2014 Evergreen Ascend 231RKB. It gives us just enough room for 2 grandkids. We love it.
If you find an older TT check it carefully and often. It had no delam when we purchased it, but showed delam after 6 months outside in the weather of WNY! I had to remove and reseal the clearance lights.
I had to laugh when I read your comment.
We own a 2004 R-Vision Trail Bay 27DS.
I absolutely love this floor plan. I adore the counter space, large area for TV (if you want a TV).
The ease of getting to the refrigerator and bathroom when closed up. I love that we can have dinnett and couch made into beds and you lose no floor space.
Honestly this trailer has fit our needs for 17 years....I hate to give it up, but we want to be updated with the today markets luxuries. Plus the other hard part is the trailer has held up through the years....no problems.
Thanks for the advice.
The comment I put into bold is pretty puzzling to me.
What "type" of "luxuries" are you really concerned with that you are looking for a new RV?
Not much has changed in RVs from yours other than perhaps different decor color pallet, perhaps different cabinet and counter top, wall paper, flooring finishes/colors.
You can dress that stuff up yourself with paint, wallpaper, flooring and yes you can even change the countertops if you like.
If it is luxuries like IoT (Internet of Things) connected systems to your phone and automated stuff you are far, far better off installing that stuff yourself. The IoT stuff put into the RVs isn't top quality and when it breaks getting repair support can be impossible.
Just because yours is "old" doesn't mean one must replace it, if you like what you have and want a newer refreshed look, consider DIYing some updates to yours.. RV stuff isn't all that great so anything you change will be vastly superior to any new RV.
