Going to actually be harder than you think to find something without slide outs. Best brand i can think of without slides would be Airstream as they strictly make bumper pulls without slides. Most tow behinds in the 20-27' range will have a slide in the living area. Both of my campers have had slides and neither one gave me trouble. My first camper was a 29' spree by KZ that had one slide and was fairly light for its size at around 6k pounds. I now have a 32' Wildcat 5th wheel by Forrest River and have been pleased. Pretty much all of the trailers i have been around are hit/miss on quality and you will have little things to fix as long as you own it.

ETA: Both campers i bought new at Berryland and have no complaints.

OP, FYI. Do not buy anything pre 2006. Most of those were used for people to live in after Katrina.

I have heard that the slide outs tend to leak alot. Again I have never had a camper so this is all hearsay. I am trying to keep length to a minimum because I have never pulled a camper before. I really don't want to go new for my first camper but am open to any suggestions.
