Though Mine is a different model it says something for the building techniques and over all quality of the line. We towed our Rockwood over 50,000 miles before needing our first repair. It is one of several fine brands to consider.

Linky Bunks in the back (a single and a double), nice big slide, master with an honest swinging (not sliding) door, and many other very nice touches. Literature puts it at some 4,700#, but those weights are always light. Title weight is 5,150. I just loaded it with some 1,200# to 1,500# of stuff for a week at the beach and my Expedition pulled it over 600 miles round trip at 60+ MPH without any problems. Got 9.5 MPG. I've also pulled it through the mountains without much trouble. 2nd gear in the steep stuff, but what can I say...it's a gasser. I like the trailer a whole lot. Bought it off the lot for just over $15k. After an exhaustive search, it was the only one available anywhere near us that met our layout, weight (under 5k# dry), and length (under 28' preferred, under 30' required) requirements. It was just a bonus that it we got a great deal on it. * This post was edited 07/15/10 10:41pm by keithinspace * 2011 Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite 255BH Hensley Arrow 2005 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer (3.73 and Towing Package) Me, Wife, Girl (7 YO), Boy (5 YO), Blind Beagle (92 YO), Tuxedo Cat (1 YO; 7 lives remaining) HighCover • View posts Fort Worth Senior Member Joined: 11/26/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/15/10 08:59pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Heartland Edge M22 (4900# GVWR).

The Focus FX22 is cheaper, has ducted heat/air, but loses a lot of the Edge cool factor. Also, check out Crossroads Slingshot TTs. Every one is less than 5000 dry, even one just under 29' OAL.

They make a 23' model that fits your criteria: I have the same table and slide-out. For eating more that 2 people at a time, we add 2 stools facing the couch. http://keystonerv-bullet.com/index.php?page=floorplans&coast=&model=230BHS Toyota Highlander V6 sport 2009 Keystone - Bullet 180FBS 2010 Tekonsha P3 Parrot CK3000 (bluetooth system) This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Travel Trailers  > light weight travel trailer
