We love the layout of the FR Cherokee 264DBH. But what we are struggling with is the good, better, best on siding, frames, slide technology, window construction etc. Is the Cherokee going to hold up given our intended usage? Would we be better off paying $5-10k more and getting a similar layout with fiberglass and a better floor, frame, etc? We’re not planning on using this thing more than 21 days per year but would like it to last for 10 years.
And what construction musts do you recommend?
We’ll be towing with a Chevy Silvarado.
Uh Oh, here we go again .... :W
You haven't indicated at all just what model of Silverado you have but if it's a conventional 1/2 ton with a 5.3L engine that Cherokee 264DBH is WAY too much trailer for that size of truck and with a GVWR of almost 8000 lbs is clearly in 3/4 ton territory. I know you didn't ask but all this other stuff you're asking about means little if you can't safely tow the darned thing. ;)
