Hi all,
We are looking to upgrade from our trusty old popup to an HTT with 3 popout beds (tall & still growing teenagers), and I'd love your input on deciding between these different brands. I hear that Jayco is generally a high-quality brand, but I have nothing else to really compare the 3 mentioned in my subject line. Are there other brands that have this similar configuration?
I'd love help with comparisons on long-term quality, features you love, value/price, etc. of the various brands. Are there major differences in quality in these brands, or are the cost differences due mostly to trim packages?
Currently we have our eye on a used like-new 2012 Jayco X18D nearby, but we would be willing to buy new if the price was right and/or buy a different brand altogether, perhaps.
THANKS !! :-)

We did the same thing back in 2007. Basically you are comparing two manufactures. Jayco owns StarCraft so they are the same camper with different decals. And Roo and Shamrock are also the same camper with different decals. There might be some small differences but overall the same units. I own a Jayco and love it. They are built well and have had no major issues. I have also heard folks say good things about Roo's as well. I have never owned a Roo so I cannot say anything good or bad about them. We are glad we made the upgrade from a pop up. And this is from someone that swore he would never own a travel trailer other than a pop up. lol
