Non-slide travel trailers longer than 28'?
We were planning to buy a Transcend Explor 247BH. It is 29'11" long with no slide out. See floorplan below. It has been very difficult to find a stock unit with the current situation.
Can you recommend any other new, good quality, no-slide travel trailers 28' or longer? (Other than Airstream).
Thank you.

You may need to look at older Air Stream or Avion trailers to get no slides.

I came across this KZ Sportsmen SE 270BHSE. Kind of a cool floorplan. Sharing in case anyone else is looking for something like this.

Problem with that floor plan in my mind, is you could be "trapped" in the bedroom while someone is using the bathroom (or not able to get to the bedroom from the other way). I don't really like having to enter / exit the bedroom through the bathroom.

That is a great point. I did not think of that. Thank you.

Here are two more with no slide that appear to have been manufactured only around 2019-2020.
Jayco Jay Flight SLX 8 298BH and Dutchmen Aspen Trail 2740BH.
I think they are just under 32'.

I have/bought new. As I chose no slides. 2018. Forest river grey wolf 26bh, limited. I have the drop down rear rack, factory, but looks like it could be added to any heavyish bumper. It is great for extra storage.
Mine is going away in a month or so, as I am down sizing to a pop up truck camper and a 6X10 enclosed utiltie trailer. As I fulltime, I need a place for stuff.

I looked at this mtn trx series from outdoor
Rv. I liked it but we ended up with another
Model of orvs.
https://www.outdoorsrvmfg.com/trail-series-29trx/
This can be a toy hauler or a bunkhouse.
Its pretty versatile also a back deck. No slide..

still, outdoorsrv does build some nice units for sure! one of the best insulation packages on the market,imo. the standard thermal pane windows are a huge plus for sound deadening as well.
