He has the Discover model. Really well done. My wife wants a little more comfort

Can someone explain the specified trailer weights to me? That tiny no boundaries is heavy, no?

You would look at the dry weight spec'd for the trailer and the tongue/hitch weight. Add in your fluids (ours has a 45 gallon fresh water tank) and other gear to get your total. Compare that to what your tow vehicle can handle. No Boundries is a Forest River product that is designed to be smaller/lighter and able to go "off road" with lifted axles, beefier tires. Our Lance 2185 has a dry weight of 4,380 and a hitch weight of 730. It's a tandem axle which I prefer.

If it were just me and my Dog I'd have a slide in truck camper but my wife has certain requirements and I'm a good compromiser when I need to be. She wanted a bed she didn't have to re-make every day. She insisted on a slide for more room. I'd just make sure the wife was on board with her list of wants/needs. When we looked at the Oliver and similar it didn't tick the bed and slide boxes so I found a used Lance that she loves. Ours is pre buy out by the REV group. Prior to that Lance was one of the few larger but independent makers of trailers and truck campers known for good quality. Cheaper than Airstream but pricier and better quality than the multitude of brands from Forest River, Thor, etc. Airstream is owned by Thor now.
