2014 Forest River 21' for 12K or 2008 21' Fleetwood for 7K

Talking from experience, I purchased a Fleetwood Pioneer 18CK brand new in 2007. It is the exact same trailer as the Mallard. I had it for 3 great years and did great for a family of 4. I too did not like the fold down bunk bed over the rear bed. A screw driver and 20 minutes to remove it. I made a nice shelf on the remaining ledge and it was nice allowing all the light in from the small window.
