords and trailer equipment.

Just google Keystone for the brochure and they provide all the floorplans and specs for each in one easy brochure, one brochure for the Passport and one for the Bullet. The Bullet series has a thermal package and a few other extras that are nice.

How about a Roo 233S. 3 Queen size bunks, couch, and U shape dinette...and worst case, enough room on the floor for an inflatable mattress.

Coachmen 292bhds with 4 bunks and no camp kitchen.

[SprinklerMan]

I have an e 350 van , the extended one with a 5.4 triton . I dont know the specs off the top of my head , but loaded with tools (work van) I tow a 14 ft equip trailer 7000 lbs no problem .

Look at my signature. The 288BHS Apex sleeps 10 easily. And has several times. It comes in at 4811LBS yellow sticker weight. It is 31' over all. Ducted AC, Queen in master, and the bunks are 2 full sized beds. The extra large dinette makes a bed, as does the sofa. The slide has the sofa, and kitchen in it.
It is made of Azdel, a super lite weight composite, with good insulation values. There a re 2 doors, one into the living area, and the other into the bathroom. Which we have come to love. Especially for the kids. Just set them in, and they don't have to track thru the entire TT.

Keystone Passport has many lightweight TT's that can sleep 10.

Here is one

[krobbe]

The Keystone Bullet 294BHS sleeps 10. The bunk room alone will sleep 5.(1 over the entertainment center. 1 on the pullout trundle. 2 on the couch. And 1 on the bunk over the couch.) Then there is 1 on the dinette. 2 on the couch. And 2 on the queen bed. On mine I removed the trundle and set in 8 stacking, deep drawers for amazing storage. The dry weight on it is 5635Lbs.
