first, finding a used Northwood or Outdoors RV product east of the Rockies will not be easy.
second, Riverstone has only been around for 2-3 years and never made a TT, just 5th wheels.
third, doubt if Cedar Creek ever made TT's. if they did, it's been many years ago.
fourth, PrimeTime is owned by FR also. i own one and love it. it offered a lot of things found on more expensive TTs.
have you actually looked at any of the brands in your list?
out of your list, i would put Grand Design at the top.
Thnks @bikendan,
Thanks for your feedback! To answer your question, I have been researching for the better part of several of the last few months. We have walked trhough a few dozen models (none listed above), and have looked online at well over 200 (and seeing the similarities now).
This thread started when I started learning the general consensus that "the best TT's are marginally less crummy than the worst." That was somewhat (okay, a lot) discouraging. We don't really care about new vs used, so my current thinking is if there are better quality brands out there, then we have no problem waiting for an older-model but higher quality TT. That's what my list above of about 4-5 models is all about... Identifying the floorplans that work for us across several higher quality (hopefully) brands.
How has your PrimeTIme been quality-wise? Better, worse, or on-par with the the fix-or-repair-every-trip that I hear about with some other FR brands?
cheers,
