- We own a 2015 Cedar Creek Cottage 40CCK. We "camp" at a lake and the Destination Trailer will just sit there year round.
We initially were torn between a Kropf park model (vinyl siding and shingle roof) and a destination trailer. Obviously we chose the destination trailer due to the amenities, price and the slide-outs and the fact that EVERY brand new Kropf park model that we saw at the dealer in CT had major rust on the wheels and frame of the park model. A couple of the models were built within two months of us looking at them. We would NEVER buy something that is rusting in just after a couple of months.
So we bought the Cedar Creek Cottage and we really like it. We have had several issues with things that needed to be fixed under warranty, but our dealer came out to our trailer and fixed them. We still have some things to be fixed, but I am confident that it will all be finished this spring.
Good luck in your decision. rjf7g wrote:

And that's important, isn't it?

Destination trailers and park models are different my seasonal site I can put a destination trailer but not a park model. The ones I looked at the destination trailer had tanks and the park model did not.Terryallan wrote:
Not real sure what a destination trailer is?It’s designed to be towed to a campground, parked and used throughout the season. It is not primarily intended to be towed back and forth to your home base each weekend or to be towed cross country on an extended vacation, though that is not impossible. Like your typical travel trailer, the destination trailer hooks on to the rear of your tow vehicle, is self contained with waste holding tanks, freshwater tank, refrigerator, running water, and hooks up to an outside power source.

I agree with others on not wanting to drag it around. The one I looked at had 2100 pounds of tongue weight.

We always called those. Parks Models.- Depending upon the manufacturer, holding tanks may or may not be included.
- We use to have a Canterbury Park Model 12 wide. Loved it, had it on a seasonal site for 10 year
Destination trailers a basically the same, just too big to tow around. If you are in one place it is worth it. Bucky Badger wrote:

We always called those. Parks Models.- We have a park trailer and I really like the residential fridge and the sliding glass doors. We keep it on a leased lot in a campground on Smith Mountain Lake (VA).
