jimh425 You said ~ getting a trailer of some type. What will you uses be? Are you mechanical inclined?
Yes, I’m capable of repair/modifications of an RV. If I wasn’t, I probably wouldn’t be looking at older models. Also retired, so I don’t have to optimize my time to avoid doing repairs.
As far as uses go, I’d use a toy hauler like many generally use toy haulers. I have a UTV and two street bikes. I might also buy dirt bikes. I like the flexibility of the space, but it’s obviously not going to be as comfortable as a fifth wheel.
I can pull my utility trailer behind my TC, but my TC doesn’t have enough sitting spaces for longer trips. I can forsee the possibility of doing multiweek trips along with my DW and two dogs and possibly grand kids. The TC is fine of a night or two. Not so much for longer trips.
As far as brands go, I’m more familiar with better brands of fiftth wheels than toy haulers. I know most brands don’t make a toy hauler. I’m wondering about the rear doors for instance on toy haulers and lack of furniture. My thought is that furniture would help support walls while doors will make the end of the RV less stable. Could be wrong, so that’s why I was asking about durability.
