as i begin my search i would like opinions on quality
What is say the top 5 in quality for TT's. Such as best resale value, strongest roofs and furniture. I am just wanting some names that I should keep my eyes open for
Forum Discussion
Farm Camp made excellent points. Usually when this question is asked, the Jayco owners will swear by Jayco. Forest River the same. Mixed in there somewhere are the ones that just by luck of the draw got a lemon....doesn't necessarily mean that whole line is junk.
First thing is to investigate exactly what your tow vehicle will or will not tow SAFELY. There should be info on a plaque on the drivers side door. If you don't find it, just take your VIN# to the local auto dealer and they can pull up everything you need + a bunch you may not understand at this point, but you'll need. Then allow yourself 1000# of wiggle room off this capacity. Suggest you don't even walk into anything that does not meet this qualification....just makes the shopping more difficult. Decide on things you definitely want, don't want or don't care and make that list. Spend as much time online as possible looking at pix/videos to help narrow down. Both RV Wholesalers and RV Direct carry a lot of different manufacturers, so you can get a lot off just those 2 sites. If you see something that looks perfect, request a price quote and then hit the streets with all this in hand. BTW, somewhere early on, you need to plan just what your budget is for this and stick to it. "Just a few thousand more" is not supposed to be part of the plan.
Suggestion.....if you have kids, drop them at Grandma's before this first few searches....they'll just complicate matters and you need to be focused. It doesn't seem like finding a trailer should be all that tough, but it usually is. Lots of details to notice and think about....take notes. RV salesmen are usually nice, cordial, friendly folks ready to help you with any little thing...or not. Their job is to get you to sign, then it's your problem. Even if they quote you a price "for today only", strongly suggest you sleep on it at least overnight. Happy shopping!
