High end vs mid level

There's more, look at their website. We LOVE our trailer! That's not to say we haven't had issues with it. I believe ALL RVs have issues from time to time. I've heard nice things about Landmark, your money, your decision. :B

Just my 2 cents......

Same here!

For a high end unit IMHO considering price they are at the top of the heap.

You better have the proper truck to tow one of these monsters, 23K here.

KindaSorta get what ya pay for.

Do Not pay any attention to the price. Buy the unit that fits your family with the desired features your looking for. The reason I say this, is after 20 years and thousands of dollars it has become very clear the build quality in this industry is extremely lacking. Purchase what you want and look for the best factory WARRANTY, then go and enjoy!!!!!

Landmark offers a 2 0r 3 year full timer warranty. You may or may not get a 2 year warranty with a mid range. Like others have said the high end units offer much more than bling.

Depending upon what brand you purchase, superior frame ( built in house are generally better than Lippert)....probably can have a fairly high tow rated receiver hitch, higher rated axles/brakes/tires/rims. thicker sidewalls with greater insulation, dual pane windows, better interior materials/workmanship, better grades of toilet/ faucets/ plumbing, thicker and better grade of floor and roof decking. These are but a few of the items that a “true” higher end unit can/will/should offer! Truly high end units are much more than “smoke and mirrors”, but cost accordingly. Also, generally weigh much more than a “wanna be” high end unit. So now...you must consider a tow vehicle up to the task. Older, well maintained, high end units can be had at very reasonable expenditures! You will have to be diligent in your research, be willing to travel, pass on several (possibly many) that do not meet your standards!

Mostly fluff on the inside. Frame will be the same though the higher end model might have better running gear. Springs are likely the same though. One might have a regular microwave while the up-market model might have a convection microwave. The up-market might have a larger water heater, a better AC unit, that type of thing.

More amenities . . more standard stuff as apposed to being an option... more fluff.. possibly better grade furnishings.. molded rear cap instead of flat back...

More bells and whistles, and maybe better furnishings and appliances. But don't bet on any better build quality.

more layers is about it.When you need to fix something it is hide more
