Don't believe what you read on the internet.

Second rule is if you read it on a blog it must be true. lol :B

Find a floor plan that you like and hold on to your hair. You'll be losing a lot while working out all the kinks on pretty much any unit you purchase. It's now become the norm and part of the process.

I've heard mostly good things about Grand Design myself.

I've got a Grand Design an couldn't be happier with there support

Find the floorplan you like and buy it. Take care of issues as they arise. All trailers are alike - no quality control during manufacture.

I'm with Halm...if you go buy reviews online you'll have almost no options left (I'm not sure there would be any TH manufacturers left standing). The manufacturer that one person condemns will be the same the next swears by. Choose what you like, do a thorough inspection, understand that there will be some issues, and do as much as you are able on your own. We've had our unit for 5.5 years and the only time it was ever in the shop was to replace a tire. It has had it's issues, but they've been relatively minor and I have fixed them myself.

I would take reviews with a grain of salt. Most negative reviews only represent a tiny portion of actual owners and many of those reviews are from people who want/need to vent. If I listened to all the negative reviews on products I've purchased over the years I would never have purchased anything.

Find a unit you and your DW like and can live with for the foreseeable future along with making sure your truck is more than capable of handling the trailer and go for it. Ensure you do a very thorough PDI, ours took 3 hours, and during the first year get your warranty items repaired. Also, become proficient at repairing your trailer and it will save a lot of grief and time.

Best of luck with your retirement and happy camping.
