Looking for the longest TT without a sliding glass doors
Considering going back to a TT. But all the ones I like have a sliding glass door.Just doesn't seem to be good to haul alot.
Does any have sliding doors that haul alot without issues?
Seen a wildwood 43 ft with 2 bedrooms that was nice.But has the sliding glass doors.

Are these not called park models? I thought they were for pulling to a permanent site.

Exactly what it is...not design for travel, and some don't even have holding tanks.

The one I was looking at does have holding tanks but has glass doors .My last tt was 36ft.
Seen a few at campgrounds that were towed in.
Just like I ask.What is the largest tt with out glass doors?

Sandpiper/Sierra 376BHOK is 43'
Salem Hemisphere 356QB is 42'3" Wildwood Heritage Glen 356QB is the same.
There are a couple others at 43' and quite a few over 40'

Just looked at a fifth wheel with a sliding door wall at the Detriot RV show, I don't see how this can be very durable. Seems like there would be a lot of flexing causing all kinds of issues.

The OP already has a fifth wheel and is looking for a travel trailer, I believe:

What TT have you looked at that have a " sliding glass door" and what the hell is a sliding glass or in a travel trailer? The shower door?

Park model type TT's have sliding glass doors, and not the real permanent ones either. Some of them are just longer tt's with all the same stuff as thier shorter counter parts.
When we were looking for a trailer I was open to a longer one most of the used ones that sit in a campground for a decade are junk after that. If you've ever been in a longer tt they truly are a condo on wheels and the once with two true separate bedrooms are amazing. Problem is you would need a pull thru most of the time

We looked at a couple pretty long tt's last time we were at the dealer. The Rockwood/Flagstaff Signature Ultralites are around 35 feet and some of the Lacrosse models are nearly 38' Both were nice. I think that is about the max length unless you stay with the 5er or go to a park model.

Been there, done that
We just traded in a 2006 Keystone Hornet. It was a 35ft TT and had a sliding glass door. Only used 4-5 times a year but never had any issues with the door from a towing aspect. We bought the camper thinking we would love being able to see out, but what we found was the poor people sleeping in the LR were woken up BRIGHT and early by Mr. Sunshine and when it was cold outside, the big glass door was cold. Not to mention the dog nose smudges from our fur babies. Our new 37ft Avenger just has a standard door, I'm really excited about that.

The ones that are park models are usually designated with a different name and like I said the sliding glass door. The ones with all the same equipment as all the other trailers can be pulled like the rest of them. Also some park model have a different shape and real big windows in the front more like a real house. Look up Cedar Creek Cottage.
