Sabre 37FLL vs what?

I'm shopping around and so far, we like the Sabre 37FLL.

The living space is nice, and with the peninsula we could do 2 stools to have seating for our family (2 adults and 4 kids under 10). The double lofts also seem to fit with sleeping for those 4 kids.

I know the Artic Wolf 3990 Suite is similar (single loft). What else out there would compare to this Sabre that I should look at?
  • Look beyond the pretty glitz and look at the structure. Look at how well the trailer is built, insulation, tire rating, axle rating, etc.

    A wonderful and pretty trailer is not worth anything to you if it is constantly in the shop for repairs under warranty. Sabre is an average entry level RV.

  • The Sabre dry pin weight (2570) is almost at the total payload capacity for your truck. Loaded, that trailer could be around 2900 on the pin.

    Not sure about the 2WD version of your truck, but the 4WD version has a capacity of 2600, and you have to deduct hitch weight and passenger weight from that.

    IMHO It will probably be that you would be well over your truck's limits.

    Bah. Haven’t updated profile. Truck is ‘22 f350 DRW. Plenty of payload for this category of fivers.

    No problem, then! LOL :B
  • There are a few units out there with mid bunks and a loft that would probably be similar. Or, Sierra and I think another one has a rear queen with a loft for a bunk house that would allow the kids to grow larger.

    One of the issue I have with my bunkhouse is not having room for toys. We have a bike rack on the back, but 3 bike is max as the bikes get larger it is harder to fit them on. We have taken 4 but it's hard to get them all on. Small bikes and kids bikes don't attach to a bike rack correctly. I would think about toy haulers, just so you can give the kids a place to call there own, store bikes, kayak or paddle boards. You might upgrade to a quad or motor bike in the future or something. The toy hauler lets you grow.
