Enclosed underbelly question

Dealer called me they have 2017 29qbsw slx with enclosed belly. Another dealer called they have 2018 without enclosed. Between the two it's not much price difference. The 18 they will go have with me on the slide topper and less with the new hitch setup. What does everyone think
  • Don't know the cost but I wouldn't think that material is that expensive. It comes in whatever length you want and it's held up with self drilling screws and fender washers. High tech heat system consists of a few slits in the duct work made of flexible dryer hose, at least that's how mine is put together. If the only thing keeping you from buying the 18 model just add it later. The dealer may even give you the material to make the deal.
  • There are times I wish I didn't have an enclosed underbelly.

    If they are the same floorplan, then ask yourself if you will really camp in weather where an enclosed underbelly will make a difference or not.

    I've had my current trailer for just over 10 years and the tanks are exposed and have had zero issues. Even camped a couple times right around the freezing mark. Otherwise, I always keep the tanks and lines drained in the winter months. No issues traveling, but I don't do off road either.
