Considering purchasing a travel trailer

Considering trading our Class A Motorhome for a travel trailer. Looking for suggestions on best built travel trailers.

    Correction on the above: The Arctic Fox travel trailers are all aluminum framed.

    ...and the hideous cold white LED lighting. That's the biggest turn off of the Airstreams I've looked at.

    First question:

    What is your tow rig?
  • We have an Arctic Fox 31W with a slider. Weighs 11K loaded and pulls like a sled but is a 4 seasons trailer. Made by Northwood. I get claustrophobic in an Airstream. Ours is a 2014 and we pull it 13,000 miles a year. Have done some mods including 16 inc Michelin LTs. Just have the usual wear issues of a 1st class trailer.
  • Lance makes a superior Travel Trailer & Toy Haulers as well. They've been in business for over 50 years - they also don't delaminate! They don't have wood in the walls, they have something called Azdel which does not absorb water, that means no mold, mildew or rot in the walls like you get with luan
