Fifth wheel investment

We are contemplating on purchasing a 2013 Dutchmen Denali 262RLX (27') in Alberta and are a little concerned as to whether this is truly a good unit to invest in. Previously, we were looking at the Jayco 26RLS due to presently owning a 2011 24FB travel trailer which has proven to be a truly marvellous unit. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might a good fifth rv as we are retiring and want to see Canada during the summer months. Certainly appreciate any assistance in this.

    Agree with the others. Having said that I'd be favouring jayco over Dutchmen. Also have a look at the Crusader at General RV. Just bought a 295rst and like it very much.

    When you get an RV it is not an investment. It is a purchase of something that, hopefully, gives you pleasure, but losses monetary value rapidly.

    It's disposable like a car or truck, not to be considered an 'investment'. Enjoy your trailer whichever you decide on but realize it will depreciate to nothing in 20 yrs.
