Be extremely cautious.
Most slide-ons will overload the rear of these vehicles, even before you add water and food etc.
Weigh it ON the vehicle before paying your money.

Cheers,

Have a look at the advice given to me by forum members on "Hiring a Slide On". I had the same intention but found that finding the right unit a little more complex than I first thought and to get the right unit I may as well go small full motorhome . If you go down the slide on route keep us up to date on the progress .

Ps Go electric jacks/ stabilizers if you go the slide on route have had a go at both manual and electric and electric is so much simpler

I reckon the slide on route is the only way to get a fully off road capable tiny motor home for a decent price. Like everything else there's always a trade off and to get good load carrying capacity you have to be very careful getting the correct dry weight of the slide on and increasing your vehicle's GVM is a must.

There are some decent units out there.
