A Pilgrim-Hideout showdown
Hello, new here, hoping to get some insights by some that may know...
We are currently deciding between two used travel trailers, one a 2007 Pilgrim International 26 Route 66 Flyer and the other a 2010 Keystone Hideout 26B. Both have the same floor plan and a lot of similarities but some differences and that's where we're struggling.
Both have minor cosmetic damage. Both have the front camper queen however the Pilgrim is 76" long standard camper queen vs Hideout 72" long queen (of which I hang off the end). Extending the Hideout to 76" would be easy but it would also all but removes the walk-around space in the bedroom.
Both have under rear bed and front pass-thru's storage. The Hideout has considerable bigger access doors all around.
Both have the same floor-plan, the Pilgrim has a few more overhead storage areas above the scissor sofa but no pantry as compared to the Hideout. The Pilgrim also seems to have slightly nicer finish (cabinet, fabrics, window dressings).
The Hideout comes with a rear hitch installed (welding in, heavy duty), spare tire, WD hitch, LP tanks, battery. The Pilgrim all of this would need to be 'add-ons' from the dealer.
2007 Pilgrim camper is $10k (with accessories mentioned above and dealer fees) is $11k out the door. The 2010 Hideout is also $11k out the door.
I can't find much on the Pilgrim trailer as far as values, seems a bit high to me but can't confirm that. Pilgrim is also out of business, not too concerned about getting parts besides external panels.
To muddy the waters further, we also like a new Grew Wolf 26DBH but have been told it's a lower quality trailer, and being new it's double the money.
:B Maybe you can see my dilemma, any useful input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
