Buying this week: opinions wanted to choose between 2
BACKGROUND (Skip to the question if you want):
I just sold my 2003 Gulf Stream Kingsport (and I previously owned a Forest River hybrid)... but now SWMBO has agreed it's time for us to get a new camper. My requirements are:
1) Sleeping for 5- i'm only interested in units with 3 or 4 single bunk beds and a >= Double bed for wife and I.
2) Outdoor kitchen.
3) 15K BTU ducted A/C
4) U shaped dining tables (so i can seat 5)
5) Seating area OTHER THAN dining table and beds (this means a couch)
6) Decent size tanks- grey water tank size is most important
7) Ideally, want to keep the length <30ft, but don't want to go much over
8) Price < $20K
9) At least 1 Slide (5 people in a camper without a slide is just cramped)
QUESTION:
With my requirements, I've narrowed it down to the choice between A) "2018 Dutchmen Aspen Trail 2910BHS"; and
B) "2018 Forest River Wildwood 282QBXL"
What advice/considerations do you have on these 2? While I think I performed a pretty thorough search, there are hundreds of models from dozens of manufacturers. Is there a model that I should consider also?
