Need Help With Brand Decision

Been looking for a TT toyhauler. All have been between 25-28 feet. Here are the brands:

Forest River - Shockwave and Sandstorm
Eclipse - Attitude and Stellar
Pacific Coach Works - Sandsport, Powerlite and Rage'n

All have similar floorplans, weights and specs.

I am wondering which of these brands have the "better" reputation for a quality build. I understand they are all fairly similar in construction. I am preferring the glass sided trailer. Would this be a good decision or would the aluminum sided be a better way to go? Looking for any and all opinions with reasons.

Pacific Coach Works appears to be the smallest company of the ones mentioned, any positive to this?

I have also looked at the Genesis Supreme, looks like a nice trailer and have read good things about this small builder. Thoughts?

Thanks for the time in helping me out.

I'd search this Forum for the brands mentioned AND contact the RV Consumer Group, www.rv.org, for their more objective reviews.

We have the stellar, nothing fancy and all has been good so far. Good luck and enjoy!

You're all set as far as a TV is concerned. I'm the original owner of a 2005 Attitude TH. Still own it and still riding strong. That said, I can also tell you about all the problems I found in it as well. New ones should be so much better these days as the company was only like a year or two old back then.

Most of these have a GVW of 10k lbs. This should be ok for my truck. Have a 97 F350 with the 7.3, did some towing mods on transmission as well as trans cooling. Only has 62k miles on it. GCWR for truck is 20k lbs.

be sure you clearly understand the carrying capacity of your rig if you plan on hauling any toys in the garage. this may greatly impact a decision on which rig u purchase (it did for us)
