Flagstaff T12BH VS> A Starcraft of same floorplan

Went to a dealer, {StarCraft} No need to post that experience. Now looking at the Flagstaff. Both have a little storage deck in front. Anyone have any thoughts? seems the axle set up on Flagstaff is better?.. Can not tell in pictures...so will need to see the FIT/Finish etc. Thanks for any input you may have....The A frame concept is appealing...However The ALINER and CHALET is to far away ..And the price?... Well like 10K More...Really?? This only a four to five year toy {TEST} ..Then I will perhaps upgrade to a real trailor...etc....The issue is ..Hat Creek California, Burney falls ..Lassen and a whole lot of ...little places just can not support a large footprint. Heck I can name then...but few go there..Nice having the Trout stream Six feet away ..from Cutthroats to brookies..Dolly Varden..YUM YUM!!!

    I have the Flagstaff toyhauler A-Frame & love it. No complaints regarding my purchase. I've had "real trailers" and a couple motorhomes and I can say that the A-Frame is by far my favorite! It's a pleasure to tow and a pleasure to set up. I cannot see going back to a conventional travel trailer. The Starcraft A-Frame came out a few years after Forest River did...haven't seen one in person to compare. I looked at Aliner prior to my Flagstaff purchase. It wasn't too hard a choice to consider after seeing the toyhauler model and my spouse felt the Flagstaff finish work was better than Aliner models we looked at, at that time.

    Flagstaff and Rockwood should be pretty much identical except for colors and graphics, they are both Forest River.

    I have read a comment not long ago, that if the door (lid) on the storage compartment ever leaks and it isn't caught quickly, a ruined floor could result. The poster of that comment felt that a separate storage compartment would be better than an integrated one. But I have no direct experience in that regard.

    I too am looking at A frames. Going to go look at a used Aliner tomorrow, in fact.
