We're close to pulling the trigger on a Laredo 5th wheel. It seems to have the best floor plan to suite our needs. We will be going from a Rockwood Ultralite that is 31'8" to a 35'5" Laredo. The Laredo has a much heavier frame with larger axles & 16" wheels. It looks to be very well constructed. My concerns are:Is the Laredo as well built as I think?Will it have a good resale value?Will I be sorry for moving up to a 35' trailer?Will it be effected more or less by strong winds than our present trailer?This will be our second 5th wheel & we don't want a unit we're not happy with. Any feedback would be appreciated.

what truck you have will mean something on the wind when towing. Resale is not going to be good for any rv. I think when buying any rv look for the things that you will never get used to. Example is not being able to stand up in the bedroom. 35 ft usually is not this kind of problem but I have seen it on a 36 ft HH once. It might not be as well built as you think but what is?? Enjoy it if it fits you needs and your truck is big enough.chevman

Resale is only going to be as good as the price you pay it. If you pay too much when you buy it you will lose more when you sell it. You should be able to get somewhere around 30-35% off the "list" price. Shop the internet and see what you can get one for.B.O.

The lowest seems to be the best and most knowledgeable but not the closest. Will likely go with them.
