Short trailer with a lot of square footage?

Suggest a short(er) trailer with a lot of square footage. I'm thinking it would be one with 3 or even 4 slides I suppose. Thanks.

I like hybrids. Short tow and easy storage at home.

With more than one slide my primary concern would be if it is usable at all while being towed.

At the very least look for something that has a door very close to or directly into the bathroom.

One of the things we love about our TT is how usable nearly everything stays with the single slide in. And with the slide out we have room for 3 large dog crates at night and can still walk down a clear route from the bed to the bathroom.

Jayco Eagle SuperLite 256RKS, 28'3" tongue to rear bumper, only one slide, but it's 3' deep and 11' or 12' long. We love it.

Build quality seems very good. http://northwoodmfg.com/index.php?page=model&make=snowriver&id=1105


That is one nice floor plan, and great exterior

Thanks folks. I'll check out the suggestions so far. Short is around 30 foot or less. Bunks or no bunks are both good.

I have a Keystone Bullet Premier 26RBPR. Extremely spacious with two opposing slides. There is also a bunkhouse version, 29BHPR. The 26RBPR is 26' 10" plus trailer tongue so it ends up just shy of 30'. Not sure what your definition of short is, but it certainly meets the definition of spacious.

We've noticed since we bought the 26RBPR that more travel trailers have opposing slides now.

How about a Rear Hard slide model, Like Keystone Outback Terrain 250? Do you need bunks?

I second this 100%. In general, hybrids maximize the balance of floor space in a shorter lighter weight trailer. AAMOF, until I got the RV I now have the Roo 23IKSS was the leading contender to replace the excellent Jayfeather hybrid I had previously.

That said, if the OP is averse to sleeping under canvas then hybrids are not the answer.

Might be a hard search but some company might make a shorter trailer with multiple slides. The most I've seen on smaller trailers (25ft and under) is one slide and it's usually a small dinette sized slideout. Jayce makes a smaller rig with multiple pop-outs (tent camper style) but that might not be what you're looking for.
