If you put a lot of miles on them, timber ridge trailers need a lot of work as well. I traded in a Timber Ridge 240RKS on the 5er I now have. I averaged a little over 7,000 miles a year towing it, and over 3.5 years I had to re-build most of the cabinets, tighten and loctite numerous screws and fasteners, to include drilling out and replacing ones where the heads broke off. Just the nature of all the shaking and flexing that takes place driving down the road. Our planned August trip is pretty short only around 1,000 miles, but September/October involves working up the west coast to the Canada border and will be approximately 3k. Hopefully, it will be relatively maintenance free. Having our own kitchen, refrigerator, bed etc make it worthwhile to us, but we also travel via motel and car quite often as well. Can't say the RV is the cheapest option, just that we tend to like having the home with us so to speak.
