Anyone just keep the first trailer?

We kept our first trailer, which was 8 yrs old when we bought it, for 6 years. We finally just outgrew it. We bought a brand new 2014 trailer back in June. We love it and it is exactly (as close as possible) what we wanted and it has worked out great for us. I think we slept in it 28 nights this year and we had no home sickness or complaints from the kids or my wife. Great times. Any complaints that we did have, were teething issues on a new trailer. Leaking plumbing, bathroom drain that fell apart, 2 bad tires (including the unused spare), set of drawers that became unusable when the rear support fell off the upper mount, drawer under the couch had the bottom blow out, etc. We had more issues this year than any previous year with an older trailer. Some of it came from it being new and having teething issues, some of it was from our adventure out east. I don't think it would be possible to give a trailer a tougher "shake" down run. Lots of rough roads and lots of miles. Nothing that stopped the trip or the fun however. I think I've got them mostly fixed, the rest will be fixed in the spring (better than new) so problems should not come back.

We truly had outgrown out previous trailer, otherwise we'd have had some buyers remorse. Thankfully the larger trailer outweighed the negatives and we're looking forward to an even better year next year. To sum up, change if you have the need and the needs out weight the unknown of a new trailer, don't if you are happy with what you have. Don't buy new based only on an itch for something new.
