New guy here and Im really happy I found this place. seems like a lot of friendly, knowledgeable folks here..my question is the wife and I just bought a used Kodiak Skamper.. Its a 2005, its really in good shape but is showing some signs of wear so my thought is, finish out this season and next season then upgrade. the reason we bought used was we wanted to make sure we absolutely loved rv camping..Well, we are positively hooked to say the least.. so now, if this is going to be a life long passion of our growing family I think we deserve something a little (ok, a lot)newer..so what Im looking for is a travel trailer with a rear slide and at least one other slide. maybe a bunkhouse, sleeps 8 and an outdoor kitchen, and preferably under 28 ft. Im towing with a 2012 F150 8 cyl..It doesn't have to have a ton of bells and whistles were just looking for a good, reliable camper. I appreciate any and all imput, being we are TT newbies..Thanks all

I could have written the exact same story about a year ago. We bought a used 2005 Keystone Hornet to pull with my 2009 F-150 5.4 liter. It was a salvage title due to hail damage, but it was only cosmetic. We also wanted to make sure we liked it before we put more money into a trailer. We sold the Hornet about a year ago and went to many shows and dealerships over the winter. We settled on a Keystone cougar 31 sqb, we have two kids and just love the space of the new trailer. I have no regrets, however I did upgrade my truck to a F250 after my first long distance tow. We always took the kids and had a blast at every rv show or dealer that we went to. Good luck and enjoy the search.
