Not going to slam the Redwoods, because I know so very little about them.
However, just looking at their web site today, I noted something that did concern me.
I mean, there are just not many fivers, rated for full time use, built as lightly as Redwoods. 38 foot fivers with a GVWR of 16,000 pounds??? Most others in that size range are rated at least 2,000 pounds heavier.
Excels, the old Hitchhikers, Mobile Suites, all had/have fivers in that size range rated to 18,000 pounds or more.
Mind you, they sure look nice. But I would surely be concerned with that low GVWR they have.
If you saw the 36ft or over 38ft as the story told new Redwood in the latest Trailer life it had E rated tires and I was also thinking "big trailer but light weight" The light tires was a clue for me.
