new toyhaulers? really?
My friend just bought a new 28 foot sandsport for like 50 grand and a new 2015 f350 to pull it. I have a 2004 WW fs3000 which I got as a repo back in early 2010 for 10,500, I started thinking about a new one.
What a joke, sure I like the new cabinet finish and counter tops but thats it. He has a sand rail, it wont fit, the layout with the front walk around bedroom and kitchen on one side leaves no room, it would fit in mine just fine, he got a new shop thinking he could park his TH inside, nope its lifted and is 6" too high, mine would fit fine, his isn't a wide body it feels really cramped inside. his bathroom is slightly larger, mine works perfect. All of his electrical 110 outlets are under the cabinets, he has to put a box under the coffee maker to plug it in, his I phone has to hang from its cord, mine has many outlets on the walls in convienent locations. His graphics go over the windows, I thought they were transparent, nope, they block your view.
They shorted him his TV remotes, never wired the TV's I had to do it for him. His swivel rockers are not comfy, mine are like sitting on a throne. He has 2 Ac's, I have one and a portable ac, he has 2 electric beds I have a pull down manual bed. I realized for the 35k difference, I love my weekend warrior and if I traded him I would buy another weekend warrior and pocket the difference. I am not impressed at all.
Considering what I paid, I added about 2500.00 in upgrades, solar, stereo upgrades,2 tv's, cell booster and antenna, new vinyl flooring,Slight water damage, ro system I could still sell mine for what I paid for it easily.
These new toyhaulers have got very cheap, until I buy maybe a grand design or simalar 5th wheel TH, I'm so happy to have my fs3000,its been a great trailer with very few issues, even the generator with 600 hrs still works fine.
