Help choosing trailer
So, I'm about to purchase a new (to me) trailer and could use some help. It's just going to be me, perhaps my 87 year old mother occasionally, or possibly a hunting buddy once in a while. So, no more than two people at any given time. I've narrowed it down to 3 choices:
2012 Salem Cruise Lite 26BHXL - $11,800, 41 months remaining on USA Travel Care Platinum Warranty
2010 KZ Sportsman S240FB - $10,000
2011 Jayco Jay Flight 22 FB - $10000 -
I've also looked at a "gently used" 2015 Forest River Grey Wolf 25RL - $14,900, but that's more than I want to spend, I'm looking to keep it under 10k if possible.
Since the price is similar - and listed price before haggling - which of the three above would you recommend? I don't really have any use for the bunk beds in the Salem, but the warranty is nice.
The KZ has a lot of added features - outside shower,brand new electric tongue jack,,hidden safe, new Dish tailgaiter,receiver,cable and hdmi splitter.The camper has 2 brand new tvs wired hdmi and wired through the basement to watch TV outside. Also Draw tight stabilizer hitch and new swaybar. It does have "some hail dings on the front and one side that are only cosmetic", according to the owner. This one is also about a 3.5 hour drive away.
Anyway, I welcome any advice anyone has on either of these units, on whether or not the prices are justified, or just general feedback on the manufacturers.
Thanks in advance.
